I received a version of this recipe from the Chef at Jackson 20 in Alexandria, VA and tweaked it a bit. However you prepare your pork loin, brine it first in this mild brine and result will be a mouthwateringly tender pork loin! I buy organic loins when they are on sale, brine them, vacuum seal and freeze them.
