Roasted Loin of Pork with Pan Gravy

Flavorful pork gravy made with pan drippings, oven-roasted vegetables, and stock served over juicy, tender slices of pork loin. Great to serve to guests! My mother-in-law (who can't cook) demanded I teach her how to make this.

Recipe Tip

Substitute chicken stock for pork stock if desired.

You don't need to make the veggies in the roasting pan with the pork if your pan is small, but it does taste better.
