Pork Roast with Two-Bean Saute Recipe

Preheat oven to 350?F.

Season pork loin with salt and ground pepper. Set aside.

In a bowl, using a whisk, whisk olive oil, honey, allspice, and orange zest until emulsified and combined. Brush mixture over pork loin. Place in the oven, and roast until a meat thermometer inserted in its middle reads at least 145?F; about 50 minutes. Cover pork with foil once the skin has darkened. Remove from oven, and let rest 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add spices and bouillon cube, allowing these to melt into the butter. Sprinkle with flour, and stir to combine. While whisking, pour in water. Continue whisking until sauce thickens and begins to bubble. Add leftover marinade from the pork into the gravy. Whisk in orange juice, simmer again 2 minutes, and then remove from heat. Set aside.

Cook the beans: in a sauté pan over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove from heat to a plate. Set aside. Add both beans, and cook until heated through. Pour in wine and reduce until half. Pour in stock, and heat until simmering, stirring occasionally. Return bacon to the pan, and remove from heat. Stir in cold butter until melted.

Slice pork loin, and serve with gravy and beans on the side.
