Ingredients

1 large handful cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 handful mint leaves, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves
8 garlic cloves, crushed (about 1/2 cup)
1 red chile, finely chopped (keep the seeds if you like it hot)
Zest and juice of 4 limes
Zest and juice of 2 oranges
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 (6 1/2 –7-pound) pork loin

Instructions

Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl, reserving 1 Tbsp. olive oil.
Put the pork loin in a large ziplock bag with the marinade, seal and massage the marinade into the pork. Put the bag in the fridge and marinate for at least 5 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 425 °F.
Heat reserved 1 Tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Remove the pork from the bag and allow the excess marinade to drip away. Cook the pork, turning frequently, for 5 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides.
Put the pan in the oven and cook for 7 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the meat reads 143 –149 °F. Remove from the oven and rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
