Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove any silvery-looking skin from the pork. In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, parsley, parmesan, thyme, salt, and pepper. In a small bowl, combine mustard, fennel, and garlic. Spread mustard mixture evenly over pork. Roll pork in crumb mixture.

Place pork on prepared baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 155 F and just a hint of pink remains inside. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

To make ahead: Prepare as per recipe. Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before baking.
