Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Rub pork loin with salt and pepper and 2 teaspoons mustard on a plate. On a plate, season breadcrumbs with salt and pepper. Coat top and sides of roast with breadcrumbs, leaving ends uncoated.

In a 9x 13 inch roasting pan, toss onions with the oil; season with salt and pepper. Place pork loin in center of pan; roast 15 minutes. Turn onions, cook 10 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water; stir onions to coat. Continue cooking until onions are caramelized, pork juices run clear, and thermometer registers 140 degrees, 10-15 minutes more. Remove pork and onions from pan. Let meat rest 20 minutes before slicing.

While meat is resting, add 1/2 cup water and remaining teaspoon mustard to pan. Cook over medium heat, scraping up browned bits. Stir until sauce fully blended, 3-5 minutes. Serve with pork and onions.
