Mustard-Rosemary Pork Lion



Mustard-garlic rosemary marinade:
1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/4 cup minced shallots
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon minced lemon zest
1/3 cup dry white wine (I used cooking wine)
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
(Marinade for 2 pork lions, if only doing one cut recipe in half)
Place marinade and pork loin in a Ziploc bag, marinade for at least 30 min up to 8 hours.

Grill on medium for 30 min, until it reaches a internal temp of 155-160
Bake in the oven on 350 for 40 min until internal temp is 155-160
Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing so the meat has a chance to re-distribute the juices.
We served with wild rice (yes, me the disliker of wild rice, wished for awesome mashed potatoes or somethink like that : p) and a salad. This could be used in a salad, thinly sliced for sandwiches, I think you could also use the marinade on a frozen pork lion in the crock-pot for 8 to 9 hours on low.
