Instructions
Prepare the pork loin:
- In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, mustard, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Rub this mixture over the pork loin, massaging it well, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (optional).
- Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C (400 °F) for 5 minutes.
Cook the pork loin:
- Place the pork loin in the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 200 °C (400 °F) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
- Check the internal temperature with a kitchen thermometer; it should reach at least 63 °C (145 °F).
- Remove the pork loin and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Prepare the potatoes:
- Wash the potatoes and cut them into chunks if they’re medium-sized.
- Toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Cook at 200 °C (400 °F) for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even browning.
Prepare the red wine sauce:
- In a skillet over medium heat, pour the red wine and let it reduce by half (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add the stock and cook for another 5 minutes.
- If you want to thicken the sauce, mix the butter with the flour and add it to the skillet, stirring until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Adjust the taste with salt, pepper, and a touch of sugar or honey if you prefer a milder flavor.
Assemble the dish:
