Ingredients for 4-5 servings

- Garlic to taste
- 1 scant teaspoon of cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable stock granules

- 1/3 teaspoon secret ingredient
Preparation
-
Marinating the loin
For a more intense flavor, leave the loin to marinate for at least 30 minutes with the juice of a lemon, a little garlic powder, pepper and chopped rosemary. This will help to tenderize the meat and enrich it with aromas. -
Cooking the meat
Heat a non-stick pan and add the loin slices without oil. Cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, until the meat is golden. Add the sage and a crushed garlic clove for additional flavor. -
Preparation of the light sauce
In a glass, dissolve the cornstarch with the juice of another lemon and a drop of water. Add the vegetable stock granules and the secret ingredient (for an extra touch of flavor!). Pour the mixture into the pan with the meat and cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently until you get a creamy and enveloping sauce. -
Finalization and plating
Serve the pork loin piping hot with the lemon sauce and a sprinkling of freshly ground peppercorns. Pair with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced, flavorful meal.
Tips and variations
-
If you prefer a more delicate sauce, you can dilute the lemon juice with a little vegetable broth.

The secret ingredient can be a pinch of turmeric or a mix of spices that will give a special touch to the recipe!
