Pork loin braised with mushrooms, citrus, and herbs is a traditional Corscian dish that deserves a place on your dinner table.

Ingredients

• 1 (2-pound) boneless center-cut pork loin, tied with kitchen twine
• 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound white button mushrooms, quartered
• 8 small white spring onions (about 10 ounces), trimmed, white parts only
• 3 large garlic cloves, smashed
• 1/2 cup (4 ounces) corsican muscat wine
• 1 cup lower-sodium chicken stock
• 3 rosemary sprigs
• 6 thyme sprigs
• 8 (3-inch) orange peel strips
• cooked polenta, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle pork evenly with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high.
2. Add pork to pan; cook over medium-high, undisturbed, until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn pork. Repeat until each side is browned, about 12 minutes. Remove pork from skillet, and set aside.
3. Add mushrooms, onions, and garlic to pan; cook over medium-high, stirring often, until liquid from mushrooms has released and evaporated, about 8 minutes. Add wine; cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan, until wine is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add stock, rosemary, and thyme; cook, undisturbed, 3 minutes. Return pork to pan. Cover, transfer to preheated oven, and roast until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of meat registers 130°F, about 30 minutes.
4. Remove pan from oven. Transfer pork to a cutting board; let rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile, add orange peel strips to mushroom mixture in pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high; boil until sauce has slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Discard orange peel strips, rosemary, and thyme.
5. Remove and discard twine from pork. Slice pork against the grain. Serve over polenta with mushroom mixture.
