Herb and Lemon Pork Loin (Crock Pot)

Basically, this is a herb rub.  Rubs are easy!   Really easy.   Like everything else I cook, I like simple and too the point.   This dish offers a maximum return in flavor with minimal ingredients and effort.   The hardest part is planning this meal.  If you have 6 hours to kill while waiting for the pork loin to cook, then this is meal for you.   The loin cooks to perfection: extremely tender and juicy.   Ugh, I can get enough of this loin.

I have to say, the whole house smelled amazing throughout the day while the pork loin was cooking. Even better on a cool day like today.

Ingredients:

3 pounds of pork loin 

2 tablespoons of salt

1 tablespoon of pepper

2 tablespoons of dried rosemary

2 tablespoons of dried tarragon

2 medium lemons

2 tablespoons of olive oil

Directions:

In a large pan, heat olive oil under medium-high heat.  When oil is hot, brown pork loin on each side (approximately 3 min per side).  Remove and place on plate too cool.

In a small bowl, mix pepper and salt.  Then rub the hell out of the pork loin.  In a small bowl, mix dried rosemary and dried tarragon in small bowl.   Rub the hell out of the pork loin, again.  Place loin in crock pot.

Using one of the lemons, squeeze the juice of the lemon over the loin.  With remaining lemon, cut into thin slices and place on top of the loin.   Cook on low for 6-7 hours.
