Pork loin baked with basil and parmesan is an elegant dish of French cuisine that combines aromatic herbs and rich cheese flavor. This recipe embodies the traditions of Provençal cooking, where fresh herbs play a key role. The loin soaked in a mixture of parmesan, garlic, and basil becomes tender and flavorful, while mustard adds a slight spiciness. Baking with thyme in foil helps retain the meat's juiciness, creating a delicate texture. Perfect for a festive dinner or cozy family lunch. Serve with light wine and fresh salad for complete harmony of flavors.
