What is Pork Loin?
Pork loin is a larger, thicker cut of pork that is typically sold as a roast and can also be cut into pork chops. It is very different from pork tenderloin, which is smaller, leaner, and cooks much faster.
On the other hand, a pork tenderloin is much smaller and only about two inches across. It is very tender (hence the name.) Although they sound similar and interchangeable, these two cuts of meats are actually quite different.

The great thing about all of these pork loin recipes is that you can serve them with just about any side dish you’d like. When thinking of starches, I like to serve mine with some sort of potato usually. That could be mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes or even baked potatoes.
A nice side salad with a lemon vinaigrette is always a great option. I also like to serve mine with either green bean salad or broccoli.
