Let’s dive into how to make this mouthwatering dish and why it’s become such a beloved Southern classic.
Why Coca-Cola?
Using Coca-Cola in cooking might seem a bit unusual, but this beloved soft drink is more than just a beverage. Its natural sweetness and acidity make it a perfect marinade or glaze for meats like pork. The soda tenderizes the meat while creating a glaze that caramelizes beautifully during cooking. As it cooks, the Coca-Cola reduces and concentrates its flavors, adding depth and richness to the pork loin.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 (3-4 lb) pork loin roast
- 1 can (12 oz) Coca-Cola (regular, not diet)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
