POM wild rice:
Rub the pork loin in salt, pepper, garlic, and fresh herbs and allow to marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine all wild rice ingredients in a Dutch oven-style pot and cover with a lid. Cook in oven for approximately 90 minutes, or until all of the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
Pork loin:
When rice is finished cooking, remove from oven and lower oven temperature to 325°F. In a hot pan, brown the pork in canola oil until well browned on all sides. Finish cooking in the oven until an internal temperature of 140°F–160°F is reached. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing. Serve over POM wild rice, and top with pomegranate-pecan relish.
Pomegranate-pecan relish:
Combine all relish ingredients and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Spoon over pork loin and serve.
