Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Combine mustard and thyme in a small bowl. Generously season the loin on all sides with salt and pepper, then rub the top with the mustard and thyme mixture (leave the bottom and sides as is).
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, without stirring, until dark golden brown spots appear, about 2 minutes. Turn the onion wedges over and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in the cider, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Spread the dried fruit in an even layer in the skillet and remove from the heat.
- Place the pork loin in the pan, mustard-coated side up. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145–150°F (63–66°C), about 1 hour. (The pork will continue to cook after you remove it from the oven.) Transfer the pork to a cutting board, cover with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Slice the meat into 1cm thick slices. Season the sauce in the pan, onion and dried fruit with salt and pepper and serve with the pork.
