Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare the rub in advance?

Yes, you can mix the dry and fresh herbs with the oil up to 24 hours ahead. Keep it refrigerated until you are ready to cook.

What if I don't have fresh herbs?

You can substitute with dried herbs, but use only 1 teaspoon of each since dried herbs are more concentrated.

Is this meal suitable for meal prep?

Absolutely. Store the pork and broccoli in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to keep the pork moist.
