1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 1/2 cups of water (600ml)
Preheat the oven to 250°C (very hot)
Brush a large baking dish with oil and set aside
Makes the filling: In a large frying pan, heat the oil and butter over high heat
Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is soft, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes
Add the mango and salt and stir to combine
Sauté for about 1 minute
Remove from heat, add the remaining ingredients, and stir to combine
Set aside
Using a sharp knife, open the pork loin, forming a large filet with 1cm thickness, and season with salt
Briefly tap the pork loin with a meat mallet
Distribute the reserved filling along one side of the meat
Drape the other side over the filling
Tie with kitchen twine
Place the pork loin in the prepared baking dish
Pour in 1 cup of water (240ml) and cover with aluminum foil
Bake in the preheated oven, basting with the pan juices as they form, until the meat is tender (about 35 minutes)
Remove the foil
Continue to bake, basting with another 1 cup of water, until the pork loin browns (about 1 hour)
Transfer the pork loin to a serving platter, remove the twine, and set aside
Add the remaining water to the pan juices in the baking dish and boil over high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon (about 1 minute)
Slice the pork loin into portions, pour on some of the pan juices, and serve immediately
