For the crust, in a bowl mix the amaranth with the peanut, flaxseed, garlic powder, and paprika until fully combined. Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet or into a wide container. Cover the pork loin with honey using a brush. Place the piece of meat on the seed mixture and cover the surface completely; with the help of your hands, press to make the mixture adhere. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Pour the Knorr® 100% Natural Tomato Broth into water and stir until dissolved. In a pot with hot oil, sauté the onion along with the garlic until they have a shiny color, add the prunes and cook for 3 minutes over medium heat. Pour in the orange juice, apple cider vinegar, the diluted Knorr® 100% Natural Tomato Broth, the guajillo chiles, cloves, and thyme; cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and blend until completely integrated. Place the pork loin crust in a baking dish, pour the sauce over the meat, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 60 minutes at 200 °C. After the time is up, remove from the oven, take off the aluminum foil, and bake for an additional 15 minutes at 200 °C. Cut the loin and serve with steamed vegetables.
