Ingredients

• salt and pepper to taste
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
• 2 pounds boneless pork loin roast
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.5 cup white wine

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Crush garlic with rosemary, salt and pepper in a mortar and pestle to make a paste. Pierce meat with a sharp knife in several places and press garlic paste into the openings. Rub pork loin with the remaining garlic mixture and olive oil. Set into an oven-safe pan.

Step 3

Place pork loin into the preheated oven, turning and basting with pan liquids every 30 minutes. Cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 90 minutes to 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove roast to a platter and keep warm.

Step 4

Place pan onto the stove over medium-high heat and pour wine into it. Heat wine and stir to loosen browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 5

Slice pork loin and serve with pan juices.
