Pro Tips for Perfectly Roasted Pork Loin:

1. Dry and Season Thoroughly: Pat the pork dry before applying the garlic rub. This helps the crust form and enhances flavor.
2. Use a Meat Thermometer: Check doneness without guessing. Remove the roast when it hits 145°F for safe and juicy results.
3. Baste with Juices: Spoon pan drippings over the pork during roasting to lock in flavor and moisture.
4. Rest Before Slicing: Let the meat rest for 10 minutes after cooking. This keeps the juices inside for every slice.
5. Deglaze the Pan Well: Don’t skip the wine glaze—it adds depth and uses every bit of flavor from the roast.

Roasted Pork Loin Recipe

• Preparation time: 15 minutes
• Cooking time: 1.5 to 2 hours
• Servings: 8
• Equipment: Oven-safe roasting pan, meat thermometer, mortar and pestle or bowl

Pair this pork with something comforting like candied carrots or fluffy easy Dutch oven no-knead bread to round out your meal beautifully.

Ingredients:

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 pounds boneless pork loin roast
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ½ cup white wine

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it heats, gather and prep all ingredients.
2. Create the Garlic Rub: Use a mortar and pestle (or a bowl with a spoon) to mash garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper into a fragrant paste.
3. Season the Pork: Cut small slits into the pork using a sharp knife. Press the garlic paste deep into the openings. Rub any remaining mix over the pork, then coat with olive oil.
4. Begin Roasting: Place the seasoned pork into an oven-safe pan. Roast uncovered. Every 30 minutes, baste with juices from the bottom of the pan.
5. Check for Doneness: Roast for 90 minutes to 2 hours. The internal temperature should read 145°F (63°C) when done. Remove from the oven and set on a platter, tented loosely with foil.
6. Make the Wine Sauce: Place the roasting pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Pour in the white wine, scraping up the browned bits. Let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes to create a rich, savory sauce.
7. Slice and Serve: Slice the roast into generous portions and drizzle with the pan sauce for a stunning finish.
