[Guest guest]

Roasted Pork Loin with Rosemary

(makes 6 servings)

1 1/2 pounds (675 g) boneless pork loin roast

3 garlic cloves, peeled and mashed

1/2 tablespoon (7.5 ml) chopped fresh rosemary

1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil

1/4 teaspoon (1.5 ml) salt (optional)

vegetable cooking spray

1/3 cup (80 ml) dry white wine

rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)

With a sharp knife, make slits in the pork every inch (2.5 cm) or so

at regular intervals.

Combine the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, pepper, and salt (if using)

in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over the roast and refrigerate for

at least 2 hours or overnight.

Before you are ready to roast the pork, preheat oven to 400°F (220°C,

Gas Mark 6).

Spray an oven proof roasting pan with cooking spray and place the

roast in it. Roast until an instant-reading meat thermometer

registers 160°F (71°C), about 1 1/4 hours, basting once. Transfer the

pork to a warmed platter. Keep warm.

Pour off any fat in the roasting pan. Deglaze the pan with wine and

reduce over high heat, scraping up all the cooked bits, until the

wine is reduced by 1/3.

To serve, slice in thin slices and spoon the wine sauce over the

slices. Garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired.
