Pork Loin with Garlic and Rosemary
from ButterYum
makes 8 servings
Ingredients
3 pound boneless pork loin (not tenderloin)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Seasoning Paste:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic paste
1 tablespoon dried rosemary, ground
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup water
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F and place rack in center position.
Using a mortar and pestle, mini food processor, drink blender, or spice grinder that is dishwasher safe (for easy cleaning afterward), grind rosemary.
In a small bowl, whisk together ground rosemary, olive oil, garlic paste, salt, and pepper, until a paste forms.
Place the pork loin on a rack suspended over a rimmed sheet pan and rub all over with garlic/rosemary paste.
Insert an over-safe probe thermometer into the end of the loin until the tip of the probe reaches the center; pour 1 cup water into the pan (avoid pouring the water over the seasoning paste).
Carefully place the rimmed sheet pan in the center of the preheated oven and roast for approximately 1 hour (or until an internal temperature of 145F is reached).
Remove pork loin from oven and rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
