Recipe courtesy of Pam's Midwest Kitchen Korner

Ingredients:

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon dried rosemary

Salt and seasoned pepper, to taste

2 pounds boneless pork loin roast

Method:

Preheat oven to 350°.

Using a mortar and pestle, crush garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper, making a paste.

With a sharp knife, pierce meat in several spots and press the garlic paste into the openings.

Rub the meat with the remaining garlic mixture.

Transfer the pork to a rack in a roasting pan.

Roast, uncovered, for about 1 hour 15 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 145° to 160°, or until desired degree of doneness.

Let roast 10 minutes on cutting board before carving.

Serve
