4 | Bay leaves, minced |
3 cloves | Garlic, finely chopped |
1 Tablespoon | Wild Pollen Ranch Fennel Pollen |
1 teaspoon | Finely chopped rosemary |
1 Tablespoon | Sea salt |
½ Tablespoon | Freshly ground black pepper |
1 cup Plus 2 Tablespoons | Dry white wine |
4 pounds | Center-cut boneless pork loin roast, preferably with rind attached |
|
Preheat the oven to 450�.
In a small bowl, combine the bay leaves with the garlic, Pollen Ranch Fennel Pollen and rosemary. Stir in the salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the wine. Rub the marinade over the pork and tie the roast at 1-inch intervals with kitchen string.
Set the roast on a rack in a medium roasting pan and cook for 30 minutes, basting with the remaining wine every 15 minutes.
Serves 6-8.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350� and roast for another 30 minutes, basting periodically.
Turn the oven down to 300� and roast for 1 hour longer, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 145�.
Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let stand for 20 minutes. Remove and discard the strings.
Pour the juices from the roasting pan into a small saucepan and skim off as much of the fat as possible. Rewarm the pan juices and season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the pork and arrange on a platter or plates. Drizzle with the pan juices and serve. |
