Healthier Roasted Pork Loin

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Crush garlic with rosemary, salt, and pepper to make a paste. Pierce meat with a sharp knife in several places and press the garlic paste into openings. Rub meat with remaining garlic mixture and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
3. Place the pork loin into a roasting pan and cook in preheated oven for 45 minutes, basting with pan juices several times. Add the carrots, potatoes, and fennel to the pan and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with more salt and pepper. Continue to roast until pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
4. Remove roast and vegetables to platter. Pour wine into pan, and bring to a boil while scraping browned bits of food off bottom of pan with wooden spoon. Serve with pan juices.

"Excellent. Our local grocery store does not carry fennel, and I wanted the flavor added to it so I used a little fennel seed. I did not have any white wine so I did not use wine, could have used red..." See more, but decided not. The flavor was excellent with out any wine. I just made a regular gravy with the drippings, it was great. I will be using this recipe again. Thank you for a great recipe."
