4 CLOVES GARLIC, MINCED, PLUS 3 WHOLE HEADS GARLIC
2 TBSP CHOPPED FRESH ROSEMARY
1 TSP SALT
½ TSP PEPPER
ONE 4-LB BONE-IN PORK LOIN ROAST
1 TBSP OIL
Heat oven to 375°F. Mix minced garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl; rub all over pork.
Put meat, bone side down, in a large roasting pan. Cut about ¼ in. off tops of heads of garlic; place heads around pork. Drizzle garlic with oil, rolling heads in oil to coat.
Roast, uncovered, 1¼ hours or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of roast (not touching bone) registers 155°F. Let rest 15 minutes (temperature of meat will rise to 160°F). Carve and serve with cloves of roasted garlic to squeeze from skins onto pork.
- Spread pork with Dijon mustard, then with the garlic-rosemary mixture.
- Arrange small new potatoes around the pork before roasting.
- Squeeze roasted garlic into mashed potatoes or toss with cooked vegetables.
