Garlic & Rosemary Roast Pork (serves 8)

Ingredients
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 whole heads garlic
2 TBSP chopped fresh rosemary
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 lb bone in pork loin roast
1 TBSP oil

Instructions
1. Heat oven to 375 degree.
Have ready a large roasting pan.

2. Mix minced garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl; rub all over pork.

3. Put meat, bone side down, in pan.
Cut about 1/4 inch off tops of heads of garlic; place heads around pork.
Drizzle garlic with oil, rolling heads in oil to coat.

4. Roast, uncovered, 1+1/4 hours or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of roast (not touching bone) registers 155 degree.
Let rest 15 minutes (temperature of meat will rise to 160 degrees).
Carve and serve with cloves of roasted garlic to squeeze from skins onto pork.

Different Takes
- 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.
