1 cup

Dry white wine

1/2 cup

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, freshly chopped rosemary and thyme, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until you have a well-blended paste.
3. Rub this aromatic paste all over the pork roast so that it's evenly coated. Don't rush this step, take your time to infuse the meat with all the flavors.
4. Place the seasoned pork roast in a roasting pan. Pour the dry white wine and chicken broth into the pan. This will not only keep the meat tender but also form the base of your delicious gravy.
5. Cover the roasting pan with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for 1 hour.
6. After 1 hour, remove the foil and continue roasting for an additional 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork roast reaches 145°F (63°C). You can check this using a meat thermometer.
7. Once done, remove the pork roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This rest period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the roast, ensuring a moist and flavorful dish.
8. Slice the pork roast and serve drizzled with the pan juices, which can be served as is or reduced on the stove into a thicker gravy. Enjoy this traditional Italian delicacy!
