Ingredients :
- 8 large garlic cloves
- 1tbsp finely chopped fresh rosmary leaves
- 1tbsp finely chopped thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2kg pork loin roast
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 115g thinly sliced pancetta
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cups dry white wine
Method
1. Blend the garlic, rosmary, thyme, and oil in a small food processor, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until the garlic is minced.
2. SPrinkle the pork roast generously with salt and pepper. Arrange the pancetta slices on a work surface, overlapping slightly and forming a rectangle. Spread half of the garlic mixture over 1 side of the pork and between the two loins that meet in the center of the tied pork roast. Place the pork, garlic mixture side down, in the centre of the pancetta rectangle. Spread the remaining garlic mixture over the remaining pork. Wrap the pancetta slices around the pork. Place the pork in a roasing pan. Cover and refridgerate at least 1 hour and up to one day.
3. Preheat the oven to 200C
4. Pour 1/2 cup of broth and 1/2 cup of wine into the roasting pan. Add more broth and wine to the pan juices every 20 minutes. Roast the pork until a meat themometer inserted into the center registers 60C for medium-rare, about 1 hour. Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Tent with aluminium foil and let stand for 10 minutes. Pour the pan drippings into a glass measuring cup and spoon off any fat that rises to the top.
Using a large sharp carving knife, cut the pork into 1/4-inch-thick slices and serve with pan juices.
