Ingredients
- 1 (4-pound) boneless pork loin, with fat left on
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried basil or 2 teaspoons fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
Directions
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
Place the pork loin on a rack in a roasting pan. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. With your fingers, massage the mixture onto the pork loin, covering all of the meat and fat.
Roast the pork for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 425 degrees F and roast for an additional hour. Test for doneness using an instant-read thermometer. When the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F, remove the roast from the oven. Allow it to sit for about 20 minutes before carving. It will continue to cook while it rests.

I agree with the reviewers who felt that the cooking time was too long and the temperature too high. Unfortunately, I followed the recipe and didn't use a meat thermometer. The meat was practically burned! Paula's recipes usually are so good! I plan to try this again using the temperature/cooking time suggested by one of the other reviewers.

So disappointing. It was very dry and cooked way faster than indicated. I took it out of the oven 30 minutes early and after letting it rest it was overcooked. Barely edible.
