Ingredients

• 2 lb Pork loin
• 3 whole Garlic bulbs
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tsp Fresh rosemary
• 2 tsp Fresh thyme
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 cup Chicken stock
• 0.5 cup White wine
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the pork loin and set aside.

Step 3

Slice the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves, drizzle each with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap them tightly in aluminum foil.

Step 4

Roast the wrapped garlic bulbs in the oven for 40 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden. Once cool, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins into a small bowl and mash into a paste.

Step 5

Using a sharp knife, cut a deep pocket lengthwise through the pork loin, being careful not to cut through the edges.

Step 6

Rub the mashed roasted garlic evenly into the pocket of the pork loin. Tie the pork loin closed at 2-inch intervals with butcher's twine to secure the filling.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the remaining olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Rub this mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork loin.

Step 8

Heat a large ovenproof skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 9

Pour the chicken stock and white wine into the skillet or roasting pan around the pork loin.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet or roasting pan to the oven and roast at 375°F (190°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 11

Remove the pork loin from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

While the pork rests, place the skillet or roasting pan with the cooking liquid on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the butter and whisk until melted, reducing the liquid slightly to create a sauce.

Step 13

Slice the pork loin into 1-inch thick slices and serve with the pan sauce drizzled on top.
