Ingredients

• 2 kilograms pork loin
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 5 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 250 milliliters white wine
• 250 milliliters vegetable broth
• 1 lemon
• 1 onion
• 1 carrot

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Rinse the pork loin under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Combine them with olive oil, finely chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to create a paste.

Step 4

Rub the herb paste all over the pork loin, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork loin on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 6

While the pork is searing, peel and slice the onion and carrot into thick rings. Halve the lemon.

Step 7

Once the pork is seared, transfer it to a roasting pan. Arrange the onion and carrot slices around the pork, and squeeze the lemon halves over the pork and vegetables.

Step 8

Pour the white wine and vegetable broth into the roasting pan, making sure the liquid covers the vegetables partially.

Step 9

Cover the roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.

Step 10

Roast the pork loin for about 60 minutes, then remove the lid or foil and continue to roast for another 20-30 minutes to allow the meat to form a crust.

Step 11

Check the pork for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part. It should read at least 63°C (145°F).

Step 12

Once done, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Serve the svinjski kare with roasted vegetables and drizzle some of the pan juices over the top for added flavor.
