Rosemary Encrusted Pork Loin

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. 2

   Slice the garlic cloves vertically into quarters.

3. 3

   With a sharp knife, make eight vertical slits into the top of the pork loin, approximately 1 inch deep.

4. 4

   Into each slit, insert a wedge of garlic clove.

5. 5

   Rub the outside of the pork loin with the pepper and salt, and press a thick layer of rosemary onto all sides of the pork loin.

6. 6

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and brown the pork loin on all sides.

7. 7

   Place the browned pork loin in a roasting pan (a loaf pan works particularly well for smaller loins), and add the water to the bottom of the pan.

8. 8

   Cover the pan with aluminum foil, and make a few holes to allow steam to escape.

9. 9

   Roast the pork loin in the oven at 400 degrees until done: 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
