Making Italian Roast Pork Loin Dinner Recipe

Enjoying pork on occasion will not send the scales soaring,so long as you choose the healthier,lean cuts such as loin or tenderloin,which compare favorably to skinless chicken in terms of fat and calorie content.This hearty,no-fuss dinner recipe revamps the classic Italian rendition without tons of fat.

Ingredients for 8 serving are: (1) 1 tablespoon no-salt lemon pepper (2) 2 teaspoons fennel seeds (3) 2 teaspoons dried oregano (4) 2 teaspoons dried rosemary (5) 1 teaspoon salt (6) 1 tablespoon olive oil (7) 3 garlic cloves,mashed or put through a garlic press (8) 1 (2 1/2-pound) pork loin,trimmed of all exterior fat.

1. Preheat oven to 325F. Combine the lemon pepper,fennel seeds,oregano,rosemary,and salt in a small bowl; set aside. Combine the olive oil and mashed garlic in a second small owl.Rub the olive oil mixture evenly over the pork loin,coating it thoroughly.Sprinle the herb mixture over the entire pork loin.Place in a shallow roasting pan,broiler pan,or shallow baking dish.

2. Roast until golden brown.An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loin should register 160F for medium,about 65 minutes,or 170 for well done,about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
