Heat olive oil in a roasting pan or large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown. This step helps to lock in the juices.
Roasting:
Preheat the oven to a moderate temperature (e.g., 325°F or 160°C).
Place the pork in the roasting pan.
You can add vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery to the pan for added flavor.
Roast the pork until it reaches the desired internal temperature. A meat thermometer is essential for accuracy.
Often white wine is added to the pan, for added flavor, and to help keep the roast moist.
Resting:
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
Tips for Success:
Use a Meat Thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that your pork is cooked to the correct temperature.
Don’t Overcook: Overcooked pork can be dry and tough.
Let it Rest: Resting the pork is essential for a juicy and tender roast.
Flavor Variations: Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to create your own unique flavor profile.
Enjoy your delicious Italian roast pork!
