Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/4 | Ground Cayenne Pepper |
| 1-2 | Garlic |
| 1 | Granulated Sugar |
| – | (Optional) |
| 2 | Ground Rosemary |
| 3 | Boneless Pork Roast |
| 1 1/4 | White Wine |
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Mix the ground cayenne pepper, minced garlic, granulated sugar, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl until well combined.
-
Press the seasoning mixture onto the surface of the pork roast, ensuring it is evenly coated.
-
Place the seasoned roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
-
Roast in the preheated oven at 450°F for 15 minutes to brown the exterior.
-
Pour 1/2 cup of white wine over the roast, then lower the oven temperature to 325°F.
-
Continue to roast the pork at 325°F, adding about 1/4 cup of liquid (water or additional wine) to the pan every 15 minutes or as needed to prevent drying.
-
Baste the roast with the pan juices every time you add liquid, ensuring it remains moist and flavorful.
-
Roast until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145-150 degrees Fahrenheit, which will take approximately 1 1/2 hours. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
-
Remove the cooked roast from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter.
-
Baste the roast with the remaining drippings in the roasting pan, allowing the flavors to meld.
-
Let the roast stand for about 10 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute evenly.
-
Optional: For extra garlic flavor, you can push several cloves (sliced in quarters) into cuts made in the surface of the roast before cooking.
