Instructions:
-
Prepare Butter Mixture: In a bowl, mix together butter, prosciutto, minced garlic, chopped rosemary leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside. This mixture can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for up to one day, but make sure to bring it to room temperature before using.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare Pork Roast: Using a sharp knife, cut slits about an inch long and half an inch deep all over the top of the pork loin.
-
Apply Butter Mixture: Take the prepared butter mixture and generously spread it over the surface of the pork roast, ensuring to push it into the slits you made earlier. This step is crucial for infusing the roast with flavor.
-
Optional Overnight Refrigeration: If preparing ahead, you can wrap the seasoned roast in plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight or up to one day.
-
Roasting: Place the prepared pork roast in a roasting pan. Slowly pour the dry white wine over the roast. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, depending on the size of the roast. Baste the roast with the pan drippings every 30 minutes to ensure it stays moist and flavorful.
-
Resting: Once the roast is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for about 15 minutes before carving. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist and tender roast.
-
Serve: After resting, slice the roast pork and serve it alongside your favorite sides. Whether you choose to serve it with braised Belgian endive, sautéed broccoli rabe, or a simple green salad, this Show-off Roast Pork is sure to impress your guests with its delicious flavor and tender texture.
Enjoy your culinary masterpiece and revel in the compliments from your guests as they savor every mouthful of this succulent roast pork! 🎉
