Tender and full of flavor, this lovely roast is an impressive main dish for a Christmas dinner or any special occasion. The aroma as the roast is baking, enhanced by rosemary and garlic, is mouthwatering. While it is in the oven I decorate my dining room table.—

Ingredients

4 green onions, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2-1/4 cups chicken broth, divided
1 boneless pork loin roast (3 to 3-1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Place first six ingredients and 1/4 cup broth in a large resealable plastic bag; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate 4-8 hours, turning occasionally.
Place roast in an ungreased roasting pan, fat side up, reserving marinade in bag. Add remaining broth to reserved marinade; pour over roast. Sprinkle roast with salt. Bake, uncovered, until a thermometer reads 145°, 1 to 1-1/4 hours.
Remove roast from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, skim fat from pan juices. Mix cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into juices. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with roast.

Very dry even though I was careful to not overcook the loin.

This pork roast is absolutely wonderful! The flavor is amazing. I did find that it's easy to overcook this, so pay attention to that meat thermometer. I've made this for Christmas dinner for the past several years, and everyone always enjoys it.
