Roasted pork loin

How many times you had a situation of imminent guests when you were trying to astonish them with a special dish? Here I suggest a NO RISK dish: roasted pork loin. "Hmmmm", you will think, "not that easy!" Don't be scared, it's not fast but really simple. And the best part of it is that everybody and I say, everybody, will love it! Unless this person is a vegetarian....

INGREDIENTI:
 serving : 5-6

1kg pork loin
150g sliced bacon (rolled Pancetta)
rosemary (fresh sprigs) 
dried mixed herbs
salt
EVO oil
aluminum foil

1. Wash the loin and dry it with a paper towel.
2. Add salt and mixed herbs.
3. Pour some oil into the glass / ceramic pot, put the rosemary sprigs and place the loin on top.
4. Cover the meat with the slices of bacon, the one I usually use is Rolled Pancetta (raw salted bacon), but you can use any sliced bacon you have, the smoked one is really nice in this recipe.
5. Pour some more oil on top the meat. 
6. Cover the pot with a aluminum foil.
7. Cook your pork loin in the oven at 180-200C max. 
Note: Slow cooking at a low temperature will render the meat tender and juicy but not dry.
8. Now my favourite part comes: FORGET about the meat for 1 hour. Then take it out of the oven and wet the meat with the sauce that you will find at this point in the pot. Cover the pot with the foil again.
9. And now? Forget about your meat for one more hour. Easy??

10. You may take the foil out for 5-10 minute at the end of cooking so you will have the top of the roasted meat crispy.


11. Make sure you cut the loin into thin slices and pour some sauce on top. Bon Appetit!!!
