Arista di Maiale

Arista di Maiale is a succulent Italian pork loin roast, seasoned with aromatic herbs and garlic, perfect for a hearty lunch. This dish pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, making it both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Pork loin - 500 grams
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Fresh rosemary - 2 sprigs, chopped
• Fresh thyme - 2 sprigs, chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Lemon - 1, juiced
• White wine - 100 ml

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
3. Rub the marinade all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
4. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Pour the white wine into the skillet around the pork loin, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
6. Roast the pork for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F).
7. Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
8. Slice the pork loin and serve with the pan juices drizzled on top.
