Serves 8
A roast pork loin like this would have been a typical meal for the staff of grand estates like the one portrayed on "Downton Abbey." Cooking time can vary widely depending on the thickness of the roast; begin checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer after 50 minutes.
| 2 | cloves garlic, finely chopped |
| 1 | tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram |
| Salt and pepper, to taste | |
| 2 | teaspoons chopped fresh sage |
| 2 | tablespoons vegetable oil |
| 1 | boneless pork loin (about 4 pounds) |
1. Set the oven at 350 degrees. Have on hand a roasting pan.
2. In a bowl, combine the garlic, marjoram, salt, pepper, sage, and vegetable oil. Rub the mixture all over the meat. Set it in the pan.
3. Roast the pork for 60 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 150 degrees. Let the meat sit in a warm place for 10 minutes before slicing. Adapted from
