Ingredients:
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 2 pounds boneless pork loin
- ½ cup chardonnay
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil about ¼ cup
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Place the garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper, and olive oil into a mortar. Crush with the pestle to make a paste.
