Roast pork with herbs

Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
1 kg pork loin
1 lemon
1 sprig rosemary
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 pinch ground cloves
salt
pepper

Method
Pre-heat the oven to 200º C. Wash the pork and dry with paper towel.

Wash and dry the lemon and finely grate the peel. Wash and dry the rosemary, pull the leaves off the stem and chop one third of them. Peal and finely chop the garlic.

In a bowl, thoroughly mix the grated lemon peel, garlic, olive oil and chopped rosemary leaves with the fennel seeds, chopped garlic, salt and pepper.

Make punctures approx. 1 cm apart in the surface of the pork loin with a knife covered in the above spice mixture. Spread the rest of the spice mixture over the pork.

Put the meat in an ovenproof dish and cook for around 2 hours. Turn the meat from time to time, basting with the cooking juices.
