Pork Loin Paula Dean Style

I love a good pork loin! However, I am VERY partial to my dads BBQ loin. While eating a New Years' dinner with my family, my Nanny cooked a WONDERFUL loin. She spilled her secret...www.pauladean.com Here is the recipe for anyone who wants to give it a try.

Ingredients:
1 (4-pound) boneless pork loin, with fat left on 1 tablespoon salt 2 tablespoon olive oil 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon dried basil or 2 teaspoons fresh basil leaves 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary

Directions
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
Place the pork loin on a rack in a roasting pan. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. With your fingers, massage the mixture onto the pork loin, covering all of the meat and fat.
Roast the pork for 30 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 425 degrees F and roast for an additional hour. Test for doneness using an instant-read thermometer. When the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F, remove the roast from the oven. Allow it to sit for about 20 minutes before carving. It will continue to cook while it rests.
