1 1-1/2-pound pork boneless

top loin roast

1 teaspoon olive or vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon crushed fennel seed

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

The fennel and garlic seasoning used on this pork loin combines well with the flavor of Tomato-Herb Loaf for a delightful sandwich.

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spray roasting pan rack with nonstick cooking spray. Trim fat from pork roast. Cut pork lengthwise almost into halves; open flat with cut side up. Mash remaining ingredients into a paste. Rub 2 teaspoons of the paste on inside of pork. Fold pork lengthwise into halves; rub remaining paste on outside of pork. Place pork on rack in shallow roasting pan. Roast uncovered 1 hour for medium doneness (160 degrees). Cut into 1/4-inch slices. 6 servings
