Pork Loin Crunch In Red Wine - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 -5 lbs pork loin roast
1 tablespoon basil
1 -2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon oregano
1/2 cup red wine
3/4 cup water
olive oil
1 cup bran flakes, can include raisins (cereal)

Preparation

Take all dry ingredients plus garlic and mix together.
Rub over roast.
Crush cereal in bag and then pat/push onto roast or roll roast in cereal.
Put in 9 x 13 roasting pan that has a drizzle of olive oil to help prevent sticking.
** Add wine and water to pan for roast at this point.
Cover with tin foil tent style.
Bake in oven 1 1/2 hrs-2 hrs (depends on oven) at 350\u00b0F.
(Take tin foil off last 15 minutes to make a crusty coating).
Slice in 1\" slices.
Use drippings to drizzle over meat.
This makes a very rich au jus sauce.
(I have also used drippings to make a gravy. Take drippings, add hot water and flour, whisk together and reheat on stove to thicken).
