When trying to find a way to keep a center cut pork loin juicy, I took a method my aunt used on turkey - wrap it in bacon! I was afraid it might be too much - but everything tastes better with a little bacon - even pork! It turned out so well seasoned and tender that my husband and I almost ate both loins in one sitting!
Marinade:
1/4 cup lemon infused olive oil (or 1/4 regular olive oil with rind of 1/2 lemon)
1 package Goya seasoning con culantro y achiote
Pepper to taste - no salt needed because of bacon to be added later
Pork:
2 pork loins
1 package center cut bacon
Put pork in large plastic bag with marinade for at least four hours. Massage pork to distribute marinade evenly and remember to turn bag a few times in refrigerator so every side of the pork gets marinade.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and remove pork and package of bacon from refrigerator so they reach room temperature. Wrap bacon around pork so that bacon is touching but not overlapping.
Roast pork approximately 45 minutes, thickest part should reach 155 degrees.
