Bacon Wrapped Pork Roast

I saw this recipe and just had to try it!  How do you go wrong with bacon wrapped - anything?!  It turned out really nice and moist!  It's not my favorite pork roast (unbelievably) but I would make it again.  I served it  with my stuffed red bliss potatoes and broccolini.

Our dinner

Ingredients:
1 pork loin (1-1/2 lbs)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp finely chopped rosemary
1/4 lb bacon thinly sliced
1 cup white wine
Salt & Pepper, to taste

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Pat roast dry with paper towels
Season pork with salt & pepper
Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat & sear pork on all sides
Rub pork with rosemary and wrap with bacon, overlapping pieces slightly.  Tie pork with kitchen string
Roast in oven, basting occasionally with cooking juices, until internal temp reaches 145 degrees, approximately 35-40 minutes.  Remove from oven and place on serving dish
Place roasting pan on stove top over low heat and add the wine.  Deglaze the pan by scraping bits of pork off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon
Pour through a fine mesh sieve into a small sauce pan & skim off any fat.
Drizzle sauce over pork & serve.
