the bowl occasionally, until the garlic is
minced. |

Untie the
pork roast to separate the two pork loins.
Sprinkle the pork generously with salt and
pepper. Arrange the pancetta slices on a work
surface, overlapping slightly to form a
rectangle. Spread a fourth of the garlic mixture
over the flat side of one pork loin, then top
with the remaining pork loin, flat side down, to
reform the pork roast. Using kitchen twine, tie
the pork roast to secure the loins in place.
Spread the remaining garlic mixture over the
surface of the pork and place it on top of the
pancetta. Wrap the pancetta slices around the
pork to cover as completely as possible. Place
the pork in a roasting pan. Cover and
refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24
hours. |

Preheat oven
to 450°F. Pour ¾ cup of the broth and ¾ cup of
the wine into the roasting pan. Roast the pork,
adding more broth and wine to the pan juices
every 20 minutes, until a meat thermometer
inserted into the center registers 135°F. for
medium rare (155°F. for medium), about 1 hour
and 15 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pork to a
cutting board. Tent with aluminum foil and let
stand for 10 minutes. Pour the pan drippings
into a glass measuring cup and spoon off any fat
that rises to the top. |

Using a
large sharp carving knife, cut the pork into
¼-inch slices, then serve with the pan juices. |

Quality!- would
make it again. "Perfect
for our night-before-Christmas-Eve dinner. It served 8 perfectly.
The meat was tender and juicy and very flavorful."
