This is an easy way to infuse the pork with garlic. Thinly slice the garlic horizontally. Use a thin boning knife to make 1-inch-deep slits in the roast.

While elephant garlic is quite large, it actually has less garlic flavor than the smaller varieties. The smaller cloves are much more pungent.

Very good. I had a 5lb pork loin, so I just doubled the recipe and it still cooked in 2 hours! Amazing! My husband and I LOVE garlic, so next time I might try it with some elephant garlic to amp up the flavor even more.

Very easy, good flavor combination. I had a bone-in roast, so I just scored the top surface and rubbed all the seasonings on. Will keep this handy for future use.
