Ingredients

2.5 lbs (1.2 kg) pork loin roast
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 sprig rosemary
1 sprig thyme
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 cups whole milk
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Score the pork skin with a sharp knife, ensuring not to cut too deeply into the meat.
In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pork roast, skin side down, and sear for 5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Flip the pork roast and add the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for another 2 minutes.
Pour the milk and broth into the skillet or roasting pan, ensuring the liquid covers the meat but not the crackling.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 3 hours. Baste the pork with the milk mixture every 30 minutes.
After the initial 30 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) to ensure even cooking.
Once the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the crackling is golden brown and crispy, remove it from the oven.
Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing it into thick slices.
Serve the Herb-Roasted Pork in Milk with Crackling with the pan drippings and your choice of sides.
