Ingredients

5 cloves garlic, crushed to a paste in a mortar or garlic press

4 tablespoons (¼ cup) minced oregano leaves or 2 teaspoons dried

1½ teaspoons thyme leaves or ¼ teaspoon dried

1 tablespoon dry white wine

1 tablespoon imported sweet paprika

1/8 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground pepper

1 tablespoon minced parsley

5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1¼ pounds lean boneless pork loin

Preparation

Combine in a bowl the Marinade ingredients. Add the meat and turn to coat on all sides. Cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours, turning occasionally.

Cut the meat in ½-inch slices, allowing some of the marinade to cling to the meat. Coat a skillet or griddle with olive oil and heat to the smoking point. Brown the meat on both sides, reduce the flame to medium, and continue cooking until the meat is just done.
