Arista is a Tuscan style pork roast with pepper, rosemary, garlic and olive oil. My father taught me how to cook this roast.

I started cooking the pig with the bone-in loin roast. This is a tender and well-marbled cut with plenty of connective tissue and tasty bones for gnawing (See pictures below). Typically this roast is cut into pork chops, but a better way of cooking it is to roast it.
I make a paste of rosemary, black pepper, garlic, salt and olive oil, then slice into the meat diagonally across the grain at 1/2″ cuts. I stuff the cuts with the paste and tie it all up. 400F until 150F. Rest for 30 minutes. Slice. Gnaw bones.

My mouth is watering. But what does 400F until 150F. mean? How long did you cook it? Or did you use a thermometer?

I always use a thermometer to cook. I have an automatic one that I set the temperature and it beeps like crazy when the roast gets up to temperature. It’s a lot easier than trying to guess the timing.
