Roast Pork with Artichoke mustard Sauce

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Place the pork loin in a shallow roasting pan. Rub the roast with 1/2 cup white wine. With the tip of a sharp knife,, cut slits in the roast and insert the garlic slivers in the slits. Work the seasonings into the meat. Set the loin in the oven. Roast for 2 hours and 15 minutes or 45 minutes per pound. Baste the pork every 20 to 30 minutes with the pan juices. After 1 hour of roasting time, make a loose foil tent and cover the meat for the remainder of the cooking time. It may be necessary to add an additional 1/2 to 1 cup of wine at this time, if the pan juices have dried up. When the roast is done, transfer the loin to a platter, and let sit for 10 minutes. Carve into 3/4-inch thick slices, pour the pan juices over all, and serve with the artichoke-mustard sauce covering the slices. Pass the extra sauce alongside in a gravy boat. 6 portions Artichoke-Mustard Sauce 1/4 cup Dijon mustard 6 tablespoons boiling water 3/4 cup olive oil freshly ground pepper to taste 2 teaspoons lemon juice 14 ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped Place the mustard in a bowl.
