A whole pork loin and some rosemary, salt, pepper, and oil are all that's needed for this simple centerpiece dish. We recommend serving whole roasted apples as an accompaniment. This is one of several delicious preparations included in Kathleen Brennan's homage to rosemary, "Honored Herb" (March 2001).
