| 1. Put 1/2 cup rosemary leaves, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, 5 garlic cloves, 8 sage leaves and 1 teaspoon of salt into a food processor bowl. | 2. Process until you have a fairly smooth paste. | 3. Lay out the pork loin fat side down. | 4. Cut along the top side of the"tail" and into the eye of the roast. | 5. Continue cutting in a sawing motion, unrolling the loin into a rectangle of more or less even thickness. | 6. Spread the entire top surface of the pork evenly with the herb paste. | 7. Starting with the side opposite the tail, roll the roast into a compact roll with a spiral of herb filling running through it. | 8. Tie the roast at 1-inch intervals with kitchen twine. | 9. Season generously with salt and pepper. | 10. Set the meat into a round 5-quart casserole dish. | 11. Add the remaining rosemary sprigs, sage leaves, garlic and bay leaf. | 12. Pour in just enough water to cover the meat. | 13. Season the water lightly with salt and pepper. | 14. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook, turning the meat occasionally, until almost all of the water has evaporated and the meat begins to stick to the casserole, about 2 hours. | 15. Skim any foam off of the surface as needed. | 16. Pour off the fat remaining in the braising pan and pour in the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil. | 17. Adjust the heat to very low. | 18. Cook, turning often, until the pork has a caramelized golden brown crust, 15 to 30 minutes. | 19. Let the meat rest for 20 minutes and then slice into 1/4" thick slices. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
