- In a 13" x 10" x 1" baking pan, stir together the anise seed, fennel, caraway and dill seed. Roll pork roast in seeds to coat evenly. Wrap meat in foil; refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325° F and remove foil. Place meat fat side up on the rack in an open shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so the tip is in the center of the thickest part.
- Roast pork loin in baking pan for 35–40 minutes per pound. Meat thermometer should register 145° F when roast is done. Let rest 3 minutes. Slice to serve.
