    Yes, 12 bay leaves.  We are actually going to taste a hint of bay in this roast and it's quite lovely. You can use either fresh or dried.

 Ingredients:

• 1 pork loin roast, 32oz (960gr)

 Instructions:

• In heavy pot or oven with tight-fitting lid, brown pork in olive oil. 
• After turning pork, add sliced onions to brown as well. 
• Add remaining ingredients, turn heat to low, cover and braise for 1 1/2 hours.
