BEETROOT

ROASTED PORK LOIN

3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
salt and pepper to taste
2 pounds boneless pork loin roast
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup white wine


1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Crush garlic with rosemary, salt and pepper, making a paste. Pierce meat with a sharp knife in several places and press the garlic paste into the openings. Rub the meat with the remaining garlic mixture and olive oil.
3 Place pork loin into oven for 2 hours, turning and basting with pan liquids. After 2 hours remove roast to a platter. Heat the wine in the pan and stir to loosen browned bits of food on the bottom. Serve with pan juices.

I don't drink, so I'd swap the wine in Beetroots recipe for rootbeer.

The recipe with the apples sounds fantastic.

I pork w/ applesauce

SilviaGTO

i hate being poor. i needed rosemary, applesauce and white cooking wine.

i could only afford 2 of the three things. now i have no rosemary and i thought i had some leafy green substitute. NO i dont.. god damnit.

its gonna be garlicly.

GreenMonster

Don't tell 'em there was surposed to be other herbs in it. If he's like most guys (at least like me) he won't care or notice as long as there is pork and applesause on the table.

Just make a mental note to pick up some rosemary/thyme/etc when you get a chance. It's always good to have that stuff onhand.

I've got alot of spices (and mixes), but don't use it as often as I should.
