I grow sweet onions and garlic, so they're always on hand when I want to make this roast. I first fixed the recipe for a church retreat, and it was a big hit. Since then, I've prepared it for large groups and family dinners over the years. -Joseph Obbie, Webster, New York Ingredients:
2 whole garlic bulbs |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 boneless pork loin roast (4 to 5 pounds) |
6 medium red potatoes, quartered |
3 cups baby carrots |
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced |
1-1/2 cups water |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut top off garlic heads, leaving root end intact. Brush with oil; sprinkle with basil and oregano. Wrap each bulb in heavy-duty foil. Bake at 425° for 30-35 minutes or until softened. Cool for 10-15 minutes. Squeeze softened garlic into a small bowl. Add lemon juice; mix well. Rub over the roast.
2. Place roast in a shallow roasting pan. Arrange potatoes, carrots and onion around roast. Pour water into the pan. Sprinkle meat and vegetables with salt and pepper. Cover and bake at 350° for 1-1/2 hours. Uncover; bake 1-1/2 hours longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160°, basting often. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Yield: 10-12 servings.
