My family's favorite pork roast. Very flavorful. Pan drippings make excellent gravy. This recipe alone should be reason enough to grow your own fresh thyme. Ingredients:
1 lemon |
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves |
2 garlic cloves, crushed |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
2 lbs boneless pork loin roast, trimmed and tied |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F
2. Grate the zest from one lemon and combine with the thyme, salt, garlic, and pepper in a small bowl; stir in the olive oil until blended. Rub the entire surface of the pork to coat with the herb mixture.
3. Place roast top side up in a small roasting pan. Roast 30 minutes, then turn pork over, baste with pan juices and roast 30 minutes. Turn top side up; baste; roast 15 minutes or until center of roast reads 140°F
4. Remove from oven, cover loosely with foil and let stand 15 minutes. Center temperature should have risen to 150°F
5. Carefully remove strings and cut into thin slices.
6. Also good served at room temperature or cold.
