This mouth watering Italian recipe not only tastes good but also has a lovely aroma.
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a woody perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region with a strong fragrance. The fresh and dried leaves are used frequently in traditional Mediterranean cuisine as an herb; they have a bitter, astringent taste, which complements a wide variety of foods. Rosemary is extremely high in iron, calcium, and Vitamin B6.
Ingredients:
2 to 3 pound pork loin meat.
1 large onion
1 tsp of dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 pound of small red potatoes sliced into halves.
2 or 3 cloves of finely chopped garlic
2 tsp of freshly ground rosemary
1/2 cup of dry white wine
Cooking Method:
Rub the pork roast with garlic, thyme, oregano and 1 teaspoon of the ground rosemary.
Drizzle some of the olive oil on the roast and rub to coat.
Place pork into a roasting pan with a rack at the bottom.
Place potatoes around the roast and sprinkle with the remaining rosemary.
Add onions and remaining olive oil.
Add salt, pepper and white wine.
Place in 350 degree oven covered for about 45 minutes.
Uncover and roast for about another 30 minutes.
Slice and serve with a nice side of steamed broccoli or cauliflower.
