Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless centre cut pork loin

Rub

  • 1/4 cup butter (softened)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 5, 6 garlic cloves (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 1 tsp sage
  • 1 tsp thyme

Instructions 

Notes

  • I used 1 heaping tablespoon of Tchichinga Poultry Blend of sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram and black pepper in the rub mixture but if you can’t find this, use the herbs listed.
  • Toss vegetables in 2 tbsp olive oil and remaining rub mixture:
    3-4 carrots. 1 inch chunks
    2 small potatoes, chopped in 1-inch chunks
    2 onions, quartered

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450° F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the butter, oil, garlic, salt and pepper, and Poultry Blend; mix until a paste forms.
  • Pat the pork roast with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and then rub 2/3 of the seasoning mixture onto the roast, covering the top and sides.
  • Place the roast in the bottom of a large roaster.
  • Place desired vegetables around the roast. Dab the remaining seasoning mixture over the vegetables.
  • Roast in the pre-heated oven for 15 minutes, then turn the oven temperature down to 300° F.
  • Let the roast continue to roast for another 20-25 minutes per pound of meat, around 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 140° F when a meat thermometer is inserted into the middle.  
  • Remove the roast from the oven and cover it with foil. Let it rest 10 minutes (so the juices don`t run out), then slice and serve.
  • Serve with rice, apple sauce and/or gravy.
