Gooseberry Patch Rosemary Roasted Pork Loin

mama smurf's Note:

Recipe I have used over and over. Found in the Gooseberry Patch Light & Easy recipe book.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 3 lbs boneless pork tenderloins
• 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
• 2 teaspoons dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger (I use fresh)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 garlic cloves , minced

Directions:

1. Place tenderloin in an ungreased shallow roasting pan; set aside. Crush together seasonings in a mortar and pestle (or a mini-food processor a few quick pulses). Add oil and garlic to make a paste. Spread mixture over meat; let stand at room temperature for 30-45 minutes. (I sometimes make this in the morning and put it in the fridge to marinate then take it out and let it warm up). Bake at 350 degrees for 1--1 1/2 hours. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
