Rosemary Roasted Pork Loin

"I found this recipe on Cooking.Com and it has been a keeper ever since! I love pork loin and if done right is not dry or bland. Pork loves rosemary and sage just ask any Italian! :) This is a Tuscan recipe so it is recommended that it be served with braised white beans and roasted potatoes! And uncork a Chianti!!! Sounded good to me! Jelly :)"

  1. This was the MOST FLAVORFUL pork loin EVER!!! We had pork loin for Christmas dinner this year for something different and it was DELICIOUS!!! Will definitely be making it this way again!! Thanks for a great recipe!!
     
  2. This helped my day. Oh boy, did it help my day. It was so busy, I think I lost my day. But I had enough time to get this recipe done, and throw into the oven to cook and let go. Where it went was to a succulent, tender, and very flavorful, pork loin. I followed this exactly, and am glad I did ~ cause' this is da' bomb of wonderfulness. I did have pancetta, and used this with wonderful results. Thank you so much, this saved my day! Reviewed by the farm.
     
  3. WOW! This roast was so delicious! Love how the garlic and rosemary enhances the flavor of the pork loin! I also had to use bacon instead of the pancetta as I wasn't able to find any at the local grocery store. I served it with roasted potatoes and an asparagus tart. Made for Bargain Basement tag!

Hi! Jelly here! My husband and I live on the Great Plains in the coldest state (feels like it) in the country. My husband and I farm. We grow hard red spring wheat and soy beans. I raise chickens and turkeys too! I have a love for gardening (flowers, veggies, fruits, and berries) and canning, freezing, jelly making, preserving, drying herbs, cooking and baking! These are my passions! I am an avid reader and I like to write and I collect quotes and short poems. And I have a new passion or should I say "Addiction"! ZAAR!!!!! Love you all! We have a golden retriever pup! Our baby! :) Her name is Maisy! 75 pounds!!!!Also, have nine kitties - Sarah, Sebastian, Midnight, Henry, Sam, Star, Garfield, Lilly, and Zeus! Our area is rural and we have a 45 min. drive to the nearest city. It is a long trip there and back! We try to be as green as possible and recycle. We have become very conscientious of our environment. It is our children's future. We carry our our own canvas shopping bags to the market and use a cooler that we keep in the trunk or back of the pickup. No more plastic! We love life on the farm and feel very fortunate to have had so many wonderful experiences in life. Done a lot of traveling and feel satisfied. We make and bottle our own wines. They are delicious! This year's wine is working in the carboys in the basement and should be a great batch. We picked late and they were very sweet and required very little sugar. Got the jelly made and sent some to relatives and friends! It has been a tough season this year....sigh... Soybeans and wheat are harvested and in the bins! Now we hope the market is in our favor! Christmas was quiet as we had a blizzard that immobilized the state for three days...bah humbug...it took us another three days to dig out! Okay. I've had enough snow for the winter!!!! Oy vey.... A little prayer for mankind - Dear God, Bless us all in the New Year...may we have the crops to feed everyone and full bellies, good jobs, roofs over heads and a peaceful world for everyone. This is all I ask for the New Year ahead. Amen. Always, Jelly <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w490.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/d065f045.pbw" height="300" width="400"> <img src="http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i25/bayhill/Zaar%20Icons%20and%20Greetings/gs2009jane.jpg"> <img src ="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u208/diner_photos/lazymecookathon.jpg"> <img src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Birthday%20and%20Celebration%20Images/spicesswap_amtag3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/AMpageSticker.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/i-connected-125.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/RSC%20Lucky%2013/ParticipationSticker.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg">
