- Ready In:
- 1hr 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 boneless roast pork
- 2 fresh garlic cloves, cut in half
- seasoning salt
- garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- household string
directions
- Prepare your pork roast by rinsing under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Use a sharp knife and make 4 deep slits into the meat, 2 slits evenly on each side and push a piece of fresh garlic down deep into the meat.
- Tie your roast firmly together with household string if necessary to make sure that it holds together as it cooks and rotates.
- Move your pork roast to a working surface and season the entire roast generously with season salt, garlic powder and thyme.
- Use your hands and rub the seasonings deep into the roast over and over until you can no longer feel the grittiness of the seasoning and the thyme leaves appear to be evenly spread throughout the roast.
- Fit the pork roast snuggly onto the rotisserie rod as dead center as possible.
- Calculate the weight of your roast by at least 20 minutes per pound or when the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Carefully remove your roast from the rotisserie, of the rod and onto a serving platter.
- Let the meat stand undisturbed for 5-10 minutes and then carve the meat as usual.

This was excellent with wonderful flavor. I did use a bit more garlic (about 5 cloves), cut each clove into about 4 pieces and assaulted my roast from every possible angle with a tiny slit and piece of garlic! lol This gave the roast a wonderful garlic taste but not overpowering. I used ground thyme and added some black pepper. I also used the drippings to make gravy. Mmm-mmm good! We had this leftover in sandwiches for a few days (this was a mammoth roast from Costco) and it was so tender. I'd recommend for anyone to give this recipe a try. Thanks for posting!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
