Pork Roast Dijon
Let's roast something different today. How about a succulent pork loin roast? A pork sirloin roast will also do nicely for this recipe. Prep time is minimal, so it is in the oven before you know it.
Servings: 6 people
Equipment
- Roasting pan
- Electric blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 2-3 pound pork loin roast
- 6 Tbsp. dijon-style or Creole mustard
- 1½ Tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1½ Tbsp. Herbes de Provence or Italian herb blend
- 1½ Tbsp. olive oil
- ½ cup broth, wine or water
Instructions
- Allow the roast to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes while you make the marinade.
- Place mustard, soy sauce, garlic and Herbes de Provence in the blender. With the machine running, gradually trickle in the olive oil.
- Coat the entire roast with this marinade.
- Place roast in the roasting pan and place in a 350°F preheated oven for 1½-2 hours.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil while deglazing the pan.
- Deglaze the pan with broth, wine or water after removing the roast to a cutting board. This will make a wonderful gravy.
Notes
*Serve with mashed or buttered potatoes, rice or noodles.
*Any vegetable may be served with this roast, or a nice tossed salad.
*This recipe is even better if you have time to marinate overnight in the seasoning paste.
