Main Ingredients
- 2 ½ pound boneless pork loin roast
- 1 ½ cups fresh rosemary
- 12 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 ½ pounds small red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine rosemary leaves, garlic, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and pulse to make a coarse, wet paste, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Spread 3/4 of paste on all sides of roast.
Step 3
Place roast, fat side up, in shallow roasting pan large enough to hold roast with 3 inches room around all sides. Roast 15 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine potatoes and remaining paste.
Step 5
Reduce oven to 350°.
Step 6
Add potato mixture to pan, arranging potatoes around roast. Continue roasting 40-45 minutes, tossing potatoes halfway through, or until internal temperature of roast reaches 145° and potatoes are tender. (If roast is done before potatoes, transfer it to a cutting board and return-roasting pan with potatoes to oven.)
Step 7
Remove roast from oven and let rest 10 minutes. Slice roast and arrange on platter. Surround with potatoes and serve.
All recipe ingredients should be cooked to a safe internal temperature according to USDA guidelines. After preparing a recipe, please store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
