I have made this pork recipe several times and it always turns out beautifully. Have paired with the apricot-glazed roasted asparagus recipe. Very simple and delicious.
Simply Roasted Pork
Randy Mayor; Jan Gautro
Use apple jelly in place of the apricot preserves for a slightly sweeter flavor. This pork makes a quick transition from warm Sunday dinner to cool Monday lunch without compromising flavor. Serve with roasted red skin potatoes or mashed potatoes, broccoli spears or collard greens, and warm dinner rolls.
This recipe goes with Horseradish and Caramelized Onion Pork Sandwiches, Pork and Peanut Noodle Salad, Pork and Grilled Stone Fruit Couscous Salad, Chipotle Pork and Avocado Wrap, Pork Tabbouleh, Sourdough Pork Sandwiches with Parsley-Pesto Mayonnaise, Pork and Grilled Vegetable Salad, Thai Pork Salad with Chili Dressing, Spicy Pork, Turkey, and Swiss Cubano Roll
Yield: 14 servings (serving size: about 3 ounces)
