Herb and Garlic Roast Pork

I have made this recipe umpteen times before and it's one of my favourites... it's quick, easy and even great for last minute company! It makes the kitchen smell amazing while it's cooking and tastes fabulous! What more could you ask for?

Herb and Garlic Pork Roast

6 cloves of garlic

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp marjoram

1 tsp dry mustard

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tbsp olive oil

1 x 2lb pork loin roast

Begin by pressing the garlic into a small bowl. If you don't know a garlic press or don't feel like using one that day, you can mince the garlic really fine and it works just as well.

(BTW, did you know that you can also "press" garlic by mincing, then adding some salt and mashing it with the back of your knife? Works great!)

Then add the thyme, marjoram, mustard, salt, pepper and olive oil and let hang out on the kitchen counter for a few minutes.




Trim the roast of any unwanted fat, then slather it all over - top and sides.





Roast at 325 until a thermometer reaches 175F, (or whatever temp you roast your pork to).
Slice and Enjoy with mashed potates and a veggie. Whala! Supper is complete.




(Just to prove that this recipe is that easy... I whipped it up one night when I had impromptu company - from a frozen roast none the less, in about 1 1/2 hours flat!)
