Cajun Pork Loin

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Heat butter in small fry pan over med. heat and add the herbs, spices and garlic. Cook one minute.

Using a paring knife, make several small incisions on the fat cap side of the roast. Stuff slits with the spice mix and rub the rest all over the meat. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in roasting pan over med. heat. Add roast and surround with the diced vegetables. Lightly salt & pepper the veggies.

Place in oven and cook for 2 hours. (Please remember cooking times are approximate so use a meat thermometer…nothing worse than overcooked pork.)

15 min. before the end of the cook time increase oven temp. to 425 to finish browning meat.

Remove roast from pan and let stand 10 min. before carving.

Place roasting pan over med. heat and sprinkle flour over the veggies, mix and cook for 3 min.

Incorporate the heated stock and cook for 6 min. Strain the sauce and serve with the roast.
