About

Some recipes amaze because of the complexity of their creation and flavors. And some recipes amaze because they achieve the same extravagance with a few simple ingredients and natural flavors. Rosemary Pork Roast is firmly in the second category: a tender, juicy, rosy pork loin brushed with a herbaceous and garlic-infused rub, with the lemony, peppery fragrance of rosemary elevating every bite. A little sear here, a roast there, and voila! Rosemary Pork Roast balances elegance and rustic charm, and your tastebuds will love every bite of the savory, aromatic result. This is how you impress yourself with far less stress!
