This is yet another winner from the Shaw’s “Get Inspired” series.  I have a lot of the recipe cards from the store, many I havent tried yet, but my promise to you is to cook my way through them all, and post them for you.

Pork is often called “the other white meat”, and the pork loin is indeed a very lean piece of meat.  You will not need to whip out the diet pills if you eat it. In fact, today’s pork is so lean, you have to be careful not to dry it out when cooking.

Also, the trichinosis has pretty much been bred out of pork as well, so it is no longer necessary to cook it to death.  So that makes it all the more easier to not dry it out.

The recipe here calls for bone-in pork, but the coordinating pork product on sale was the whole boneless loin, for $1.88 a pound.  This is about two feet long, way more than you need for this dish.  But I bought it anyway, the rest can be frozen and used later for other meals.  Also, it is really hard to find a thick pork chop in the supermarket, buying a whole roast lets you cut your own chops to your own desired thickness.

Anyhoo, this came out really well, cooked according to the instructions.  I served it with rice pilaf and lima beans, which is the way Mike likes to have his pork.

Enjoy! :D
