Simple Roast Pork


Roasted meats are generally not too difficult to prepare texture and flavour are mostly dependant on what cut of meat you can get. I made this whilst living in Japan using a rather small microwave oven with a convection oven mode.

Preparation time 2h
Serves 4-5
Ingredients
350g skinless pork loin (ロースin Japanese generally refers to the loin on any meat, good for roast)
Finely chopped Herbs and spices (parsley, basil, black pepper, salt) experiment don't be shy
Onions

Place Herbs and spices in a large bowl and rub into the meat until the entire loin is covered. Next sear the entire loin on a very hot frying pan, this will lock in the moisture during roasting. Place sliced onions on the bottom of a roasting dish, This will add further flavour to the meat and provide a rich liquor to make a sauce from. Place the Loin on the Onions and cover with tin foil. Heat at 180C (350F) For 90min after which remove the foil and allow the meat to rest for about 5min before slicing and serving. 


My favourite part of making roast pork is dealing with the leftovers the next day. Roast pork sandwiches, with the pork reheated in the roasting liquor or liquefied sauce from the previous day.

Enjoy
