This recipe gave me an excellent base on which to cook a pork loin. I used a 2lb joint and cooked it for about an hour together with the parboiled potatoes. I also added some minced fresh garlic and carrots, but didn't parboil the carrots, simply kept them fairly large and added them to the pan when I started cooking the pork. I also used Italian seasoning as I didn't have any thyme. Yummy - thank you. -
Very simple and tasty pork dish! I made this for a group of friends that don't normally eat pork and they all said it was delicious! Thanks for sharing! -
This was very good and will definately make again. My family enjoyed it a lot. Thank you for sharing! -
This was very tasty altough I overcooked my pork which is my fault because I used 4 pork loin thick chops instead of a 4# pork loin roast because that was what I had in my fridge that I needed to use up. I also did not have any chives but it still tasted wonderful. Since I was using maybe a pound at most of meat I kept checking the chops with my thermometer to see if it was ready although I think my meat thermometer is broken because the needle never made it over 140. Even so, the flavor was wonderful and the house filled with such an aromatic smell that my mouth was watering before it came out. I will make this again next time using the actual roast. The potatoes were out of this world and I ate them as leftovers for three days. Thank you for such a flavorful treat!! -
Quick and easy recipe for pork loin. I added the potatoes at the 40 mins mark. The instructions were a little confusing. Pork loin took exactly 50 mins. I double checked the tempature to ensure it was over 160 degrees. Texture was light and moist. Thank you for the posting SSB.
