  1. It was absolute torture waiting for this pork tenderloin to finish cooking. The aroma that filled the house was fantastic and I knew this was going to be good. I wasn't disappointed! Moist and tender with just the right mix of spices. I could go on and on about this tenderloin...it was that good. I served this with mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, mustard, and yeast rolls. I know this is one recipe I'll make often. Thanks Inez for posting this wonderful recipe!
     
  2. This tenderloin came out so yummy and juicy. Although everyone complained about the "pineneedles" (rosemary) I loved it. I also like Rosemary a lot. Instead of letting it sit for the ten minutes it suggested, the rest of dinner was running late and I had to have it sit covered on the counter for nearly 40 minutes, yet it still was juicy and wonderful tasting.
     
  3. I certainly agree - the kitchen smelled heavenly, the roast was moist, tender & very tasty. Since I don't like the rosemary prickles, I substituted with 1/4 tsp of sage. I'm going to make this for my next dinner party!
     
  4. I made this for my family and they loved it. I loved the flavor so much. The way the herbs melded with the pork was perfect. The rub smelt good enough it eat by its self. My whole house was covered with the smell of this dish. My kids are really hard to please but they were very pleased by this.
     
  5. It definitely did smell amazing!! And it was sooo good!! I made it with potatoes and left a little bit of the spice mix and added some green peppers and snow pea shoots and sauted then as a veggie side dish. It was absolutely wonderful and easy to make considering I am definitely an amatuer.

  1. Delicious recipe. I made two 1 lb tenderloins and doubled the spices for the rub. Check the pork at 30 or 35 minutes and take temp. 150-160 degrees is desired. I used some onion powder instead of fresh onions and I think it turned out wonderful. Will definitely make again!
     
  2. If I could give yo 10 stars I would. We eat alot of pork and I had just tried another recipe a few days ago, but yours was better. It had similiar flavors (rosemary & Thyme) I used a 3-1/2 lb Loin of Pork instead of the tenderloins and let it marinade in frdge for 2 hours. I cooked on 500 for 15 minutes then knocked the temp down to 350 and cooked for 1 hour (till it reached 160 on the meat thermometer)..While the roast was cooking I cut up a bunch of Yukon gold potatoes and tossed with garlic flavored Olive Oil, rosemary & Thyme. I put them in when I turned the temp down to 350. Delicious. Thanks so much for a wonderful, easy recipe! Italianmomof2
     
  3. Wonderful pork dish. The rub was plenty to cover my 2 pork tenderloins. As I have 2 teenage boys I always have to cook plenty for our family of 4. I substituted lemon pepper in equal amount for the pepper. The aroma was amazing and it took no time to prepare after work. I served it with a rice pilaf and it was enjoyed by all. Thanks MizzNezz.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!! I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch. We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
