Prosciutto Wrapped Pork

"This is an improvised "Martha Stewart" recipe using what I had on hand. Would never make it any differently now. It may sound like too much pork, but the texture and taste is buttery and sublime."

  1. This was fantastic! I had a very small roast and only 3 slices of prosciutto and wanted to try something different. Very easy and the end result is so rewarding to the tastebuds! I wanted to suck the pan gravy up with a straw.

I have two awesome boys 7 and 6 and a wonderful husband of 15 years. I have been cooking since the age of 10 when I became a latch-key kid with my 6 year old little sis. I cooked Friday nights when my single mom closed the bank and my favorite recipes were broiled fish, oven BBQ chicken and tuna salad! Cooking was fun then and it is even better now cooking with my boys or anyone else I can employ in the kitchen with me!!
