  1. Sensational! I made my own herbs de provence using fennel, savory, oregano, marjoram, thyme, lavender, rosemary, tarragon, and sage. This gave the meat and incredible flavor that had me just about licking my plate. DBF went back for thirds! I left my rubbed meat in the fridge over night and it was a snap to throw dinner together the next day. Merci! I'll be making this one again, and again! Made for ZWT 5 by an Epicurean Queen.
     
  2. Mmmm this was so good! I loved the herbs. Great flavored piece of meat!
     
  3. This is a fantastic recipe! I was having a friend over for dinner and needed something that would be quick to prepare, yet suitable for company. This could not have fit the bill better. The recipe requires very little prep, with no chopping required. Yet, after marinating and roasting (I marinated mine about 2.5 hours), the meat comes out moist and flavorful. Everyone loved it! I made no modifications to the recipe and served with Recipe #154424 154424 and green beans as sides, which were really nice. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for posting!
     
  4. Holy smokes was this ever tasty!! The recipe was a snap to prepare, too. Superb flavor! I didn't read ahead about chilling for 2-4 hours (oops) so the rub was on the tenderloins for about 30 min. at room temp. Even with my goof, it was FABULOUS. The flavor combination of herbes de provence and ground coriander was simply delicious....add a tiny bit of sweetness (not too much) from the brown sugar and mmmmmmmmm. The temp./cooking directions were spot on - the pork was perfectly done without being dry. ~I made this because cookiedog had it in her best of 2009 cookbook at the Top Favorites of 2009 Cookbook Tag Game~ This will now be placed in my best of 2010 cookbook. P.S. It was lovely served atop of couscous with steamed broccoli on the side. :)
     
  5. The flavor of this is phenominal. It was easy, and tasted like I had slaved over it. I did apply the herb crust the night before I served it. I left it in the fridge over night, and popped it in the oven when I got home from work. It took longer to cook than I expected, but maybe my hunk of meat was bigger than I thought. I also didn't have coriander, so I left it out. Thanks, this is a great recipe.
