1. Complete Pork Loin Roast Dinner
A tender, flavorful pork loin roast makes a delicious dinner. There
was no need to cut the pork loin with a knife, it came apart with a
fork!! You can also use a different type of meat if you would prefer
beef or even turkey. We also made mashed potatoes, dinner rolls,
green beans and an apple crumb pie for a completely filling dinner.
This would be great for the holidays. Made for a bigger meal than I
had planned, but we had left overs and it was delicious.
Parmesan Honey Pork Roast in an Enamel Cast Iron Oval Dutch Oven
1 boneless whole pork loin roast, turkey breast or
beef roast (4 pounds)
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons dried basil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
Directions:
Cut roast in half. Place in dutch oven. In a small bowl, combine the cheese, honey, soy sauce, basil, garlic, oil
and salt; pour over pork. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1-2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160
degrees.
Remove meat to a serving platter; keep warm. Skim fat from cooking juices; transfer to a small saucepan.
Bring liquid to a boil. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook
and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Slice roast; serve with gravy.
Dinner Rolls or Bread
3 cups flour (or more)
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon instant yeast
Put the above ingredients in bowl and mix together.
1 1/2 cups very warm water
2 Tablespoons oil
1 egg
Whip these 3 ingredients together and add to the bowl of dry
ingredients. Mix and knead with a little more flour. Knead until
very smooth and elastic, you will have to experiment and
practice with it. Raise in a covered oiled bowl in a warm place.
Once dough has doubled in size, punch down and shape for a
loaf or balls for rolls. Raise again and bake at 400 degrees until
brown and the rolls or bread sound hollow if tapped on the
top.
