Saturday Night Dinner

Yes, the blog is called Sunday dinner...but since Im not cooking tomorrow, Im cooking tonight. Also, we tend to stay in and have a restaurant worthy meal on Saturdays.


Apparently I was inspired by the pig for tonights dinner, no surprise since we're pork people in this house.


Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin - Sage/thyme/orange zest/garlic/olive oil/salt pepper chopped up into a paste and rubbed on the top of the roast...fat trimmed off. Then 3 or 4 strips of bacon placed on top and tucked in to the sides. Roast at 400 till 160 degrees

• Tip: loosly cover the pork w/foil toward the end of cooking...it will stil brown but it covers the bacon splatter to avoid smoking in the oven

Roasted Red Potatoes - Cut in bite sized peices of potatoes with thinly sliced onion, thyme and sage, toss w/Olive Oil, S&P, roast w/pork till tender and onions are a brown

• Tip: Roast next to pork but cover for the first 20 mins to ensure that the onions dont burn

Green Beans with Almonds - Sautee w/butter, almonds, shallots till tender
