The perfect combination of tangy and savory, this Balsamic Rosemary Pork Loin is marinated and roasted to juicy perfection, then served alongside crispy roasted potatoes. The balsamic vinegar adds a rich depth of flavor, while the rosemary brings an aromatic touch to this easy yet elegant dish.
2 1/2 lb Swift New York (top loin) Pork Roast (boneless)
1 1/2 C fresh rosemary
12 cloves garlic
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
2 1/2 lb small red potatoes (cut into 1/2-inch wedges)
Cooking Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F
In a food processor, combine rosemary leaves, garlic, oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper and pulse to make a coarse, wet paste, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Spread 3/4 of paste on all sides of roast. Place roast, fat side up, in shallow roasting pan large enough to hold roast with 3 inches room around all sides. Roast 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine potatoes and remaining paste.
Reduce oven to 350°F. Add potato mixture to pan, arranging potatoes around roast. Continue roasting 40-45 minutes, tossing potatoes halfway through, or until internal temperature of roast reaches 145 degrees F and potatoes are tender. (If roast is done before potatoes, transfer it to a cutting board and return roasting pan with potatoes to oven.)
Remove roast from oven and let rest 10 minutes. Slice roast and arrange on platter. Surround with potatoes and serve.
