The little 1 kg or 2 lb pork roasts I find here are perfect when you are not feeding a crowd, but still want to feed 4-6 or 2 with leftovers for sandwiches. I bought 3 of these when they were on sale. I think this is the last one but who knows?
Also in the freezer was a large bag of grilled vegetables found at my favorite frozen food store, Picard’s. I sauteed them with a little fresh thyme and olive oil to accompany the buttered pasta. Jade will be so pleased!
Herb and Garlic Crusted Pork Roast
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp each, fresh rosemary and thyme leaves
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
A 2 lb rolled pork roast
2 onions, quartered
Season the roast with salt and pepper. Make a paste with the herbs, garlic, oil and mustard, then spread all over the roast.
Place the quartered onions in the bottom of a roasting pan and top them with the pork. Roast at 400 F for 30 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350 F and continue to roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

You always do a wonderful job with pork roast! Just beautiful!
Thank you Tessa.
Very nice pics. Good work.
Thank you very much Roger 🙂
Very nice – (nearly) anything flavoured with garlic suits me 😉
I’m with you Mad!
The meat on your pork roast looks like it is as tender as butter. You are making my mouth water.
Thank you Connie. I’m always reaching for that cooked but juicy and not dry in a roast pork.
Beautiful… I think Jade will be more than pleased, what a lovely dish to sit down to, beautiful to look at and scrumptious to eat!
Thank you Smidge. Jade is always so appreciative of my efforts 🙂
This is a lovely sunday dinner idea:] I am pinning it!
Thank you filing. This Sunday is Mother’s Day! Hope my son remembers 🙂
What a wonderful joint of pork, Rosemary!
Thank you Frugal.
OK, just once you should post a dish that’s kind of ugly. Then we could all go back to normal. Alright, I know you don’t make those. This is beautiful as always.
Thanks Greg. I do have a lot of ugly pictures, I just don’t post them. What would Roger think? 🙂
Definitely coming back for this one when i get a few pork roasts in my own freezer!! c
Leave that red pig alone!
Looks great! And I love all the flavors in the crust: Dijon, thyme, rosemary, garlic. Very wonderful combination!
Thank you Daisy. It’s so nice to have those pots of fresh herbs and fresh garlic bulbs.

Thank you baobab. Love your name!
I agree Rosemary, that size if perfect. A nice meal and then a pork sandwich the next day. Yours looks beautifully cooked.
