Garlic/Herb Crusted Pork Loin
I used to do my Garlic Studded / Herb Crusted Pork Roast in the oven.
Herb Crusted/Garlic Studded Pork Roast
Been awhile since I cooked one, and today I saw Jeff's Herbed Pork Loin in the newsletter, so next thing I know I'm at Costco.
A beautiful whole Pork Loin, a few pounds of Langostino tails, a Cheesecake and Mother's Day Dinner for my wife and MiL is in the bag.
Menu
Garlic/Herb Crusted, Applewood Smoked Pork Loin
Langostino Etouffee over Rice
Fresh Green Bean with Onion
Cheesecake
The Pork
Cut Loin in half, trim fat and silver skin, square it off
Score it for extra nooks and crannies to let all the garlic/herbs take hold
Salt and Onion powder, minced garlic and a Herb rubbed into scoring
Fresh Lemon Thyme, fresh Rosemary and Italian Oregano minced and combined with EVOO
Truss with twine, wrap and refigerate overnight
A garden full of fresh herbs is a wonderful thing

And lets look at the pork



Lots more pics to come, jump in and hang on, cause you know I always give a good rideRagnar Benson:

Now here is where I'm going off the reservation
I'm not adding the Langostino directly to the sauce as I've a family member coming who has a shellfish allergy.
The Langostino will be dredged in seasoned flour and fried till just golden, and then added to each plate.


Etouffee will be served over white rice.
Fresh Green Beans with Onion and Bacon
Fresh green beans with onion and bacon
Salt to taste
Sauteed in 50/50 EVOO/bacon grease

The Pork! The Swine is Truly Divine!
This really came out good.
I pulled it at 142', tented it and let it rest while I sauteed the green beans and fried the Langostino.
My MiL declared the pork the winner.
But my Wife declared the etouffee her new favorite thing I cook, she went back for seconds of it.
I noticed she grabbed another small piece of pork too Thumbs Up
