Tuscan Pork Roast

Tuscan Pork Roast is so flavorful and incredibly delicious that you'll want to make it again and again.


The Tuscan pork roast comes out juicy and succulent and has the best flavor! It's so easy to do as well. Here are some keys to having the roast come out perfect.
  1. Use a rotisserie oven if you have one. (Although this will roast in a regular oven too.)
  2. Be sure to use all fresh herbs as the recipe calls for.
  3. Roast to a temperature of 140-142 degrees. Most roasts have a pop up timer set for 145 degrees, however I like to take my pork out earlier and let it rest well.
  4. Be sure and let it rest for at least 10 minutes so the juices circulate and don't run out when you slice it.
  • 2 3/4 lb. pork loin with a good fat cap.
To start the recipe you need to make an herb paste for the roast.
  • 6 cloves garlic (good sized bulbs)
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves (not curly parsley)
  • 2 tbsp. fresh thyme
  • 1 tbsp. fresh sage
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 2-3 tbsp. olive oil (regular or use extra virgin if that is what you prefer)
  1. Take all of the above ingredients and add them to a food processor and process into a paste for the roast.
  2. Score the top of the roast in several places.
  3. Schmear the roast all over with the herb paste.


Roasting instructions:
  1. Roast the loin to an internal temperature of 140-142°, approximately 1 hour. Use an instant read thermometer to check the internal temperature.
  2. Take your Tuscan pork roast out of the oven or rotisserie oven and let rest for at least 10 minutes.

I hope you and your family enjoy this beautiful Tuscan pork roast. Tender, juicy and flavorful. A great idea if you are having guests for dinner and you want to wow them.

Middle Earth Lentil and Kielbasa Casserole

Inspired by Tolkien's "The Trilogy" comes a dish from a dear and long time friend Kathy. It seems like only yesterday we were winding our way through the shire hanging out with Bilbo and Frodo Baggins taking a three book journey through Middle Earth. Spell bound by every page we read, Kathy and I could not wait for our next tea session to discuss the happenings, taking care that neither of us spoiled it for the other. You see Kathy had actually already read the book and me, well as usual I was one step behind and she decided to re-read it while I was reading it for the very first time. I was so excited to read it that I went to our nearest local bookstore and purchased a beautiful hard copy set that I just passed along to my youngest son. Read more »
