Simply Roasted Pork
Why I Love This Recipe
This makes an amazing roast...extremely flavorful and juicy. Recipe is from Cooking Light. I used the meat in making my beef egg roll wraps (as a substitute for the beef) and the arugula, pesto and red pepper sandwiches that I will post next. I froze most of it. Will most likely make some tex mex avocado wraps with it next.
