When Colin came home with a pork roast and wanted me to do something with it I was a little intimidated. The only thing we’ve ever cooked in the roasting pan is chicken breasts. However I knew that it would be easy so we just winged it and it turned out fabulous!
I loved it! and I’m not much of a pork eater.
It was juicy and succulent. I ended up making an easy gravy with the drippings (by adding flour and some seasoning) and it was yum-my!
—————————————————
Ingredients:
- 1 2lb boneless pork rib roast
- 2 Tbsp garlic salt (I get mine from the USA because I love it)
- 1 Tbsp rosemary
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 3-4 yellow or white potatoes
- half of a butternut squash
- 2 cups of baby carrots
- 1 cup of red or white wine
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 thick section of white onion
- 1 Tbsp meat spice seasoning
It was so easy to make. If you want you can use a baster to squeeze the wine and juices over the roast halfway through the cooking time. I unfortunately don’t own one, yet, so I used a spoon to do it.
I also broiled the top of the roast for a few minutes after cooking. It added a nice colour to the top. We served with the veggies and a side salad and everyone enjoyed it.
*Please note: cooking times may vary if you cover your dish – and if using red wine the veggies won’t look as “pretty” as they get dyed red*

Questions:
1. What is your favourite thing to roast??
2. Pork – yay or nay??
I used to be a nay because I hate fat on meat but this roast and our awesome bbq’d chops and Colin’s pork chop casserole sure are tasty!
I love to roast a big piece of beef in the oven. I am not a big roast pork fan. Sometimes if I over cook it taste like shoe leather all dried up!
Looks delish!
ooo I’m also not crazzzzy about pork but it’s alright some of the time! what you made looks good!
Well thanks for visiting anyway Katie
Nice blog!
I love your cool photo collage! We don’t eat a lot of meat, but have roasted beef or pork a few times– my husband would LOVE this!
I also meant to comment on your last post- in regards to potty training, L can’t do the pull up on her own yet either, but she’s also going through an “I-don’t-wanna” phase with the potty, so I’m backing off for a few months. Hoping by the time she’s really ready, she’ll also be more able to dress herself!
OK crazy question, can’t you get garlic salt there??
we can but not this brand. My sister got me hooked on it! it’s Lawry’s garlic salt and I love it!
Its sad I know but I am so so so so not into pork. Something about the grainy texture I just cant bring myself to love even though taste wise its nice esp if done well! Crazy brains eh?
not crazy at all….I hate most meats
lol
Yum! That looks fabulous. Pork is awesome as long as you don’t overcook it.
Pork is definitely a yay for me! We throw it in the crock pot and make a sweet pork, like this one http://www.chef-in-training.com/2012/03/all-your-favorite-cafe-rio-recipes-in-one-place/. And then we put it on salad with cilantro dressing. I’m dying just thinking about it’s awesomeness.
That looks and sounds awesome. This is on my to-do list for post-climb too.
