Onions and apples meld perfectly to make a sweet and savory treatment for pork roast. Serve it with the accompanying sour cream sauce. Ingredients:
1 boneless whole pork loin roast (3 to 4 pounds) |
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
6 fresh sage leaves |
3 fresh rosemary sprigs |
3 fresh thyme sprigs |
3 large tart apples, cut into wedges |
2 medium onions, cut into chunks |
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
1-2/3 cups sparkling apple cider, divided |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1/4 cup sour cream |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place roast in a shallow roasting pan; rub with garlic halves and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with herbs. Arrange apples, onions and sliced garlic around roast; dot with butter. Combine 1 cup cider and soy sauce; pour over top.
2. Bake, uncovered, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°), basting occasionally with pan juices. Remove the roast, apples and onions to a serving platter; keep warm. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
3. Meanwhile, skim fat from pan juices; transfer juices to a small saucepan. Add remaining cider. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat; whisk in sour cream until smooth. Serve with pork. Yield: 8 servings (1 cup sauce).
