Thursday June 24, 2010 Garlic Rosemary and Lime Roasted Pork

Dinner tonight;
Roasted Garlic Rosemary and Lime Roasted Pork, Jasmine Rice cooked in chicken broth and Broccoli roasted with fresh ginger and garlic.

This was a very tasty meal, I have made this meal many times! I cooked the pork for 4 hours at 350 degrees. I cut slits in the pork and put slivers of garlic in the slits. I made a paste of onion, 5 cloves of garlic, parsley, rosemary, thyme, lime, lemon, salt, pepper, white wine, vinegar and olive oil. I rubbed it all over the pork. I put the Boston Butt on a double foiled lined cookie sheet and I then covered it with foil very tightly. How I made the Broccoli I washed and chopped the broccoli, put on a foil wrapped cookie sheet. I minced 1 garlic clove and about 1 tsp. of fresh ginger about one to two tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a few shakes of sea salt and lots of cracked pepper mix all together coat the broccoli, then lay it flat on cookie sheet bake at 400 degrees on middle rack in oven for about 15 minutes until tender. How I made the rice; 1 cup Jasmin Rice, 1 and 3/4 cup of chicken broth. Bring the broth to a boil add rice, 1/2 tsp Sea Salt and 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Cook 1 minute, cover reduce heat to low, cook for 15 to 20 minutes until tender.
