Rolled Pork Loin with Sun Dried Tomatoes...


In our busy lives, we need to take time to eat well and enjoy our food. And, sometimes, we need to imagine we are someplace else and that tomorrow will be better than today. This dish lets you do just that.

Pork is one kind of meat that is readily available and always flavorful. A boneless pork loin is not expensive and easy to cook.

For this dish you will need: one pound (or smaller depending on guests) boneless pork loin, sun dried tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, red pesto and whatever sides you prefer. What does a boneless pork loin look like?  It looks like this...

Cut the loin in half as if preparing to make a sub sandwich. Sprinkle in dried herbs on both halves. Then lay on just one half as many slices of mozzarella cheese as you can fit and on top of the cheese as many sun dried tomatoes as you wish. Put the meat back together as a complete sandwich. Drizzle with olive oil and an additional sprinkle of dried herbs: rosemary, mint and oregano. Bake in a glass dish on 375 for 40-45 min.

Prepare a side of potatoes and one green vegetable. When the loin is done, remove from the oven and put it onto a serving plate, cut into thick slices. Next, add to the liquid in the baking dish, one tbs of red pesto paste, stir until you get a lovely sauce. If you want it creamy, add 2 tsps of heavy cream.
