Pork Loin Roast with Garlic Maple Marinade

Being a cool and rainy Sunday, it was the perfect day to crank up the oven and make a nice dinner.

I'm not a big fan of pork (except for bacon. Seriously, who doesn't love bacon?) but it was on sale this week so I decided to give it a try. I ended up with a boneless centre loin roast. Since it's a pretty lean cut, I made a marinade for it.

To make the marinade, I mixed the following in a large Ziploc freezer bag:

White Zinfandel wine (use whatever you have on hand) roughly 1/2 cup
Low Sodium Soya Sauce roughly 1/4 cup
Rice Wine Vinegar about 2-3 tbsp
Pure Maple Syrup about 2-3 tbsp
Olive Oil about 2 tbsp
Water about 1/4 cup
Good squeeze of Dijon Mustard
Good sized pinch of pepper
Garlic Power - about 2 tbps

All of the above are just a guess. I pretty much just poured whatever I thought looked right.

 
 
Place the roast in the fridge for a few hours. Flip it every hour or so. Don't worry if the whole thing isn't submerged. Take it out of the fridge an hour before you're going to cook it and allow it to warm up.

Put it in a roasting pan with the fat side up. Throw out the marinade. Do not use it! Roast in at 350 for 30 mins an lb.
 


When it's done, take it out of the oven and place it on a cutting board. Cover with foil and let it rest for 10-15 mins. Carve and eat. The leftovers make good sandwiches.



Enjoy!!
