If you’re ever in need for a flavorful dinner but are stuck in a rut, rosemary and garlic are two flavors that can boost up practically anything from fish (try rosemary and garlic roasted salmon), to meats, and even vegetables.

============================================================
Start by combining rosemary, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Evenly spread over a 4-pound pork loin. I like to use a heritage pork loin or pasture-raised pork as I think the flavor is better. Also, they tend to be more responsibly raised than a commercial pig but that’s just my preference. Place the loin in a roasting pan or baking dish with or without a rack.
Place in a 475°F oven for 30 minutes then reduce the heat to 425°F and roast for an additional hour, until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 155°F. Allow to rest on a carving board for 10 minutes before carving.
Serve and devour the luscious goodness that is rosemary and garlic! Israeli couscous (10 minute cook time) and a simple salad, pictured above.
