💡Tips
Roast Pork Tenderloin gats a little dry but slices nicely. Roast Pork sirloin is good and less expensive. The most succulent cut is the shoulder end of the loin.
Pork roast has a much better flavor if, 1 or 2 hours before cooking, you rub it with crushed Garlic and let it marinate with dry white Wine, Thyme sprigs, Bay Leaf, Rosemary, Sage, Salt and Pepper. For a special occasion, you could add a little Cognac to the marinade.
