I love pork…all kinds. Pork chops, (thick cut) pork tenderloin, pork to make gyros, ground pork in my meatballs and many others. I seldom make a pork roast but I was watching a local cooking show where the chef was coating the pork roast in lemon zest, rosemary, thyme and garlic, added some olive oil and then rubbed in on the pork roast. I thought perhaps the lemon might be a bit strong so I made the same recipe but I added orange zest instead and I didm;t have fresh thyme so I used sage instead.
