Porketta with cheesy Sour Cream potatoes as a side!

Any day or for a special occasion this is a popular post.
Summer, winter, spring or fall this will be a hit.  These two are great additions to any party or family meal.

  My hubby asked for some porketta today!  The recipe I have posted on the blog for a larger size piece of pork..

Today I was seasoning a small 1 lb. pork tenderloin so I adjusted my seasonings accordingly...

I lb. pork tenderloin
1 1/2 tsp.. Salt
1 1/2 tsp. Pepper
2 T. Dried dill
2 Cloves garlic cut in pieces

On a sheet of waxed paper or a large dish place all ingredients except garlic.

Place tenderloin on wax paper. With a sharp knife make several slits in tenderloin. Push garlic pieces in slits. Roll tenderloin in mixture until coated.  

In a roasting pan place a small amount of olive oil.  Lay tenderloin in pan.  Set oven to 400 degrees.  Cover and bake approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.  Add a little water after 15 minutes.

Bake until no longer pink inside.

Note: for larger roasts adjust time and amount of seasonings.



In case you are looking for the recipe for the larger size Look under the Label section under pork.
