LET’S ROAST
With winter creeping up on us, we decided to treat ourselves to a Roast Box. Eventually the Honey Glazed Loin Roast made its way to the top of the freezer and it was ready time to get roasting. What a delicious piece of pork it is! Perfect for a cold winters evening, family dinner and even a Sunday lunch. Paired with some old fashion mashed carrots and potatoes – “Ouma se kos “– and some sauteed baby marrows.
This is how we did it.
The Loin Roast:
- Preheat the oven at 250 degrees.
- Remove the roast from its packaging.
- Layer the over dish with some foil – to make sure the roast stays juicy.
- Put the roast in the over dish and pat dry any excess moisture from its skin.
- Cover the roast with the foil in the oven dish and put in the oven for half an hour.
- After half an hour, uncover the roast and turn down the oven to 180 degrees.
- Cook the roast for a further 40min.
- Switch the setting on your oven to grill for about 20min to get the skin nice and crispy – Crackling is King!
- Once the cooking is done, take out of the oven and let the roast rest for about 10min.
- Once rested, cut up and enjoy!
Mashed carrots and potatoes:
- Cut up a few carrots, potatoes and one onion.
- Put a pot with water in it on the stove and get the water boiling – we boiled a kettle of water and added this to the pot to cut the process shorter.
- Add your cut up veggies, yes, all of it.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Boil until the carrots and potatoes are nice and soft.
- Once ready, strain out the excess water.
- Get your mashers and start mashing everything together in the pot.
- Voila! Ouma se kos!
Sauteed baby marrows:
- Cut up as many baby marrows as you need into julienne pieces.
- Get some butter in your pan.
- Add your baby marrows to the pan.
- Add salt, pepper, and a little bit of garlic spice.
- For a nice little kick, we added some lemon juice as well.
- Once al dente, take off the heat.
With everything ready, all you have to do is dish up and enjoy!
