Porchetta & Roasted Veggies

Now, I can’t take full credit for this recipe, as much as I would love to…I was watching Chef Anne Burrel’s show Secrets Of A Restaurant Chef and absolutely had to try-out this recipe. It’s a rustic Italian pork roast that is full of flavor…and you get your side dish of veggies done at the same time! Let me just say that I can’t even tell you just how thrilled I was with it. (even though I made a few modifications to the original recipe)

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

My husband & I love pulled pork sandwiches. Unfortunately we are about 9 hours away from our favorite barbecue joint, Sweet Lumpy's BBQ located in Temecula, California. SO I came up with this recipe for a hassle-free version of a pulled pork sandwich. Smother it in some of Sweet Lumpy’s Bar-B-Que Sauce and we have a hit!

I start by preheating my oven to 250°F. This pork needs to cook nice and slow in the beginning, and then the heat gets turned up a bit for the last hour of cooking.

Now I know that traditionally pulled pork starts with a nice chunk of pork shoulder, but the idea here was to make a hassle-free version that could deliver flavor as well as not make the “pulled” part so time consuming. So when I’m out looking for my meat, I go for the pork loins. They are so easy to cook and have a relatively low fat content, so there is virtually no trimming needed.
