While that sounds delicious doing the whole bacon/twine thing sounds too complicated for me. :( I'm not that fancy.

Its not hard.  I don't even think you'd need the twine.  You can also omit the whole bacon step.

Yeah.  The rub is awesome on its own.  I put the bacon though.

Maybe I'll give it a shot. I don't even know where to buy kitchen twine. :lol:

I have a pork roast. I don't know what to do with it. Help.

Does your oven come with a probe?  If so, this is what I do and the roast is always juicy and delicious:  Stick the probe into the roast and set the thermostat to 155*.  Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper and bake at 350*.  When the roast reaches 155*, remove it from the oven, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 20 minutes.  Slice and serve with the sauce of your desire.

I have a probe thermometer. :2smiley: I'm not sure what the sauce of my desire would be though. I'm extremely unfamiliar with pork roast. I think I've made one in my entire life.

But it has cilantro.  :2upset:

I found this recipe that sounds good. I'm thinking it might be really really sweet though.

[/quote]Cilantro is great!

I don't think that would be too sweet since you have vinegar, soy sauce, and other spices.

I'm still contemplating the one Ang suggested. However, if I get lazy, I'll probably do the other one because it seems easier.

It's not difficult.  I could've sent you the recipe for the most delicious pork roast ever, but it is the biggest pain in the ass in the world.

Ang, I have to purchase some bacon, then proceed to wrap a pork roast in it, then tie it together with some kitchen twine, which I don't have even know where I can purchase. Haaaard.

Holy fucked up sentence. Apparently I'm so concerned about the twine I can't even formulate an entire thought. :lol:

C'mon.   There is no way that is true.  

ETA:  The "biggest pain in the ass" part, not the "it's not difficult" part.  My bad!

So I got lazy and just threw the pork loin in my cast iron dutch oven with some potatoes, carrots, chicken stock and wine. Unfortunately it took the carrots and potatoes a lot longer to cook than the pork loin so it ended up being dried out. I ate it anyway though and made my bf eat it too. :lol:

I know she uses dried chiles but I'm not sure what kind(s). We don't have a problem just getting them at the regular grocery store here though. We're fancy.
