Tender and full of flavor, this lovely roast is an impressive main dish for a Christmas dinner or any special occasion. The aroma as the roast is baking, enhanced by rosemary and garlic, is mouthwatering. While it is in the oven I decorate my dining room table.—

Ingredients

  • 1 cup thinly sliced / chopped green onions

  • 8 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed

I've been making this for years. It is great and is the most flavorful pork roast that I have ever made!

This pork roast is absolutely wonderful! The flavor is amazing. I did find that it's easy to overcook this, so pay attention to that meat thermometer. I've made this for Christmas dinner for the past several years, and everyone always enjoys it.

We made this rosemary pork roast for a family gathering and it was an amazing hit. People couldn't get over the flavour! It was worth every bite.
