Today I made a recipe from the Dinner Impossible Guy, Robert Irving. I had an extra 3 lb. pork loin in the fridge and needed to use it. I have another one in the fridge as well (5lb.) waiting for Christmas dinner. Actually had the butcher cut it in half as it was a whopping 8 pounder to begin with. So, my daughter suggest that instead of freezing the smaller one, just use it today for dinner. I like her idea and looked up a simple recipe with most ingredients on hand (had to go buy a red onion). We were ready to cook. It turned out nicely. The roast was done a little early, only needed to cook about 70 minutes or so in a dutch oven. I actually might even post a comment as poor Mr. Irving doesn't have any comments on this recipe.
The roast turned out very tender and juicy. The red onion/ketchup marmalade was nice and slightly crunchy even though the onions were cooked slowly 50 minutes, to a point of carmelization. The meal is very mild in flavor, but with a nice tangy sweetness from the marmalade. I served it with cheesy mashed potatoes and mixed green salad. I used a favorite dressing of mine for the salad, Toby's Jalapeño Ranch (Eugene, Or.) which has enough of a bite to it that is fun and flavorful.
I might even use this recipe for the larger roast in the fridge. IMHO, it is good enough for a Christmas roast.

Happy roasting :-D
