Who is roasting a pork loin for New Years Day? [View all]

[FarPoint]

I am doing such an adventure. I roast it with rinsed, fresh sauerkraut, lots of onions, Yukon Gold potatoes and polish kielbasa.

The kielbasa is a Christmas gift from a coworker....it's from the Cleveland West End Market...6 pounds! It is homemade, garlicky and fresh. I even have some extra garlic kielbasa she gave me and I will save for another day when I make pirogies in the very near future.


I brined the pork loin in an apple cider-herbed solution over night. I'm getting ready to cook thing here real soon.

I season the pork with tiny slivers of garlic where I poke sporadically into the meat throughout...then salt, pepper and sear in a cast iron skillet. I then use a V-rack to sit the roast in...surrounded by lots of onions, the kraut which is sprinkled with brown sugars and the potatoes. The last 30 minutes I add the kielbasa. Some of it is sliced in half laying on top of the pork to add juiciness to the pork.

Tell me about your plans.........
