1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme, can use up to 1 tsp. according to taste

Nutrition Facts : Calories 548.6, Fat 2.8, SaturatedFat 0.6, Sodium 60, Carbohydrate 124.9, Fiber 26.7, Sugar 34.8, Protein 25.4

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy and flavorful crust, ensure the pork roast is patted dry before applying the herb rub. This helps the rub adhere better and prevents the roast from steaming.
  • For a more intense herb flavor, use fresh herbs instead of dried ones. If using dried herbs, increase the quantity by about one-third.
  • Feel free to adjust the herbs in the rub to suit your taste preferences. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, sage, and oregano.
  • Don't overcrowd the roasting pan. If the pork roast is too tightly packed, it will not cook evenly.
  • To prevent the pork from drying out, baste it with the pan juices every 30 minutes or so. You can also add a little bit of white wine or chicken broth to the pan to create a flavorful braising liquid.
  • Let the pork roast rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

Conclusion:

This herb-rubbed Tuscan pork roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy crust, tender and flavorful meat, and vibrant herb flavors, this roast is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
