This roasted pork is so simple! It was a Sunday Dinner specialty prepared by my "Nona" (Italian Grandmother). It was often accompanied by a risotto, and any number of delicious vegetables...we all loved it! I last made this dish about two weeks ago for my eldest daughter's birthday...it was a smash hit! I know Nona was smiling down on us, happy to know her tradition is still being carried on.
