Budgets are tight these days, and making a hearty meal that doesn't cost a lot can be challenging. This recipe turned out so well that we practically ate the WHOLE thing. Seriously. It was very moist and exactly how I'd hoped it would taste - roasted, smoky, tomato-ey (I know that's not a word) pork deliciousness. The BEST part was that the roast cost about $8 and change. NICE!!I had some potatoes in the pantry, so I just roasted some with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, chopped parsley and rosemary during the last 30 minutes of cooking. EASY. www.TrebleClefChef.blogspot.com
