Roasts

I don't hear of many people preparing roasts anymore.  Sure they come out around the holidays or special occasions, but not on a regular basis and certainly not during the week.  But I find them to be immensely satisfying and delicious and also easy to prepare.  Once you prep the roast which usually only takes 10-15 minutes, you are free to tend to other things (like blogging).  Right now, I am enjoying the smells of a 4 pound pork roast (did I mention that I dream about pork but I digress) that is happily cooking away in my oven.  I placed it in a small roasting pan along with a bag of sauerkraut (that would be the contents of the bag, not the bag).  I seasoned the roast by cutting slits into it and filling them with slivers of garlic along with salt, pepper, ground caraway seeds, and ground coriander.  I popped it into the oven (400 degrees) and in 1 - 1 1/2 hours, we will be feasting.  To round the dinner out, we are having buttermilk mashed potatoes and sauteed chard.
I especially like making roasts on Sundays and I like to have different types of meat.  Roast beef, pork and lamb cooked to medium rare are my favorites.  So next time you are looking for something delicious to eat, think about a roast; you won't be disappointed.
