Cumin Spiced Boneless Pork Loin Roast w/ Sugar Snap Peas, and Roasted Carrots...

Dinner Tonight: Cumin Spiced Boneless Pork Loin Roast w/ Sugar Snap Peas, Roasted Carrots, Mashed Potatoes, and French Bread




A very Happy Mother's day to all the Moms out there! And a Very Special Happy Mother's Day to a
Very Special Mom, My Mom! I love you Mom! Mom and Dad went to Church this morning, due to a couple of health issues I don't go much. So while they were out I went to Kroger, I was out of Carrots. Came back and cleaned the house and did a small load of laundry. Being Mother's day I wanted to make Mom a really delicious Dinner. So I prepared a Cumin Spiced Boneless Pork Loin Roast w/ Sugar Snap Peas, Roasted Carrots, Mashed Potatoes and French Bread.




I’ve been using the Cumin Spice Rub for a while now. I had come across the recipe a while back on-line, and use it all the time now. It gives the Pork a fantastic crust and great seasoning. I purchased the Pork Tenderloin Boneless Roast from Kroger. To prepare it I’ll need; 1 Pork Tenderloin Roast, 1 tbsp Roasted Cumin, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, 1 tsp Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian Paprika, 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper. To prepare it preheat oven to 400°. Combined all the ingredients; rub it all over the Pork. Let stand 20 minutes. To Roast it I used a mall Broiler Pan with a Wire Rack in it. Sprayed the Rack with Pam Cooking Spray and put the Pork on it. I baked it for about 1 hour, until my thermometer registered 145° (slightly pink) Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Then got ready to enjoy one delicious Pork Tenderloin Roast! Fantastic combo of Spices, which made one incredible Crust on the Pork with the inside being so tender and moist! This is my favorite Pork recipe, bar none!




I also prepared some Sauteed Sugar Snap Peas & Walnuts. I took a 1/4 cup of Walnuts and gave them a rough chop, and set aside. I then heated 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Olive Oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Added the Sugar Snap Peas, Sea Salt, Pepper and Walnuts and sautéed, tossing occasionally for 5 to 6 minutes, until the Sugar Snap Peas were crisp tender. Love this recipe!







I used a real easy and simple recipe for the Carrots. I needed; 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 teaspoon Sea Salt (or to taste), 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (or to taste), 2 teaspoons Rosemary, 2
teaspoons Thyme, and 2 teaspoons Sage. To prepare them I heated the oven to 350 degrees. Sliced the Carrots into smaller pieces. Then in a large bowl, tossed the Carrots with the Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper, Rosemary,Thyme, and Sage. Spread mixture on a large foil lined cookie sheet. Roast until tender, about 30–35 minutes. These are too good! The Carrots  with the added herbs make a perfect side dish. Dad wanted some Mashed Potatoes so I prepared some Bob Evan's Mashed Potatoes. Then to top everything off I baked a loaf of one of Mom's favorite Breads, Pillsbury Rustic French Bread. Took some time and work but it was worth it as Mom loved everything! For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.
