| Mediterranean Recipes "1/3 cup bulgur 3 tablespoons snipped dried tomatoes* 3 green onions, sliced (1/3 cup) 2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons lemon juice 3/4 teaspoon dried mint leaves, crushed 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 4- to 5-pound pork loin center rib roast, backbone removed 1 recipe Cucumber Relish (optional) (recipe follows) " "1. Combine bulgur with enough water to cover; let stand 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly. For stuffing, in a mixing bowl combine bulgur, tomatoes, onions, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, mint, and salt; toss to mix. 2. Place pork roast rib side down. On the meaty side, cut a 3-1/2-inch-long and 1-inch-deep pocket above each rib, making 8 to 10 pockets. Spoon bulgur mixture into pockets. 3. Transfer roast, rib side down, to a shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle meat with a little salt and pepper. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, making sure the bulb does not touch bone or rest in stuffing. 4. Roast in a 325 degree F oven for 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 hours or until thermometer registers 155 degrees F. To prevent stuffing from overbrowning, cover loosely with foil after 1 hour of roasting. Let stand 15 minutes before carving. Slice roast between ribs to serve. Serve with Cucumber Relish, if desired. Makes 8 to 10 servings. " |
