1/4 cup sundried tomatoes
4 pounds pork loin

Directions

For stuffing, combine croutons, pesto and tomatoes.

Set aside.

Place roast, rib side down, on a cutting surface.

On the meaty side, cut a 3 1/2 inch long and 1 inch deep pocket above each rib, making 6 pockets total.

Spoon stuffinginto pockets. Place roast, rib side down, in a shallow roasting pan.

Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, making sure the bulb doesn't touch the bone.

Roast in a 325 degrees F. oven for 1 1/2 to 2 1/4 hours.

Cover loosely with foil after 1 hour to prevent overbrowning.

For easier carving, let roast stand, covered, for 15 minutes.

Brownie Oatmeal Cookies

Easy preperation and great finished product. Smooth taste, good texture. I substituted coconut (sweetened coarse) for the nuts which made them even better as well as cooked them for 13 minutes.
