BRINED PORK LOIN ROAST
Since everyone seems to be doing the brining thing, I thought you all might like this roast. I got the recipe several years ago on the FoodTV network - can't remember which show. The low temp isn't a typo - it cooks at 250 degrees. The flavor and taste are exceptional. Great for a Sunday dinner with garlic mashed potatoes and Sauerkraut with Apples #53036 - this recipe came from the same show. Hope you enjoy - it's a favorite of ours.

BRINED GRILL-ROASTED PORK LOIN
Steps:
- In a small dry skillet over medium heat toast the coriander, mustard seeds, juniper berries, and peppercorns until fragrant, about 1 minute. Put them on a plate to cool. In a bowl mix the sugar and salt with 2 cups of water until dissolved. Put the pork roast into a deep bowl or a large plastic bag. Pour in the sugar and salt water. Add the toasted spices, thyme, and bay leaves. Add more water until the meat is covered. Let it sit in the brine in the refrigerator for 2 to 6 hours.
- Remove the pork roast from the brine about 1/2 hour before you will be ready to cook it to allow it to come up to room temperature. When ready to cook, heat a grill to high heat. Dry the pork, rub it with olive oil, and season it with pepper. Sear the pork on all sides to get grill marks. Move the roast to an upper rack (or over indirect heat) and put a drip pan underneath it. Cook the pork until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, about 30 to 45 minutes. Remove to a platter, cover loosely with foil, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
- Before carving, add any accumulated juices to the drippings in the pan. Spoon these over the sliced pork.
BRINED PORK ROAST
Brining is a technique that is makes the roast more juicy, by making possible the accumulation of juices within the meat during cooking. The proportion of salt to water must be 1/3 to 1/2 cup per each 2 quarts of liquid (or 2/3 to 1 cup of salt per gallon), in order for this transformation to occur. The sugar balances the flavors; the herbs and spices have only a very subtle impact on the flavor of the finished dish. *Cooking time for roast is not included as this is determined by the size of the roast!

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
- Cool to room temperature.
- Immerse pork roast of your choice in the cooled brine mixture, and refrigerate for 12 hours or overnight (up to 24 hours) turning occasionally if necessary for even brining.
- Remove roast from brine, rinse, and pat dry with paper towels, and roast (on a rack or grill pan) according to your favorite recipe until a thermometer, inserted in the center of the roast, reads 155 degrees.
- Allow the roast to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
- (Roast may be coated with mustard, breadcrumbs or glaze of your choice before or during roasting, if desired.) NOTE: Smaller cuts of pork, such as pork tenderloins, may also be brined in this way- but should be immersed in the brine solution for proportionately less time, to avoid over-salting.
BASIC PORK BRINE
I use this brine for all pork cuts that I grill. It adds a subtle flavor to the meat without being too salty. The pork cooks up tender, moist and delicious every time.

Tips:
- Choosing the right cut of pork: Opt for a pork loin roast that is at least 3 pounds and has a uniform shape. This will ensure even cooking and prevent the roast from drying out.
- Brining the pork: Brining helps to tenderize the pork and infuse it with flavor. Use a simple brine made with salt, sugar, water, and herbs for at least 12 hours or overnight.
- Stuffing the pork: Use a flavorful stuffing made with bread cubes, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Cook the stuffing separately before stuffing it into the pork loin to prevent the pork from becoming dry.
- Roasting the pork: Roast the pork loin in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with the pan juices every 20 minutes or so to keep it moist.
- Resting the pork: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
Conclusion:
Brined and stuffed pork loin roast is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its tender and flavorful meat, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Whether you serve it for a special occasion dinner or a casual weeknight meal, this roast is sure to impress.
