SANTA FE CURED PORK LOIN

Santa Fe Cured Pork Loin image

Moist and tender beyond belief, this grilled pork roast is infused with extra flavor from its 2-day "bath" in an herbed cure. "Curing" is simply marinating meat in a heavily salted or sugared solution. The meat absorbs moisture and stays tender when cooked. Try this curing solution on pork chops or pork tenderloins.
