ROAST LOIN OF PORK WITH MRS. KOSTYRA
This savory pork dish has always been one of Mrs. Kostyra's favorites to prepare and -- since her childhood in Nutley, New Jersey -- one of Martha's favorites to eat. Surprisingly easy to make, the recipe features a rich reduction sauce flavored with marjoram, onions, and prunes.

Steps:
- Make incisions in the pork every 2 to 3 inches, and insert garlic slices. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, sugar, and marjoram, and coat the pork evenly with the mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle flour over the pork to lightly coat. Shake to remove any excess flour. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork, and brown on all sides. Transfer pork to a large roasting pan. Grate onions over the pork. Add 1 1/2 cups water to roasting pan, and roast, covered, for 1 hour, basting occasionally.
- In a medium bowl, soak prunes in enough cold water to cover, for 15 minutes. Drain, and add to roasting pan. If necessary, add a little water to roasting pan to prevent pork loin from sticking. Cover, reduce heat to 325 degrees, and roast until temperature of pork loin reaches 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 30 minutes.
- Remove pork loin from roasting pan, and let rest for 10 minutes. Place roasting pan on stove, heat over medium-high heat, and cook pan juices until reduced and thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
- Slice pork, arrange on a serving platter, and serve with sauce.

[email protected]Solid recipe. The pork came out great, and the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a meat thermometer to make sure the pork is cooked to your desired doneness.

[email protected]Wow! This pork loin was incredible. The crust was crispy and flavorful, and the inside was moist and tender. I'm not sure how Mrs. Kostyra came up with this recipe, but she's a genius.
