Easter Tips:
Roasting a Juicy Pork Loin
Cooking a fabulous Moist Pork Tenderloin for Easter
From Ask the Web Chef
Stephen Block
Here is a question from Patricia,
I am planning on making a roast loin of pork (with the bone in it) for
Easter. It will have 12 chops. How long should I cook it and at what
temperature? I want it to be moist, not dry.
Thank you for your help and happy holidays to you.
HI, Patricia:
I would invest in a meat thermometer if you don't have one.
Put a bed of onion slices on the bottom of your roast pan (2 onions'
worth) I would put a good seasoned salt, fresh cracked pepper, whole
thyme or rosemary on the pork loin for flavor. I would also make slits
in it with knife and insert whole cloves of garlic in the meat. (Putting
the seasoning on the roast the day before helps the flavor
tremendously.)
Roast uncovered, bone side down, (this makes a nice crispy crust) at a
low oven temperature, 325 degrees 20 to 25 min./pound, to an internal
degrees of 165 degrees.
However I would take roast out at 150, pour into the pan 3 to 4 cups of
hot water, splash 1/2 a cup of white wine if you enjoy that.
The Roast will continue to cook to 165 in about 15-20 minutes just
sitting on the counter. This is called "carry over" cooking. If you take
the roast out at 160 it will continue to cook to about 175 degrees.
Strain the onions out of the stock from the pan and make gravy.
Serve the caramelized onions from the roast, and serve them on the side.
I hope this helps, I get hungry thinking about one of my absolute
favorite roasts, pork tenderloin.
Warmest Regards, Chef Stephen

Ideas for Turkey Leftovers:
Cooking Something from Nothing
http://www.thewanderingchef.com/chefbaum/
Chef Baum's Crockpot Italian Style Turkey Noodle Soup:
Tired of the same old turkey soup left over ? Just a few additions
And your house well smell like an Italian kitchen.
You will need:
1 medium onion diced
2 small or 1 large carrot peeled, and diced
4 celery stalks washed, and diced
2 Bay Leaves
Chicken base
½ gallon of hot water
1 cup cooked turkey chopped
1 cup or 1 14oz.can diced tomatoes
1 tblsp. fresh Garlic, minced
1 ½ tblsp. Oregano
1 ½ tblsp. Basil
Mozzarella cheese 1 cup shredded
1 cup uncooked macaroni or egg noodles
Salt and pepper
Method:
In a Crock Pot, add hot water. Add just enough chicken base to give it a
good flavor being careful not too add too much or too little. Add garlic
vegetables, turkey and the herbs and spices (salt and pepper to taste).
Let cook for approximately four (4) to six (6) hours on a medium setting
or until vegetables are tender. Add macaroni or egg noodles and cook on
hight for another half (1/2) hour.
Sprinkle a little mozzarella cheese on top of each soup cup or bowl
before serving.
Yield approximately sixty-four (64) ounces or a half (1/2) gallon.
Garnish idea: Use a cookie cutter and cut the center out of 1 slice of
bread for each serving of soup. Lightly butter the bread. Season with
garlic salt and parsley. Bake in a preheated, 350 degree oven for five
(5) minutes or until golden. Remove and place in the center of each bowl
of your Turkey Noodle Soup when you are ready to serve. A fresh sprig of
Parsley will be a nice accompaniment also.

Spring, or is it Fall?..BBQ and Picnic Recipes from the Wandering Chef
While Spring is starting to awaken in the Northern Hemisphere, Fall is
approaching in the Southern half of the world. Though both sides of the
earth are experiencing different seasons, with the internet and email it
is easier now to find out what is happening beyond the horizon. We can
share so easily what we are cooking for dinner.
In the North (perhaps like me) you are getting a bit of cabin fever.
Does the thought of a picnic or inviting a few friends over for a BBQ
sound good? In New Zealand my friend and “Wandering Chef of the month,”
Judy Collyns, says that during the fall weather they often have outdoor
BBQ’s . It has been so much fun sharing food thoughts with Judy and she
wouldn’t mind hearing from you. She is witty, fun and a fantastic cook
for her husband and family.
