This is one of those recipes that is so simple, but so good.

Garlic pork loin
2 small pork loins or 1 large
4 large cloves garlic, cut into 3 pieces each
1 Tbsp. oil
1 Tbsp. LITEHOUSE poultry blend
1/2 tsp. pepper

Preheat oven to 325°. Cut 12 slits randomly around the meat. Insert pieces of the garlic cloves in each slit. Rub the surface of the meat with the oil. Sprinkle on the poultry herbs and pepper. Roast in a heavy pan for 1 1/2-2 hours or until meat thermometer reaches 160°F. You can make gravy with the drippings by adding 3 Tbsp. flour to 2 cups chicken broth. (Stir well so you do not have lumps)Add the flour/broth to the drippings and cook until thickened. Stir all the while it is cooking. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
