what is EVOO?
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
This is easy, delicious and very similar to the lemon Rosemary chicken posted somewhere, which I also made in the slow cooker. If u like crispier skin on the pork loin, you can roast it also, as a whole tenderloin. Follow normal roasting directions and not so much olive oil. We eat a lot of pork tenderloin because when it goes on sale, it’s cheap! I buy a pretty large piece and have the meat dude cut it into several portions fit for two adults. Great cold, on salads or cubed, as a snack.
NF,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and how this turned out for you. I like your idea of roasting it to get a crispier skin. I haven’t tried that and may give it a shot next time I make this recipe.
Cheers,
Katie
