Valentine dinner

roast pork

 

fried potatoes

mixed veg

Since having children, we’ve been having the Valentine dinner at home.  Last year, dh made a steak dinner.  This year, I made a pork roast.  I wanted to try a recipe that I saw at Bon Appetit.  The cut I bought was actually a loin with skin .  I thought it might be tough, but it turned out so tender and tasty.  I also made fried potatoes with onions and rosemary.  Kids love d that.  For our greens, we had a mixture sauteed with Italian herbs.  A very simple satisfying meal.  And of course, we had that lucious lemon layer curd cake with mascarpone.

I used this rub for my pork- http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Roasted-Double-Rack-of-Pork-with-Morel-Mushroom-Pan-Sauce-233397?sisterSite=bonappetit.com
