I got a 6# pork roast at the store ($1.88 a pound! vs $5.88 per pound) and I am not sure how long to cook it and at what temp.

Also it is not seasoned. Any ideas on seasoning? I'd like to make this tonight. It's 12:30 and we eat around 7ish.
 
I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier. :( I have one of Boma's recipes that I use for pork roast & it's delicious! :teeth: We especially like the coconut curry sauce. The other one is also really good. Unfortunately, both need to be marinated for several hours so I don't know if this will help. They're both so good that I'd put off having it until tomorrow so I could marinate the meat. :teeth:

CURED PORK LOIN
from Boma, AKL

3 1/3 lb Pork Loin
¼ lb Kosher Salt (4 Tbl)
¼ lb Sugar (8 Tbl)
½ lb Brown Sugar (7¾ Tbl)
2 Tbl Minced Herb (Thyme or Rosemary), chopped fine
2 Tbl Ginger, fresh and chopped (dry 1½ tsp)
2 Tbl Cinnamon
To taste Ground Black Pepper

In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients except the pork. Rub the mixture into the pork and let marinade overnight. Cook in the oven at 350o for one hour or until done.

COCONUT CURRY SAUCE (FOR FISH OR PORK)

1 c Coconut Milk
½ oz Curry Paste (see recipe below)
1 qt Soy Sauce
2 c Sugar
½ oz Lime Juice
½ oz Cilantro, chopped rough

Mix all the ingredients together except for the cilantro. Mix well and heat until reaches the proper temperature. Pour over the seafood. Garnish with the cilantro.

CURRY PASTE

¼ c Olive Oil
¼ lb Red Pepper
¼ c Fresh Ginger Root
¼ c Garlic Cloves
1 Tbl Ground Turmeric
1 Tbl Ground Cinnamon
1 Tbl Ground Cumin
1 Tbl Ground Cardamom
1 Tbl Ground Coriander
1 Tbl Cayenne Pepper

Puree peppers, fresh garlic, and ginger in a Robot Coupe. Heat olive oil in non-reactive pan. Add in puree and simmer for one hour. Then remove pot from heat and add all other ingredients. Puree again until smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature. Puree with a blender and run through Food Mill.

Cool, cover and refrigerate in jars for up to one week.

Honey Sesame Tenderloin
½ c soy sauce
1 Tbl finely chopped ginger root or 1 tsp ground ginger
1 Tbl sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 lb pork tenderloin
1/4 c honey
2 Tbl packed brown sugar
¼ c sesame seed

Mix soy sauce, ginger root, sesame oil, and garlic. Place tenderloin in plastic bag; pour soy mixture over tenderloin. Refrigerate at least 8 hours, but no longer than 24 hours. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Remove tenderloin from marinade; pat dry. Mix honey and brown sugar in shallow dish. Roll tenderloin in honey mixture, coating thoroughly; roll in sesame seed. Place in shallow roasting pan. Roast uncovered 20 - 30 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 190 degrees. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
 
My mom taught me to season pork with poulty seasoning, and I add a little kosher salt and pepper. Tastes great!

:rotfl: Four years ago I was called the "totally bored with cooking" queen. LOL I disliked meat, hated pork (or thought I did) and was tired of making the same things over & over after 25+ yrs of marriage. Fortunately, a trip to WDW, a stay at AKL & finding this board has changed all that!

Eating at Boma especially made a difference! I never realized that the reason I didn't like meat was simply the way it was prepared. :confused3
 
my sister and I always did the same thing......put the roast in a large baking dish...put water in the bottom of it....like a half inch and keep adding more to keep it that way....on top of the roast.......I made slits and put in pieces of onion and put garlic powder on top .........also ground pepper......after it starts to cook I baste it with the water that is kept at one half inch in the bottom.....It is very moist and delicious.....for a good size pork roast I cook it for two or three hours at 35o
