"This is very similar to porketta. This makes for a lovely Sunday Roast. I make mine in the rotisserie oven, but it can be cooked in the oven also."

Deliciously seasoned roast that we had with Parmesan garlic mashed potatoes and whole sautéed green beans with garlic and onions. Such a good combo!

I wanted something special for Sunday dinner when my family was coming. I did this using my grill and wrapping in aluminum foil. Placed it on the opposite side of the grill that wasn't turned on and it came out very tender and so tasty. I will try it in my oven when it gets cooler. We loved the deliciousness of the meat with all the herbs.

This takes about 5 minutes to prepare and the end result is a fabulous flavored roast that you will want to have over and over! We both want to have this again soon!

Winner! The aroma in my kitchen last weekend had us anticipating, while the roast admittedly small it was enjoyed right down to the last slice and had us wishing for leftovers! I especially like your method, one that I too use, have to love how the mortar and pestle does release the aroma of the herbs. Mixed with oil it was easily rubbed into the meat. The garlic slivers make for a wonderfully garlicy taste. Served with Linda's http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/sweet-roasted-carrots-and-honey-4966 and our http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/deluxe-cole-slaw-2722 we had a great weekend meal.

Thank you QueenBea, my family loved this roast, I agree it has a great combination of herbs, it needed more garlic though so I had to increase that, thanks so much!
