"This is another simple twist to add an extra something to your pork. The basil and garlic give the pork a lovely flavour. Use your favorite pesto recipe sauce. The marinating fridge time of 12 hours is not included in the posted times"

I made this in the crock-pot over sliced potatoes. I cooked it on low for 6 hours and it turned out so good, the roast was moist and tender. The pesto flavoured up those taters nicely also. A keeper recipe.
