Monday Menu

Having arrived home a short while ago I stepped into a house full of wonderful cooking scents as my crock pot is simmering away with tomorrow night's dinner - Teriyaki Pork Roast. I can only hope that this tastes as good as it smells.

Tomorrow night's dinner will be:

Terriyaki Pork Roast

Green beans with chic peas in oil and garlic

Mashed potatoes

Green salad

Pineapple slices

Teriyaki Pork Roast

3/4 cup unsweetened apple juice (I used chicken broth, the recipe writer did also)

2 tablespoons sugar (I left out)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon white vinegar

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon peper

1 bonelss pork loin roast (about 3 pounds)

------

2 tablespoons cornstarch

3 tablespoons cold water

Combine first seven ingredients in a greasted slow cooker. Add roast and turn to coat. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until a thermometer inserted into the roast reads 160 degrees.

Remove roast and keep warm. In a saucepan, combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir in cooking juices. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes of until thickened.

Yield: 8 servings.

2/16 addendum: This was ok, it did need the gravy. After trying this I think a pork loin oven roasted is better.
