Herb Marinated Loin of Pork

From the Barefoot Contessa's Back to Basics cookbook again, I tried the recipe Herb Marinated Loin of Pork.  It marinates overnight in a lemon herb marinade and then sits on the BBQ for about 20 minutes.  I altered the recipe slightly using bottle lemon juice rather than freshly squeezed.  I did use fresh rosemary but used dried thyme.

This was very simple and very, very good.  My husband said that this is his favorite recipe that I have tried so far.

I served it with "Pan Roasted Root Vegetables" from the same cookbook.  I did my grocery shopping this week at Walmart so couldn't get all the vegetables (celery root).  Aww, let's face it - I don't like brussel sprouts so I avoid those on purpose.  As for turnip - those only taste good raw.  Why cook them and mess with that?   I used as directed: carrots, parsnips, celery and added my own combo of green pepper and zucchini.   These turned out really really tasty and I will make them again but I think I could easily cut  back on both the butter and the salt in the recipe.
