CAJUN PORK LOIN RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Stir together the oil, paprika, oregano, onion flakes, thyme, garlic powder, cayenne, 11/4 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the tender loins and place them on a foil-lined baking pan.
• Roast the tenderloins until browned and just pink in the center (145°F on an instant-read thermometer), about 25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and slice them into 1/4" rounds. Place them in the bottom of your crock pot.
• Finely chop the remainder of the vegetables. In a large skillet, saute the vegetables in butter until tender.
• Add the garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in pepper sauce and all seasonings but the bay leaves.
• Cut deep slits in roast and place in crock pot on top of the potatoes slit side up.
• Spoon vegetable mixture into slits and over the top of the roast. Add bay leaves to the crock pot.
• Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the pork is tender.
• Transfer roast to a serving platter. Using a slotted spoon, remove potatoes and place them around the roast on the platter. Cover platter with foil to keep the roast and potatoes warm.
• If bay leaves are still in the crock pot, remove them. Pour juices into a small saucepan. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into the pan.
• Bring to a boil; cook and stir for two minutes until liquid has thickened.
• Serve gravy with roast and potatoes.
