    An easy and gorgeous dinner with herbes de Provence roasted pork loin, caramelized root vegetables and a sweet and savory balsamic reduction.

    Today is the kick off to Pass the Cook Book Club! Oh..what is this you ask? Well, its the coolest book club ever! Kita thought of this idea as she wanted to start dustin off some of her cook books. So, she got a bunch of fabulous cooks together, picked out a few recipes from 1 book and we all make them! Pretty neat-o huh?

    Today’s recipe is from The Pioneer Woman Cooks. Most of us bloggers know her because she is the American Blogger Story, from blogger to TV show, from “rags to riches”..you know. But if you don’t, she has the new Food Network show and countless books. I was excited to make this dish because it was rustic and simple. Pork loin is lean and the seasonings were already in my cupboard. I bought gorgeous in season vegetables and chopped them up just as she does, and boy..what a difference cutting vegetables small makes…you eat every single one of them!

    For a simple sauce, I reduced leftover fig jam (but you can use whatever jam you have really), with a little water and few tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. It got thick and sweet and was perfect with the pork and vegetables.

      I have to try this! I wish I had time to make it with the potatoes but I’m glad I didn’t since now you have inspired me to make it with a fig jam sauce. Seriously! Shut up… figs! I love figs!! Brillant!

      I was wondering what kind of jam that was! It looks dark and beautiful. I used plum on mine but it was waaay lighter. I never thought that cutting them up would get me to eat them all but now that you mentioned it Im thinking I should have tried to sneak some more veggies into the dish! I backed out knowing handsome would only eat cauliflower and broccoli. ><

      The only problem with this club is that once I see everyone else’s posts, I start to re-think my pick, because their photos make the other dishes sound so good. 🙂 I think I’m going to have to pick up some pork loin and veggies so I can try this over the weekend… that fig jam glaze sounds ah-mah-zing.

      Your pork loin looks perfectly cooked and cutting the veggies small is a great idea. Glad to meet you through this cooking club 🙂
