I decided to take a diversion off the FABU Highway down Savory Street when I saw this recipe for pork roast. I’m really more of a last minute kind of cook so I had to remember to prepare for this one since the meat needs to marinate for two days before roasting. The preparation was easy and the results FABU! The roast was tender and moist with a wonderful flavor that was totally worth the wait.
I served the sliced roast with garlic mashed potatoes, a green salad and Caribbean Corn Bread*.
I’m sure you will agree that the flavor of this roast is Mmmmm FABU!
*Look for the Carribean Corn Bread recipe to come!
