Recipe from the Food Muser: Garlic BBQ Pork Loin

I've actually tried out a few different marinades for pork loin in the last few months, thanks to some great recipes inspired by friends. However this pork loin marinade, I actually came up with myself, and I am proud to say...it is pretty awesome! So here we go:

Garlic BBQ Pork Loin
2 Pork Loins, 1 LB each
1 CUP Apple & Eve Mango Passion Juice
1/3 CUP Yoshida's Asian Marinade (Teriyaki sauce/honey is a good substitute)
2 TBSP Minced Garlic
1 TBSP Worcestershire
1 TBSP French's Mustard
1 TBSP Jack Daniel's Dijon Mustard
1 TBSP Paprika
1 TBSP Onion Powder
1 TSP Kosher or Sea Salt
1 TSP Allspice
1/2 TSP Cinnamon
1/2 TSP Fresh Ground Black Pepper
1/2 TSP Ground Ginger

Add marinade ingredients into a steel or glass mixing bowl and whisk until all ingredients are mixed in well.

With a fork, perforate the pork loins modestly to allow the marinade to soak in a little more. I know they say not to do that, but yes, it actually works. Put both loins in a big freezer bag, then pour in the marinade. Seal bag almost completely, and then carefully squeeze out the air, making sure not to let any marinade escape, then seal completely. Allow pork loins to marinate refrigerated for at least 4 hours - more is always better. As a matter of fact, if you can begin marinating the pork loins late the night before, you are looking at maximum potential for awesomeness.

Preheat your oven to 350˚F. When oven is preheated, grab the bag with the pork loins out of your fridge, and put the pork loins into a long casserole pan, a 12"x 20" is ideal. The pork loins should be well saturated with marinade with the minced garlic sticking to them. Feel free to add some of the marinade into the casserole pan and if you can, scoop up some of the excess minced garlic from the marinade and apply it to the pork loin. If you have some House Seasoning (equal parts Salt, Garlic Powder, & Black Pepper ground), sprinkle a modest amount over the pork loins.

Put the pork loins into the 350˚F, and allow 45-50 mins cooking time. When time is up, take the pork loins out, and allow 10 mins resting time before cutting into the meat.

Garlic BBQ Pork Loin serves nicely with Hashbrown Casserole, Homemade Mac & Cheese, Roasted Red Potatoes, and/or Roasted Asparagus. Enjoy!

There is power in foods with intense aroma and flavor, friends. This pork loin has both, coupled with the unavoidable taste and after effects of comfort food enjoyment. Folks of all walks should enjoy this recipe, and then a movie.
