Czech Roast Pork LoinI had a great deal on pork loin, so naturally I bought more than I needed. 

I'm glad I did! I found a handful of great pork recipes from The Blue Danube Cookbook and this is the first of them, a simple roast pork loin accented with caraway seed and marjoram.  

Yield
12 Servings
Preparation time
5 minutes
Ingredients
3 lb Pork Loin
1 c Water
1 t Marjoram (dried)
1 T Caraway Seeds
1 T kosher salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to a very slow 250 degrees.
  2. Set the meat on a board and score the fat with a sharp knife into diamonds. Then rub it with kosher salt and then sprinkle it with marjoram and caraway seeds.
  3. Roast in the slow oven for three hours.
  4. Remove from the oven when tender and let cool before carving.
Notes
This is traditionally served with a roux-thickened gravy and knedlicky bread dumplings, but it's mighty fine on its own, with the marjoram and caraway flavoring the tender pork.
