Roasted Marinara Sauce

Some of you have asked for my roasted marinara recipe and so I will offer a guide on how I make it. There are no exact measurement as each batch can be different depending on the intensity of the flavor of your tomatoes, onions, and peppers.  I make each batch and taste it until I am satisfied. 

You'll notice no garlic in my recipe.  Italian ladies everywhere are shaking their heads.  You are welcome to add it to your sauce.  My husband cannot have garlic so I do not use it and it is still very tasty.

Grilled Honey Rosemary Glazed Pork

Grilled Honey Rosemary Glazed Pork 

1/4 cup honey
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2-3 teaspoons finely chopped fresh Rosemary
1-1/2 pound pork tenderloin
olive oil
salt and pepper

Mix together honey, 1 T olive oil and Rosemary in a small sauce pan.  Use the 3 teaspoon measure if you like more Rosemary flavor.

 Bring to boil and cook for 30 seconds.  

Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Pat pork dry and brush with olive oil.  Season with salt and pepper.

Grill over medium-hot fire for about 15 minutes turning every few minutes so all sides get time on the grates.   Brush on honey Rosemary glaze, continue to turn and glaze for another 5 minutes or until meat thermometer reads at least 145 degrees.  This is pork's new safety standard.  This cut of meat can go a little higher and will still be tender. 

Rest your meat under a foil tent for 3-5 minutes. Slice.  As you can see mine was still juicy so I poured the juices back over the meat when I served it. 

Use this glaze on other cuts of pork (change the cooking times) or even chicken!
