Week 9: October 11-17, Roti de Porc Grand' Mere (Casserole-roasted Pork with Potatoes and Onions), pg. 382 (MOM)


I went with Dad to the movie "Inglourious Basterds," and did not get home until 4:15. I still had this delicious Julia Child's meal on the table at 6:30. This roasted pork was pretty easy to do, for a Julia recipe. It is also very tasty. The book listed several variations for gravies. I took the roast juices, added some Riesling wine, some gravy flour and whisked it up on the stove. It was a terrific gravy! I served it with dinner rolls and some Cortland applesauce that Dad made. This is easy enough for a family dinner, but delicious enough, and fancy enough, for a company dinner.

Taste: 5
Ease of Preparation: 2
Presentation: 4
Price: 2
Would I make it again? Sure! Easy and delicious!
