Prosciutto Wrapped Pork Roast



Are you looking for something to serve for Easter dinner besides the standard ham?  Try my prosciutto wrapped pork roast.  It is yet another dish that you spend a little time preparing, stick in the oven and continue on with your day.  The end result is an impressive looking entree that is packed with flavor.  Oh and the BBQ pork sandwiches the next day were divine!

3 Oz. Parma Prosciutto
1 Clove Garlic
1 Shallot

  2. Cut garlic, shallot and fresh herbs finely
  3. In bowl, add garlic, shallot, herbs, lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper.  Combine ingredients thoroughly

  5. Rub the garlic, shallot, herb mixture over the top side of the roast
  6. Wrap the prosciutto slices around the roast
  7. In a greased oven proof pan, place the pork and add the chicken broth to the pan (see photo below)
