Using Berkshire Pork

So I chopped up some onions that I picked up at the Des Moines farmers market on Saturday, put them on some new potatoes. Ground on some salt and pepper, and drizzled over some olive oil as a base.

Then I scored the fat of the Berkshire Pork Loin (from Eden Farms), covered both sides with salt and pepper and then rubbed in a mixture of Maille Dijon Mustard, some Iowa Honey, and some Olive Oil. The Pork loin had a lovely layer of pork fat on it.

So after 15 minutes at 450F and another ~60 minutes at 350F the meat looks like this:

On the plate with the potatoes, onions and some wonderful Smoked Garlic and Chives bread from Uncle Wendell's.

I think it turned out very well...and the pork...oh the delicious pork. It was so good.
