Pork Prime Rib
Ingredients
- 7-8 lb. bone-in pork loin (including 8 bones)
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. dried thyme, dried oregano, and dried basil
- 1 dash kosher salt, to taste
- 1 dash pepper, to taste
Directions
Start off by rubbing the pork loin with olive oil and then kosher salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, and dried basil. Place on a roasting rack and put into a 375 degree oven for about 30-45 minutes or until it hits an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Let the roast rest for about twenty minutes. Next you want to cut the roast in between each bone so that you produce a “chop”. Have a preheated grill ready to go and place the chops on the grill until you have nice grill marks.Note
Chef Todd Nash suggests serving this alongside grilled asparagus.Bacon-Shallot Bread Pudding

Pre- cook the bacon, shallot, and garlic and set aside to cool. Once the mixture has cooled completely add to the milk & egg mixture. Melt the butter and pour evenly over the bread.
