Ingredients

  • 1  cup loosely-packed fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley leaves
  • 1  cup loosely-packed fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1  Tbsp. finely shredded lime peel
  • 3  Tbsp. olive oil
  • 3  large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1  2-1/2- to 3-lb. boneless pork loin roast
  • 1  recipe Grilled Sweet Corn (recipe below)
  • 1  recipe Grilled Pineapple (recipe below)

Directions

1. Snip 2 tablespoons each of the parsley and cilantro. In small bowl combine snipped herbs with 1/2 teaspoon of the lime peel, 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1 clove of the garlic; set aside.

Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and remaining parsley, cilantro, and lime peel. Roll roast to original shape. Tie at 2-inch intervals with 100 percent cotton kitchen string. Spread snipped herb mixture over outside of roast. Sprinkle with black pepper.

3. For charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan. Test for medium heat above pan. Place roast on grill rack over pan. Cover and grill 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the roast registers 150 degrees F. Add more coals as needed to maintain medium heat above drip pan.
