Sometimes simple food is so damn good. My grocery store had pork sirloin roast (not as tender as the loin but more flavorful) on sale, so I bought a little one and roasted it up in a simple rub of olive oil and minced sage; I also cut some slits in the roast and stuck in slivers of garlic, which from now on I will always do because it makes an amazing difference in the flavor. In the pan around the pork I roasted a cut-up potato with a bit more olive oil and sage, and in a separate pan I roasted some asparagus spears with olive oil and a bit of salt.

This produced a very satisfying dinner for very little effort, plus a nice chunk of leftover pork roast for sandwiches and things.

Mmm! Sage is so good with pork. And roast asparagus is just so good. And easy! (I've cooked pork once in the last twelve years, and that was on the weekend that lilacsigil was in isolation. I saved the job of cutting back the sage bushes for that weekend specifically so I'd have oodles for the pork.)

We put garlic into our lamb roasts like that, it's wonderful.

How odd that few people seem to cook pork! It's so easy and yummy. I actually cook a lot of pork, because I love it in Asian dishes as well as western ones. (Thinly sliced pork stir-fried with edamame, Chinese preserved vegetable, garlic, ginger, ground bean sauce, and hot chiles = delicious.)

I've never been able to cook lamb in a way that I really like. Suggestions?
