Yummy in your tummy!

Here are some suggestions for your weekday vegetarian meals:
I'm folding two series into one this week. I'm continuing providing you with recipes for Weekday Vegetarianism, and add a hint of maple from my series on maple syrup. If there is one meat that really goes well with maple syrup it is pork.
Buy your pork loin at the farmers' market, or from a butcher who sells organic and sustainable meat. If you can afford it, try some Berkshire pork or Tamworth pork, which is an absolutely fabulous breed, and it is on the Slow Food Canadian Ark of Taste. Both are heritage breeds that are endangered. The hope is to bring these breeds back by increasing the demand for their meat. I didn't have the money for either of them, but I did buy an organic pork loin that is antibiotic and hormone free.
This is a great Sunday dinner. It's very easy to make and you just put it in the oven and forget about it for over an hour. Don't worry if you forget to brine it the night before, it would still be delicious.
