Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup water
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 (2 pound) boneless pork loin
• 3 onions, halved

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pat the pork roast dry with a paper towel and perforate the meat at 1 inch intervals with a knife or fork. Insert leaves of rosemary in the perforations.

Step 2

Place the onion halves into a glass 9 or 10 inch pie plate. Set the meat on top of the onions so they act as a roasting rack. Pour the water over the meat and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and cumin.

Step 3

Cook in the microwave at full power for 16 minutes (or about 8 minutes per pound). Turn the roast over and cook for an additional 6 minutes or until the internal temperature of the roast has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let the roast rest for about 15 minutes before carving and serving.
