Christine’s Smoky Italian Dip

Christine’s Smoky Italian Dip
A blend of bold spices, underlined by a hint of paprika-inspired smokiness, make this dip absolute perfection. With garlic, fennel and oregano, this seasoning becomes the ideal vehicle for anything you can think of, from pasta and meat dishes, to a veggie sauté.
Uses: Mix 1 tablespoon with 1⁄4 cup olive oil and let set for 15 minutes to allow the herbs and spices to soften. A tablespoon of freshly grated parmesan cheese stirred in makes this insanely good. Try it in a tossed salad with tomatoes, olives, red onion and grilled chicken or drizzled on warm Italian bread.

Ingredients: unrefined sea salt, paprika, garlic, onion, black pepper, fennel, basil, oregano

Roast Pork Loin
Serves 6
1 (3 lb) pork loin roast
1⁄2 cup Christine’s Smoky Italian Dip 1 bottle white balsamic vinegar
The night before you plan to serve this dish, coat pork loin liberally with Christine’s Smoky Italian Dip; the entire loin should be covered. Place seasoned loin in a gallon-size ziplock bag and pour in the bottle of white balsamic vinegar; refrigerate overnight. The next day, when ready to cook, preheat oven to 350°. Place loin in roasting pan with the marinade juice and cook for about 1 hour, or until slightly pink inside and reaches 145°. Remove from oven and cover with foil; let rest for 15 minutes. Pour pan drippings over loin, slice and serve.
