Roast Pork with Piri-Piri

Marinade a 3 pound boneless pork loin or tenderloin for a full day for the fullest flavor.

Piri-Piri 
1/4 cup fresh hot chili peppers
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Coarsely chop the peppers, discarding the tops. Combine all ingredients in a glass bottle. Cap and refrigerate. Use as needed.

Marinade 
2 sweet red bell peppers, seeded and cut
8 cloves of garlic
2 teaspoons of salt
8 tablespoons of olive oil
6 teaspoons of Piri-Piri, or red pepper flakes to taste.

Put all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Reserve about half to use as a sauce. Place the pork loin in a baking dish, put half of the marinade on the pork, cover and refrigerate.

The next day preheat the oven to 350°F, uncover the meat and roast for 40-45 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature is 185°F. Slice for serving. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes before serving.

Note: We often use the red pepper flakes rather than making the piri-piri.
