MASHED ROASTED VEGTABLES

GARLIC SAUCE

Roast:

Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Rub garlic over roast, reserving cloves for vegetables. Brush roast with olive oil, sprinkle with herbs. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper. Bake at 500F. for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325F.; bake 1 hour longer or until 160 degrees on a meat thermometer.

Vegtables:

Combine all ingredients in a ziplock bag; toss well. Place vegetables around pork roast after reducing heat. Bake 1 hour or until roast is done. Position knife blade in food processor; add half of the vegetables. Process until smooth, stopping often to scrape down sides. Remove and keep warm. Repeat with remaining vegetables. Makes 2 cups.

Garlic Sauce:

Process garlic in food processor until finely chopped. Add water, salt, bread and almonds; process until smooth. With processor running, pour olive oil through food chute in a slow steady stream until combined and chill. Serve over sliced pork or cooked vegetables. Makes 1 cup.
