Coconut Curry Crusted Pork Roast



COCONUT CURRY CRUSTED PORK ROAST

8 oz. Plain Greek yogurt
Garlic cloves peeled
Fresh ginger, peeled
Whole onion, peeled
Fresh seeded chili or jalapeno pepper
lemon zest
1/3 cup coconut oil
Curry powder

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a blender or food processor add 1 cup of yogurt, a few cloves of garlic to taste, a one inch cube of fresh ginger, a whole sweet onion, cut into chunks, chili pepper, the zest of one lemon, coconut oil, and 3 tablespoons of curry powder and process until smooth. Rub the paste onto a pork roast or whole chicken or chicken pieces and roast until cooked. The coconut oil keeps the meat from drying out, leaving a fragrant and spicy coating that goes well with plain rice and fruit chutney.

Another COCONUT OIL miracle!

My son was in a horrific car accident last week. He was airlifted to the hospital on a LifeStar helicopter. It was pretty scary. I won't go into the broken bones and collapsed lungs here... that would be a different blog! But, I will say that he was so taped back together and the super powerful adhesive was painful to remove and left GOO all over his arms and legs. I happened to have a small container of NUTIVA Coconut oil with me and decided to rub it onto the tape and let it sit for a few minutes. To his total relief, the tape lifted without tearing out all his hair and a second coating removed all the sticky residue from his skin. My son begrudgingly admitted that his Mom's unorthodox, organic method did work and he commented on how good it smelled......
