INDONESIAN-STYLE PORK ROAST

Indonesian-Style Pork Roast image

Your family and friends won't believe you when you reveal the "secret ingredients" for this flavorful pork roast-peanut butter! I've served this roast to guests for years, and I can't tell you how many times I've sent copies of the recipe home with guests. For a change of taste, you can substitute toasted walnuts for peanuts and use walnut oil instead of peanut butter.
