Roasted pork loins with potatoes and asparagus

What can be better than a beautiful tender pork loin with vegetables?!
I love pork and we actually eat a lot of pork in Russia...so this pork recipe is how we like to make it back home.It's marinaded and it's delicious. And if you follow all the instructions you can actually call this pork - the taste of Russia :-)

for Meat:
1 kg pork loin
1 onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 table spoon white vinegar
2 table spoon olive oil
1/2 cup red wine
1 t spoon rosemary
salt, pepper

For Potatoes:
10 baby potatoes
2 table spoon olive oil
1 t spoon paprika
salt, pepper

And Asparagus.

Slice the meat to even pieces.
Alright, the next thing you need is onion - cut them to nice onion rings.
Mix the onion rings with the meat, add salt, pepper, garlic and wine.
Now it's time for marinade. Take olive oil and white vinegar and mix them. Pour the marinade into the meat. Stir very good, everything should marry together.
Cover the meat with a plate. Leave the meat for about 1 hour.
While it's marinading,
Cut your baby potatoes in half, put them into a plastic bag, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 t spoon paprika, 1 t spoon salt and pepper and shake the bag until all the potato slices are covered with spices. Leave it for a while.

When the time comes, put your beautiful pork on a greased baking sheet, put onion rings on top of each meat slice, then put a slice of tomato and a little bit of shredded mozzarella (or any other cheese). If your baking sheet is big enough, but your baby potatoes around the meat and cook it together with meat, if your backing sheet is not big enough cook it on the same backing sheet, right after the meat is done, that way all the juice from meat will marry with your potatoes and it will give an incredible aroma!!!
So, preheat the oven to 400 degrees and put your meat there for about 25 minutes. If you cook potatoes and meat together - then cook it 30-35 minutes. If not, cooking time for the potatoes - 30 minutes.
The very important thing is that you should cook everything in the meat juice.
When the meat and potatoes are done, take them out of the oven, put them on a plate and cook your asparagus in the remaining juice in the oven for about 15 minutes.
