2 tablespoons olive oil

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a Dutch oven with olive oil spray or coat with olive
oil.
Coarsely chop 1/2 of the onion. Put onion and celery in

in top of roast and place a half clove of garlic in each slit.
Pour soup mix over roast. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon each of
salt and coarse black pepper. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon garlic powder on top of

Cover Dutch oven and place on top of stove and heat just
until it just comes to a boil. Remove from heat and place Dutch oven into oven
and bake for 90 minutes. Remove from oven.
Combine potatoes, carrots, and 1/2 onion coarsely chopped in
a large bowl. Add rosemary, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste, and stir to
combine. Add to pork roast.
Return pork roast to the oven and bake covered for an
additional 60 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
Place pork on cutting board and remove strings. Cut pork into 1/2 inch slices.
Removed vegetables from Dutch oven and place in serving bowl.
Roast pork, sliced for serving. |
Add corn starch slurry to Dutch oven, stir to combine with drippings in the pan and bring to a boil on top of stove. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes or until gravy thickens. Plate pork roast and vegetables. Top with gravy if desired or serve on the side. Leftovers make great pork barbeque sandwiches!
Sliced pork sandwiches with BBQ sauce and a side of coleslaw. Yum! |
