1 large onion, halved
3 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
4 cloves garlic, halved

4 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
4 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
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

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.
