I started with a 2 1/4 lb boneless pork roast. I rubbed it with Hawaiian salt, and rolled the roast in a mix of rosemary and fennel. I let the roast sit in the fridge, wrapped tightly, for two days. I let the roast return to room temperature as I prepped.
- In a Dutch oven, in very hot olive oil, I browned the roast on all sides. Removed the roast;
- In the Dutch oven, I added:
- one onion, sliced
- two carrots, sliced
- two cloves of garlic
- bouquet garni (thyme, parsley, bay leaves)
- and a touch of white wine
- soften – ten minutes
- Returned the roast to the Dutch oven, heated ’till sizzling, added a 1/4 cup more white wine, and put it in a 325°f oven for 1 hour and twenty minutes.
- Removed the roast; added another 1/4 cup white wine; boiled down, pressed the vegetables and liquids through a strainer; poured the gravy over the pork, sliced, with Rigatoni pasta, and roasted broccoli.
