Strange for a Monday, but I decided to make a pork roast so that there are leftovers for first-day-back-from-vacation, Tuesday. Don't be afraid of the molasses and soy sauce... this combo makes and nice and groovy gravy...Simple, easy and really tasty. This would also be really good with pork tenderloin.
You'll need: one lean pork roast, baby carrots, one parsnip, 6-7 small red potatoes, 10 or so mushrooms, half an onion, 1 clove garlic, molasses, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, salt, pepper, 2-3 sprigs of oregano.
1. Prep what you can: cut the fat off your pork, clean and quarter your potatoes and parsnips, thinly slice your garlic and onion, clean and half your mushrooms.
2. On the stove, heat a generous amount olive oil in a large pot (with lid) that is oven-safe.- Preheat oven to 350.
3. Throw in all veggies except for mushrooms, then season with salt, pepper and fresh oregano- sautee for 5 minutes.
4. Season pork with salt and pepper, and make some room in the middle of the veggies for the pork. Brown up the sides for 3-4 minutes each side, then pour in 1-2 tbsps molasses, 1-2 tsps vinegar and a few shots of soy sauce & mushrooms. Stir veggies and sauce around, then cover and put in the oven for 30 minutes.
5. Wait to cut into the pork- let it rest for 5 minutes.
6. Slice thinly and be sure to drizzle that yummy jus over your pork!
Moolicious!
