Preparing the Pork Roast
To start, you'll need to select a pork shoulder for your roast. This cut of meat is ideal for slow cooking and will result in a tender and juicy roast. Begin by patting the pork shoulder dry with paper towels and then generously season it with a mixture of salt, garlic powder, and herbs of your choice. Let the roast sit and marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Choosing Your Vegetables
While the pork roast is marinating, take the time to select and prepare your vegetables. For this recipe, we recommend using root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and onions. These vegetables will add a delicious sweetness to the dish and will become perfectly tender when cooked with the pork roast.
Creating the Perfect Crust
One of the key elements of a delicious pork roast is a crispy and flavorful crust. To achieve this, you'll need to sear the pork roast in a hot pan before transferring it to the oven. This will create a caramelized exterior that will lock in the juices and add a depth of flavor to your roast.
Cooking and Serving
Once your pork roast is seared, transfer it to a roasting pan and add in your prepared vegetables. Cover the pan with foil and roast in the oven for 2-3 hours, depending on the size of your roast. The result will be a tender and flavorful pork roast with perfectly cooked vegetables.
