Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy crust.
In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the pork roast.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork roast on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the pork roast and set aside. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Place the pork roast back into the pot on top of the vegetables. Pour in chicken broth.
Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Roast for 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted vegetables and pan juices.
Chef's Tips
- Crispy Crust Tip: For an extra crispy crust, broil the pork roast for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Herb Variations: Substitute rosemary and thyme with sage or oregano for a different flavor profile.
- Resting Time: Allowing the pork to rest ensures the juices redistribute, making it more tender.
- Vegetables: Add potatoes or parsnips to the pot for a complete meal.
- Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently to maintain moisture.
