Pork and Roasted Winter Vegetables
BECKY LUIGART-STAYNER
Browning the pork completely provides the rich flavor once the juices are reduced. You can use any combination of winter vegetables.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°.
Step 2
To prepare the roasted vegetables, place first 7 ingredients in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Bake at 450° for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
To prepare pork, trim fat from pork; cut into 2-inch cubes. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half of pork, and sauté 5 minutes or until pork is browned on all sides. Remove from pan. Repeat procedure with 1 teaspoon oil and remaining pork. Return browned pork to pan; add 1/4 teaspoon salt, wine, thyme, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour. Uncover, bring to a boil, and simmer until the liquid is reduced (about 5 minutes). Serve pork with roasted vegetables.

Barbawana's Review
I've made the vegetables before and they really are fantastic. I've just never made both the veggies and the pork together. Not sure I should be rating the pork the way I made it but....I used a 5lb roast and did not cut up. Browned roast in dutch oven, added a can of chk broth and rosemary to liquid, and put in 300 deg over for 4 hrs. It was fantastic! Served with the au jus, mashed sweet potato, and roasted asparagus. My 4 dinner guests and husband couldn't stop raving!!!
Best pork dinner!
