Time 3h15m

Yield 1 roast, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 lbs pork roast (deboned shoulder roast)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon caraway seed, ground
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 dash ground paprika

  • heat oil in a heavy roasting pan (enameled cast iron works well) on top of stove and brown carrots and leeks.
  • push vegetables aside and brown roast from all sides in the very very hot roasting pan.
  • ad onions INCLUDING the brown skins (this is VERY IMPORTANT since it will give your gravy an good color).
  • ad broth and transfer everything to the oven.
  • roast covered for 1 1/2 hours at 350°F.
  • uncover, stir onions and veggies.
  • turn roast over and roast uncovered for 1 hour (if liquid evaporates a lot, add some more occasionally.
  • once roasting time has finished transfer meat to a plate to rest.

  • strain all the liquid through a fine meshed strainer (stainless steel will work better then the plastic ones). Press solids vigorously with a spoon to press as much liquid (as well all solids that can get pressed through) through the strainer into a sauce pan and reduce slightly on high heat.
  • Slice roast into 1/2 thick slices and pour gravy liberally over everthing.
  • Best served with potato dumplings and sauerkraut.
