Easy Sunday Pork Roast

pork roast

I’ve been watching a lot of Mad Men lately and really had a hankering for some of Betty Draper’s pork roast. I’ve been using this technique for roasts lately. Gets them all crusty and well seasoned without burning the herbs or garlic. Every time someone burns garlic on a pork roast a pig angel loses it’s wings. Then the human angels get bacon, which they like, but it’s no good for you and your family.

Ingredients

  • pork roast
  • canola oil
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper

Smash the garlic with the side of a knife and give it a rough chop. Give the sage, rosemary and thyme a rough chop as well. Add all that to a bowl with a tsp of salt and cover with olive oil. Leave to sit for 20 minutes, up to a few hours at room temp.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Take your pork roast and season liberally with salt. Heat up a large pan on high heat and add canola oil. Sear pork on all sides.

Put pork in a roasting pan and rub with oil and spices. Bake until you reach an internal temperature of 170°F.
