Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork shoulder roast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 Carrot, chopped
- 1 Celery stalk, chopped
- 1 Bay leaf
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and dried thyme.
Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, then evenly massage the spice mix into the meat.
Place the pork shoulder into a roasting pan, fat side up.
Add the chopped carrot, celery, and the bay leaf around the pork in the pan.
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for approximately 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once the pork is done, remove it from the pan and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
For the gravy, pour the drippings from the roasting pan into a saucepan, removing the bay leaf.
Bring the drippings to a simmer over medium heat.
Whisk in the coconut flour slowly to thicken the gravy, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until it reaches your desired consistency.
Serve the roast pork sliced with the Paleo-friendly gravy drizzled on top.
