Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Boneless pork roast
- 1 kg Potatoes
- 3 Yellow onions
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 500 ml Chicken or vegetable stock
- 30 g Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 3-4 mm thick. Set aside in cold water to prevent browning.
Peel and slice the onions into thin rings. Mince the garlic.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the boneless pork roast on all sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Sauté the onions until soft and lightly caramelized, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, and bay leaves, and cook for 1 more minute. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Drain the potato slices and pat dry. In a large roasting dish, layer half of the potatoes, overlapping slightly. Spread half of the onion mixture over the potatoes. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and onions.
Nestle the seared pork roast on top of the potatoes and onions. Pour the chicken or vegetable stock into the dish, ensuring the liquid reaches about halfway up the potatoes.
Season the entire dish with the remaining salt and pepper.
Cover the roasting dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, remove the foil and continue baking for another 30-40 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked (internal temperature of 63°C or 145°F) and the potatoes are tender.
Once cooked, remove the pork roast from the dish and let it rest for 10 minutes, tented loosely with foil.
Slice the pork roast and serve alongside the potatoes and onions, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.
