  1. Laissez le rôti de porc reposer à température ambiante pendant 30 minutes et essuyez-le.

    Allow the pork roast to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes and pat dry.

  2. Préchauffez le four à 170 °C. Préparez un plat à four ou une casserole en fonte.

    Preheat the oven to 170 °C. Prepare a baking dish or Dutch oven.

  3. Mélangez huile d'olive, ail écrasé, romarin, sel et poivre. Enrobez-le tout autour du rôti.

    Mix oil, crushed garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub all over the roast.

  4. Cuisson à sec : Faites revenir le rôti dans une poêle très chaude pendant 2–3 minutes par côté pour le brunir.

    Sear the roast in a very hot pan for 2–3 minutes per side to brown.

  5. Mettre le rôti dans le plat à four. Ajoutez 250 ml d'eau de cuisson au fond (ne le noyez pas le rôti).

    Transfer to the oven dish. Add 250 ml stock to the bottom (do not submerge the roast).

  6. Si la poêle sèche, ajoutez 50–100 ml d'eau de cuisson supplémentaire.

    If the pan dries out, add 50–100 ml more stock.

  7. Faites cuire environ 2 heures en remuant tous les 30 minutes avec les jus de cuisson.

    Roast about 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices.

  8. Retirez à une température interne de 63 °C (145 °F).

    Remove at 63 °C (145 °F) internal temperature.

  9. Reposez 15 minutes, recouvert de film alimentaire pliable, puis coupez contre le grain.

    Rest 15 minutes, loosely covered, then slice against the grain.

  10. Sauce rapide facultative : déglacez avec un coup de stock, grattage des morceaux brunis et réduisez pendant 3–5 minutes.

    Optional quick pan sauce: deglaze with a splash of stock, scrape browned bits, and reduce 3–5 minutes.

Our Tips

Chef's tips for making this recipe

To elevate the flavors of this dish even further, try adding a bit of Dijon mustard to your marinade. It brings a subtle tanginess that complements the roast beautifully. Before slow-cooking, sear the meat on all sides in a hot pan to lock in the juices and ensure a tender, flavorful result. You can also add a splash of white wine during cooking; its acidity balances the richness of the pork and enhances the overall taste. If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or store them in an airtight container to maintain their flavor and texture for a few days in the fridge. When reheating, do so gently in the oven at a low temperature to keep the meat juicy and tender.
