The Ultimate Garlic-Mustard Pork Roast Extravaganza
Introduction:
Hold onto your forks, folks, because we're about to embark on a flavor-filled journey with the Ultimate Garlic-Mustard Pork Roast!
This recipe starts with a hefty 2.5-kilogram pork shoulder that's about to become the star of your dinner table.
We’ve taken garlic cloves, sliced them up, and snuggled them into little pockets in the meat – think of it as a garlic spa treatment for pork.
Next, we’ve slathered it in mustard and barbecue sauce – it's like a flavor party on the pork’s surface!
But wait, there’s more: we’ve seasoned it with a fresh pepper blend that’ll give your taste buds a delightful tingle.
After a cozy two-hour roast in the oven, your pork shoulder will be as tender as a hug and as flavorful as a symphony.
So, put on your apron and get ready for a roast that’s guaranteed to make your taste buds sing!
Ingredients:
- 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) pork shoulder (the bigger, the better)
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled and ready for action
- 4 tablespoons mustard (the zippier, the better)
- 4 tablespoons barbecue sauce (the more, the merrier)
- 5 tablespoons freshly ground mixed peppercorns (for that extra zing)
- Salt, because everything needs a little salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) – time to get things cooking!
- Grab a knife and make some nifty slits all over your pork shoulder. Stuff those garlic slices into the slits like you're tucking in little garlic pillows.
- Slather the pork with mustard like you’re painting a masterpiece. Make sure it’s fully coated!
- Brush that glorious barbecue sauce all over the mustard-coated pork. No need to be neat – messy is good.
- Sprinkle the freshly ground peppercorns and a bit of salt all over the pork. It’s like giving your pork a flavor makeover.
- Place the pork in a roasting pan and cover it with foil. The foil is like a warm blanket for the pork.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the pork is tender and its internal temperature hits 70°C (160°F). It’s the ultimate test of patience, but oh so worth it!
- Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of roasting to let the pork develop a crispy, caramelized crust. You want that golden, crunchy goodness.
- Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing. It’s like giving the pork a little nap after all that roasting.
- Serve with your favorite sides and watch as everyone devours it with gusto!
