Pork Roast with Strawberry Onion Sauce


Hallo Fruhling. Pork slow roasted for four hours with new red potatoes and garnished with Strawberry Onion Sauce and steamed asparagus. It's easy:



You need:

The Pork Rub:
-1 part Paprika
-1/2 part Cinnamon
-1 part Sea Salt
-1/2 part pepper
-1/2 part cumin

If you have kitchen twine, tie your pork roast so that it doesn't loose all the moisture in the oven, then roll it in the rub while your pan is heating up. Pre-heat the oven to 225 degrees.

The Rest of the Recipe:
-1/2 lb. red potatoes
-1 large onion, sliced
-1 shallot, diced
-1 1/2 C. Fozen Strawberries, or fresh if they're in season
-1 pork roast
-8oz chicken stock
-Dry White Wine
-Olive Oil/ Butter
-Fresh asparagus
-Salt/Pepper
-2 whole garlic cloves

Heat olive oil/butter in pan until smoking and then proceed to sear the pork roast for two minutes on every side (yes, even the ends and I don't want any bitching when you burn yourself.) Place your roast on a pan and then into the oven with the potatoes and garlic cloves and two nobs of butter. With the pan used to sear the pork roast proceed to caramelize the onions and shallots adding more oil if needed, about 15 minutes on medium heat. Once browned crank up the flame and de-glaze with a dash of white wine and then add the strawberries and bring to a boil for another three minutes. Add the chicken stock and lower the heat, let this mixture simmer on low until it is thick enough to slowly slide down the side of a spoon. Put aside until the pork roast reaches an internal temperature 150 degrees. Once finished let the roast rest for ten minutes, meanwhile blanching asparagus in boiling salted water for 1 1/2 minutes. Salt everything accordingly!
