Pork Roast

[SillyMe]

How do you make yours? In the oven, in the crockpot? What seasonings do you use?

 

[ilovejack02]

oven and i buy them preseasoned so i dont have to do a thing. Now how is that for lazy cooking lol.

 

[crazelion]

I used some Mrs. Dash seasoning toss it in the oven,

Funny you ask... I have a 4lb roast in the crock post right now!!
First I seasoned it WELL with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Then I browned it all over high heat. She's cooking now with some beef broth and onion soup mix on high for 4 - 5 hours. Then I'll take it out, shred it up and cook it a little more with some homeade BBQ sauce. It will make some YUMMY sandwiches!

I just bought one preseasoned this morning, we're going to throw it on the grill a little later. I've never made one myself but a guy that I work with put one on the grill at work one day and it was fabulous!

any number of ways are good..


slow roasted in the oven, with a broiwn sugar and spice rub is good
mix 1/2 cup brown sugar with two tablespoons creole seasoning, pat into raw meat generously, wrap in foil, place in roasting dish( or cake pan, or somethingto catch the juices anyways) then roast at 225 for about 4 hours


or.. mix 3 tbs brown ssugar in honey, addsalt and pepper, then place in a covered roaster for 3-4 hours at 250 reglazinmg as needed

or classic pot roast style,
using a large covered pot, fry off 2 cloves of garlic and 1/2 of an onion till lightly toasted, ( i use butter or margarine to fry in) add roast and turn to sera all sides
cover and let simmer on low heat for about 15 min per side, thasn add cut up potatoes, carrots, the rest of the onion, and water.
bring to rolling boil,
reduce heat to simmer, cover and let cook for three to 4 hours
remove lid, add one can of sweet peas, or 1/2 bag frozen peas, bring back to a boil for a few min and serve.

I season it with salt and pepper and then "set it and forget". Honestly, I haven't found anything quite as tasty as a pork roast in the Showtime Rotisserie. It stays juicy and is fork-tender. Wow, I wish I had one now.

Mmmmm, pork roast! We had pork crown roast for Christmas.... Tasty!
We seasoned it well with salt, pepper and seasoned salt. Then cut tiny slits throughout and inserted slices of garlic. Mmmmmm... Must eat now.....

I buy super lean pork loin roasts, I season with coarse garlic salt, and dill. Then just bake an hour at 350, stand and slice.
Dill or taragon are my favorite spices with pork.

When I make pork roast and sauerkraut, I cook it all in the slow cooker together. I brown the pork roast first, then I mix up the sauerkraut, a bottle of beer (something brown and nutty... I like to use a honey lager, but plain 'ole Bud will work, too), a couple cloves of garlic, and a little brown mustard. Then I put the roast in the crock pot with the kraut and stuff, and cook it for like 8 hrs on low. It is soooooooo good.

Line a glass baking dish with saurkraut, place pork on top, slice a vadalia or sweet onion or two, place onion on top of pork, cover with aluminum foil, roast at 350 until done, which depends on the size of the roast. Uncover the last 15 minutes of roasting.

oh yeah,, never ever ever buy "super lean, extra lean" pork. it has almost o flavor, and 90% of the time hasatendancy to be much tougher than the fattier pieces,

 

[LukenDC]

I make mine in the oven and cover the outside with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. I let it cook until it is falling apart and usually serve with tortillas, cheese, and cilantro.

I once read in a Fix It and Forget It recipe book to buy the cheapest cuts of meat when using a crockpot and that's proven to be true!

I buy a big cheap pork shoulder or pork butt -- isn't that the same thing? Anyway, I salt & pepper it, brown it, then put it in the crockpot with a cup of water & a sliced onion. Cook it on high for 2 hours, then low for 6-8. It's falling apart and so delicious by the time it's done. Then I make a gravy out of the stock. YUM!

Super lean pork has tons of flavor! There is just no need to over cook it. Obviously not the cut i would chose for a crock pot. But is perfect for a standing "roast".

shoulder is the thick meaty section at the top of the front legs,, butt,, well thats the other end,,,lol

I put mine in a oven roasting bag (like a turkey bag) with onion soup mix. Tender and moist........yum!

I've used this recipe before and it's sooo yummy.



Cochinita Pibil: Baked Marinated Pork
This is the quintessential Yucatecan dish, from a region that is quite possibly the "capital" of leaf-wrapped foods. The color and flavor of the marinade are characterized by achiote, or annatto seed. This succulent baked pork is worth trying even without banana leaves, though the taste will not be exactly the same. Simply omit the leaves and cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.

Ingredients:


2 banana leaves, passed over a flame to soften
4 lbs. pork leg
200 grams (2 bricks, about 4 ounces each) achiote paste
1 cup bitter orange juice, or use half sweet orange juice and half vinegar
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon crumbled, dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large allspice berries, coarsely ground
4 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons melted lard or corn oil
Preparation:


Line the bottom of a large baking dish with banana leaves, one lengthwise and one widthwise, letting them hang over the sides of the dish so that they may be folded over the pork. Place the pork on the leaves.

Dissolve the achiote paste in the orange juice, add the remaining ingredients except the lard or oil, and mix well.

Pour the marinade over the pork, fold the banana leaves over all and place in the refrigerator to marinate, at least 8 hours and preferably overnight, turning once.

Fold back the banana leaves, drizzle the melted lard or corn oil over the pork, fold the leaves back over the pork and cover all tightly with aluminum foil. (Do not drain the marinade; this dish gets cooked in it, making it steamed rather than roasted.)

Place in a preheated 350º oven for 1½ hours, or until the meat is falling-apart tender. Remove the foil, fold back the banana leaves, and use two forks to pull the meat apart into shreds.

Serve with red onion rings marinated in orange juice vinaigrette and plenty of hot corn tortillas to make tacos.

Serves 8-10.
