Roast Pork with Thyme and Garlic
Ingredients
  • 5 pounds pork roast, trimmed
  • 3 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to a moderate temperature of 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2
Carefully make a small incision in the top of the roast to allow for even penetration.
3
Add a few slices of garlic to the incision, ensuring they are evenly distributed and will cook thoroughly.
4
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the roast to enhance flavor.
5
Place two or three bay leaves at the bottom of a roasting pan to add depth to the dish.
6
Position the roast, fat side facing upwards, on top of the bay leaves in the roasting pan.
7
Mix a small amount of cider vinegar with some thyme leaves in a tiny bowl; then, pour the mixture over the roast.
8
Place the roast in the preheated oven and continue baking until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), approximately a period of three hours.
9
Every now and then, use a baster or spoon to redistribute the juices over the roast.
10
Once cooked, allow the roast to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
