Wine-Braised Pork
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons bacon drippings
  • 3 pounds pork roast
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups red wine
  • 16 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a moderate heat setting of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (or 165 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
In a large skillet, heat the bacon drippings over high heat until they start to sizzle. Brown the roast on all sides, making sure it's nicely seared. Transfer the roast to a suitable casserole dish.
3
In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and continue cooking over medium heat.
4
Add a handful of fresh parsley, a bay leaf, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir in some tomato paste and sugar to give it a rich flavor. Pour in a glass of red wine, stirring everything together until well combined.
5
Place the roast back into the casserole dish and pour the wine-based sauce over it.
6
Bake the roast in your preheated oven for a period of 1 hour.
7
Remove the roast from the oven and arrange some sliced mushrooms around it. Return the roast to the oven, and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
