Ingredients

  • 3 lbs boneless pork loin roast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 large carrot, finely chopped
  • 1 large leek, finely chopped (white part only)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 sprig parsley
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  • Tie parsley, thyme, and bay leaf together to make a bouquet garni.
  • Season the pork with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and add the butter. Brown the roast on all sides (6 to 7 minutes total).
  • Remove roast from pan and set aside. Add onion, carrot, leak, and garlic to pan and stir over high heat until soft (10 minutes or so).
  • Add the flour stirring constantly and cook for 2 minutes, then slowly add the milk and bouquet garni and bring to a boil.
  • Let simmer for 5 minutes then add the roast. Cover and cook over low heat for 1 hour making sure to rotate the pork every 15-20 minutes to prevent scorching. Remove the pork and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
  • While the pork is resting, remove the bouquet garni, and strain the cooking liquid into a small pot and bring to a boil. Using a hand blender or food processor, puree the sauce until foamy, and adjust seasoning to taste with salt & pepper.
  • Carve the roast and spoon sauce over and around.
