Pork Roast with Apples and Sweet Potatoes | Everyday Food with Sarah Carey

A pork roast might just be the easiest thing you can make for dinner. Put it in a pan, put that pan in the oven, and you're practically done! We gussied this one up a bit by adding two seasonal ingredients: Apples and sweet potatoes. Tossed with a bit of olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper, they roast in the pan right along side the pork roast.

Sarah's Tip of the Day:
Watch the video and I'll show you how to trim and tie your pork roast. Plus, when it's done cooking, I'll show you how to make a quick sauce using just some flour, chicken broth, and your pan drippings. Flavor magic!

Can you use Medeira wine if you don't have stock on hand??

[taqwaoleksandr]

Awesome recipe Sarah! I don't eat pork so I made it with lamb and turns out amazing! :)

[YinzerTracy]

Thanks. I noticed at the store last night that some are already "tied." Thanks for your response. :)

[saidboujeeane]

Why on earth would you throw away that fat.

[YinzerTracy]

I don't understand what tying the meat does. I know she said "makes it compact, " but why?

[lunasek]

looks yummy I WI try it and tne sauce too

[stacylamb]

Sarah, do you know of a gluten free flour I can use . I am sensitive to gluten.

I think it's just to make sure everything is even. Don't think it's a mandatory step, just ensures that the whole roast is circular instead of ovular (? is that even a word)... that's just my guess though. especially since she only recommends cooking it to 138 (so it reaches 145 after carryover heat).

[Cinco-da-mayo]

Cut the twine at least before serving? You don't want ppl to floss it??

Sweetiebutt liked this, so I'm going to do the same. #mimicNatusumiiiftw

Why Can't women take off their jewelry while preparing food??? Especially since she runs her own Resto. It Looks great but my EX WIFE did the same thing and it drove me up the wall. I just kept thinking of all that bacteria under the rings... and she was playing with the PORK.
