Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 2 min.
Pork roast with herbs
Prepare 2 kgs pork meat by salting and peppering on both sides.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Stage 6 - 4 hours

After this time, take the meat out of the oven. It will have given off delicious juices. Turn the oven up to 360°F (180°C).

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Take the meat out of the bag. Remove and discard the bones.

You will see how tender the meat is as it can be simply pulled apart with a fork.

Take the potatoes out of the bag and transfer to the dish.

Stage 9 - 2 min.
Pork roast with herbs
Pour off and keep the cooking juices.

Serve either straight onto the table, or plated up.
Remarks
This cooking method can be used for other meats (beef, veal), still with cheaper cuts.

You can improve this recipe even further by browning the meat briefly on both sides in a frying pan before putting it in its roasting bag.
Keeping
Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
