Roast in the bag pork with fondant vegetables.
Roasting "in the bag" is a simple but long method. The meat is sealed in a bag and cooked slowly at moderate temperature, keeping it very tender and with an amazing flavour.
Meat cooked like this produces delicious juicies without adding anything else. These can be used to cook vegetables to a melting texture as a perfect accompaniment for the meat.
This recipe might look complicated, but it is really very simple, just a bit long, and the flavour and texture are out of this world.

Stage 1 - 1 min.
Buy a decent pork joint from your butcher. This piece is about 1.5 kg (about 3 lb), but the weight is not really important for this method.
If possible, ask for a lightly salted joint, so you will not need to add any salt, just pepper.
If the meat is unsalted, add both salt and pepper.

After its long, slow cooking, the meat will have browned and will be sitting in its juices.

Remarks
This is one of those slow-cooked recipes where there is next to nothing to do to the meat, but where the result is amazing.
You can use the same method for other meats such as veal or beef, the effect will be the same.
If you don't have a roasting bag, you can use a dish with a close-fitting lid, or seal around the lid.
Of course, you can use other vegetables than those indicated here, but they should be in season.
