Mediterranean Roast Pork
- 3 pounds Pork Butt Roast (Boston Roast)
- 4 Tablespoons Brown Rice Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 can (10-14 Oz. Size) Chicken Broth
- 4 ounces, weight Pitted Black Olives (small Can, With Brine)
- 1 whole Onion, Diced
- 1 whole Lemon Thinly Sliced
- 2 Tablespoons Dry Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- First wash and rinse the pork roast.
- Leave the fat and bone intact.
- Coat the wet roast with the rice flour so all surfaces of the roast are evenly floured.
- Set aside.
- Coat the bottom of a large Dutch oven/cast iron casserole with the olive oil.
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the warm oil for just a minute.
- Once garlic is soft and tan, add the roast on top of the warm oil to brown the bottom of the roast.
- Turn the roast after 4 minutes on each side, to brown the entire surface evenly.
- This will take 12-15 minutes, total on stove top.
- Once roast is browned, turn off the stove top heat.
- Make sure the roast is turned in the pan so that the fat-side is facing up.
- Add the chicken broth to the pan.
- (Be careful not to touch the casserole, it will be very hot.)
- Carefully add the entire contents (including brine) of the olive can to the broth.
- Add the onion and lemon and sprinkle the oregano and red pepper over the top.
- Cover pan with a lid or a sheet of foil.
- Carefully transfer the pan to the oven.
- (It will be hot!)
- Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.
- Reduce heat to 275 F. Bake at 275 F (low heat) for 6 hours.
