Fall Apart Pork Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Make small slits all over the roast then insert a whole garlic clove into each slit (this is only optional).
• Place the roast in a greased casserole dish with a lid.
• Sprinkle the roast on all sides with Worcestershire sauce.
• Let sit at room temperature for 1-1/2 hours.
• After 1-1/2 hours spoon any Worcestershire sauce (if any) back on the roast that has accumulated on the bottom of the casserole.
• Using hands press the brown sugar well into the meat on all sides making certain to adhear the sugar to the meat.
• Pour the apple juice into the bottom of the casserole.
• Cover tightly.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F for 15 minutes.
• Place the roast in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature down to 200 degrees F.
• Roast for about 4 hours or until the meat is falling-apart tender (cooking time will vary depending on the size of the roast).
• Stir the salt and black pepper into the juice (do not omit the salt!).
• Slice meat as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F for 15 minutes.
• Coat roasting pan in non-stick spray (optional - it helps in removing the roast).
• Put 1/3 can of pork (or chicken) base into the bottom of the pan.
• Add hard cider to the pan.
• Lightly Coat pork roast in dry rub, saving about 1 tbsp for later. Choose your favorite. I used a rub called "Butt Rub", made specifically for pork.
• Place roast in pan and drench with another 1/3 can of broth - discard the rest.
• Chop celery and carrots into 1" long chunks (carrots may need to be halved) and add around the sides of the roast.
• Chop green onions into 1/2" bits, and sprinkle around the outside of the roast, over the other veggies.
• Reduce oven heat to 200 degrees.
• Cover roast with aluminum foil.
• Place roast in oven, and roast for 90 minutes.
• After 90 minutes, baste roast, and add minced garlic, onion powder and half of the remaining dry rub to the top of the roast.
• Re-cover roast and place back in the oven for another 90 minutes.
• After the second 90 minutes, re-baste roast and remove foil.
• Sprinkle the remaining dry rub and paprika on top of the roast.
• Roast uncovered for another 30-45 minutes or until internal temperature is 170 degrees F.
• Remove roast from the oven, and slice thick. Serve veggies from the roast on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a mortar, smash together 1/4 cup of garlic powder, 1/4 cup of onion powder, the crushed red pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon of cracked black pepper until the mixture forms a fine powder. Place the spice mix into a large shallow bowl.
• Inject the pork roast all over with the Creole marinade; blot moisture from the outside of the roast. Rub the spice mix all over the pork roast to thoroughly coat. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook and stir the shallots and elephant garlic until the garlic becomes lightly golden brown. Sear the coated pork roast in the hot butter on all sides until the spice coating is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Place the roast into a roasting pan or Dutch oven with the fat side up; scrape up the butter, cooked shallots and garlic, and sprinkle around the roast. Arrange the sweet onions, red potatoes, carrots, and celery pieces around the roast. Mix 1 cup of water with the remaining spice rub, and pour evenly over roast.
• Cover the roasting pan with a lid, and cook in the preheated oven until the meat is very tender, 3 3/4 to 4 hours.
• Remove the roast and set aside on a serving platter; surround the meat with the cooked vegetables. Whisk 1 tablespoon of cracked black pepper, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, and the brown gravy mix together with 2 cups of water in a bowl, and whisk the mixture into the liquid left in the roasting pan. Place the pan over medium heat, and cook, whisking constantly, until the gravy has come to a boil and has thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve alongside the roast and vegetables.

Steps:

• Toss together the onion powder, parsley, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, seasoned salt, 1 1/2 tablespoons black pepper, marjoram, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large, resealable plastic bag. Add the cubed pork, toss until well coated, then seal, and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a 9x9 inch baking dish with half of the spinach leaves.
• Pack the marinated pork into the baking dish, and cover with the remaining spinach leaves. Cover the pan with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours, or until the pork is tender.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently until the flour has toasted. Scrape into a heatproof dish, and set aside. Melt the butter in the pot, and stir in the onions and celery. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cook until tender; stir the flour mixture back into the pot to coat the vegetables.
• Pour in the beef broth, stewed tomatoes, cooked pork and spinach, bay leaves, red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Simmer 1 1/2 hours.
• Stir in the butter beans, yellow squash, and zucchini. Simmer 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
