• ad broth and transfer everything to the oven.
• roast covered for 1 1/2 hours at 350°F.
• uncover, stir onions and veggies.
• turn roast over and roast uncovered for 1 hour (if liquid evaporates a lot, add some more occasionally.

• strain all the liquid through a fine meshed strainer (stainless steel will work better then the plastic ones). Press solids vigorously with a spoon to press as much liquid (as well all solids that can get pressed through) through the strainer into a sauce pan and reduce slightly on high heat.
• Slice roast into 1/2 thick slices and pour gravy liberally over everthing.
• Best served with potato dumplings and sauerkraut.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175C). Place about 2 - 3 tbsp. of selected oil into a frying pan and begin to heat. Slice one clove of garlic and place into oil. Saute slightly. Rub down loin with salt and pepper. When oil is hot, place into pan and lightly brown. Repeat on all sides. Slice onions into thin rings and line bottom of roasting pan with the onions, carrots, remaining garlic clove, and some apple chunks. Place browned meat onto vegetables, fatty side down. Sprinkle meat with caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Lay the garlic from fry pan over the meat - do not add oil! Place bacon slices over top. Add 1/2 cup of liquid of your choice - wine, beer, broth or water. If adding juice instead of apples, add it now. Cover with lid and place in preheated oven. Cook for about 30 minutes, turn meat over. Baste with about a 1/2 cup more of fresh liquid, as well as pan liquid. Cook for another 15 minutes, add 1/2 cup more liquid, baste, and add in 1 vegetable bouillon cube. Cook until internal temperature is at least 160 degrees - about another 15 - 20 minutes. Remove meat to plate and keep warm. Strain juices into a pan and add more liquid if necessary. Place sauce pan on stove, at about medium high heat, and add in 2 tsp. cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup of water. Boil, stirring constantly, until thickened. Reduce heat and add sour cream if desired. Mix through. Slice meat thinly, and drizzle some sauce over it. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Season pork loin with salt, black pepper, paprika, and caraway seeds; spread mustard over pork.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; fry pork until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer pork to a large roasting pan. Add onion, carrots, celeriac, and spring onion to the same skillet used to fry pork; cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Spread vegetable mixture around pork in roasting pan.
• Pour 1 cup hot water into the skillet used to cook the pork and vegetables; simmer and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom with a spatula. Pour water over pork.
• Bake in preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, 2 1/2 to 3 hours, basting often. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). If vegetables become dry, add 1 cup hot water, or as needed.
• Transfer pork roast to a large platter and keep warm. Strain remaining liquid through a sieve into a saucepan; reserve vegetables.
• Bring liquid to a boil and add butter and cornstarch; simmer until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Slice pork and serve with sauce and vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Rub the entire roast all over with the oil and sprinkle with caraway, salt, pepper.
• Let stand for one hour.
• Spray your roasting pan with cooking spray.
• Place the vegetables into roasting pan and pour liquid of choice.
• Place the roast, fat side down, in the roasting pan on top of the vegetables.
• Cover tightly and roast for one hour.
• Remove from oven, uncover and turn roast fat side up.
• Cut decorative diamonds into the fat, insert meat thermometer and replace, uncovered, back into the oven for approximately 2 hours or until meat thermometer reads 165°F.
• Remove from oven and take out of roaster; cover with foil to preserve temperature, and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove and save the vegetables to serve on the side.
• Measure pan juices; add enough chosen liquid (water, wine, stock, or beer) to make 2 cups.
• Make a roux by blending the flour and butter together very well in a saucepan; add the pan juices and bring to a simmer.
• Slice the roast thinly and serve with the gravy on the side.
• For additional richness, the gravy may be finished with a little butter, cream or sour cream.
