Found in: Guide To Travel in France and All Things French. The intro reads: "This recipe is good, and simple. I like making the gravy half way through like this to avoid some of the last minute panic.". Sounds delicious to me.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: A pork shoulder or pork butt is the best cut for French roast pork. It is a fatty cut that will become tender and juicy when cooked slowly.
- Score the pork: Scoring the pork helps the marinade to penetrate the meat and also helps the pork to cook more evenly.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork for at least 2 hours, or overnight, helps to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
- Cook the pork slowly: French roast pork is traditionally cooked in a Dutch oven in the oven at a low temperature for several hours. This allows the meat to become fall-apart tender.
- Baste the pork: Basting the pork with the marinade or pan juices helps to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Let the pork rest before serving: Letting the pork rest for 10-15 minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
French roast pork is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual family dinner. It is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
