A delightful pork roast recipe infused with aromatic herbs and complemented by sweet and tangy flavors.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Heat a large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat and sear the pork roast on all sides until browned.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a rich flavor to the meat.
Add the sliced onions to the pot and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the onions from burning.
Mix the barbecue sauce, apple cider, and thyme in a bowl.
Combine thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well blended.
Pour the sauce over the pork and onions in the pot.
Ensure the pork is well coated with the sauce.
Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 2 hours.
Check occasionally to ensure the sauce doesn't dry out.
Add the apples and prunes to the pot and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
The fruits will add a sweet and tangy flavor to the dish.
Remove the pot from the oven and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat tender.
Serve the pork slices with the sauce, apples, and prunes. Enjoy your meal!
Garnish with fresh thyme for an elegant presentation.
