Ingredients 14
2.25 pounds boneless pork loin roast
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
0.5 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 teaspoons grainy mustard
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion, quartered
2 carrots
0.125 celeriac (celery root), chopped
1 spring onion, chopped
2 cups water, or as needed - divided
2 tablespoons butter, or to taste
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
2
Season the pork loin with salt, black pepper, paprika, and caraway seeds, then rub mustard over the meat.
-
3
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; fry pork until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Move the pork into 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 the vegetable mixture all around the pork in the roasting pan.

4
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 the water right over the pork.
-
5
Bake in preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, 2 1/2 to 3 hours, basting often. An instant-read meat 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.
-
6
Transfer the pork roast onto a large platter and keep it warm. Strain remaining liquid through a sieve into a saucepan; reserve vegetables.
-
7
Bring the liquid to a boil, stir in butter and cornstarch, and simmer until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Slice pork and serve with sauce and vegetables.
