Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Number of servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

- 700-800 g pork shoulder (choose good quality meat for optimal taste)
- Olive oil (or other vegetable oil) – as needed to grease the baking dish
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 large carrot (adds a sweet flavor and vibrant color)
- 4-5 garlic cloves (for intense aroma)
- 1 tablespoon of oil (for the garlic sauce)
- A pinch of salt (to enhance the flavor of the sauce)
- Approximately 300 ml broth (choose natural broth, preferably homemade)
- Potatoes for garnish (for a perfect accompaniment)

Step by step:

1. Preparing the meat: Start by washing the pork shoulder well under cold running water. After washing the meat, pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess water. Then, cut the meat into thick slices about 1 cm thick. This will help the meat cook evenly.

2. Seasoning: Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the meat slices. These spices will help bring out the natural flavors of the meat.

3. Preparing the baking dish: Grease a baking dish with oil, making sure it is well coated to prevent the meat from sticking. Place the meat slices in a single layer, side by side.

4. Preparing the vegetables: Peel the carrot and wash it well. Cut it into thin rounds and evenly place them on top of the meat slices. The carrot will not only add a sweet taste but will also enhance the final appearance of the dish.

5. Preparing the garlic sauce: Peel and crush the garlic cloves. Mix the crushed garlic with a tablespoon of oil and a pinch of salt. Add the broth and mix well. This sauce will add an extra flavor to the roast.

6. Assembly: Pour the broth sauce over the meat and carrots in the baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil to retain the moisture of the meat during baking.

7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius. Place the dish in the oven and let it bake for 1 hour. It is important to check the meat after this period to ensure it is well cooked. If the broth reduces too much, you can add a little hot water to prevent the meat from drying out.

8. Finishing: Once the meat is cooked, remove the aluminum foil and let the roast stay in the oven for a few more minutes so that it develops a slightly crispy crust. This will add a pleasant contrast to the texture of the meat.

9. Preparing the garnish: While the roast finishes, you can prepare your favorite side dish. Mashed potatoes are an excellent choice, but you can also opt for roasted potatoes or sautéed vegetables.

10. Serving: Once the roast is ready, slice it and serve it alongside the chosen garnish. You can add a little chopped fresh parsley on top for an extra touch of color and flavor.

Useful tips:

- Frequently asked questions:
- *Can I use beef instead of pork?* Yes, but the cooking time will vary.
- *How can I tell if the meat is cooked?* Use a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should be around 70-75 degrees Celsius.

- Variations: You can also add other vegetables, such as onions or peppers, to enrich the dish. If you want a spicy note, add a little chili to the broth sauce.

- Nutritional benefits: Pork is rich in protein, B vitamins, and essential minerals, contributing to a balanced diet. The carrot provides an important source of vitamin A and antioxidants.

- Personal story: This recipe was passed down to me by my grandmother, who used to make it every Sunday, gathering the whole family around the table. The taste of the juicy meat and the aroma of garlic always brought smiles to our faces!

Serving suggestions: This pork roast with broth and garlic sauce pairs perfectly with a glass of red wine or freshly squeezed lemonade for a pleasant contrast.

In the end, don’t forget to enjoy every bite and create beautiful memories around the table. Bon appétit!
