Treat your ingredients with care...
- Pork roast — Choose a well-marbled cut of pork, such as pork shoulder or pork loin, for the best flavor and tenderness.
- Milk — Use whole milk for a rich and creamy sauce. Avoid using low-fat or skim milk, as they may not provide the same level of richness.
Tips & Tricks
- For added flavor, marinate the pork roast in the spice rub overnight before cooking.
- If the sauce is too thin after cooking, you can strain it and reduce it on the stovetop until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Serve the pork roast with roasted potatoes or creamy polenta to complement the flavors.
Serving advice
Serve the sliced pork roast on a platter, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs for an elegant touch. Accompany with your choice of side dishes and enjoy!
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, arrange the sliced pork roast on a bed of creamy polenta or mashed potatoes. Drizzle some of the sauce around the plate and garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
