Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ 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

  • ½ teaspoon caraway seeds

  • 2 teaspoons grainy mustard

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 large onion, quartered

  • 2 carrots

  • celeriac (celery root), chopped

  • 1 spring onion, chopped

  • 2 cups water, or as needed - divided

  • 2 tablespoons butter, or to taste

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Season pork loin with salt, black pepper, paprika, and caraway seeds; spread mustard over pork.

  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; fry pork until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer pork to 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 vegetable mixture around pork in 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 water over 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 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 pork roast to a large platter and keep warm. Strain remaining liquid through a sieve into a saucepan; reserve vegetables.

  7. Bring liquid to a boil and add butter and cornstarch; simmer until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Slice pork and serve with sauce and vegetables.
