I've got just the one: honey mustard roast pork. This sweet-savory dish delivers tender, juicy meat with a caramelized glaze that's sure to delight.
With minimal prep and everyday ingredients, it's as easy on your wallet as it is on your schedule. Here's how to make it:
Contents Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 60-90 mins | Serves: 6
1. Preheat oven to 180°C (thermostat 6).
2. Butter a baking dish.
3. Finely chop the onion.
4. Mix honey and mustard in a bowl.
5. Brush the mixture over the roast.
6. Place roast in the dish.
7. Strip thyme leaves over the meat.
8. Add chopped onion, nutmeg, and wine to the dish.
9. Season with salt and pepper.
10. Roast for 1.5 hours.
Your honey mustard roast pork is ready – tender, moist, and irresistibly caramelized.
Slow cooking keeps the pork juicy, while thyme adds herbal notes and wine brings subtle acidity. The honey-onion sauce is creamy and sweet, pairing perfectly.
I served this to guests once, and kids and adults raved about it. Serve with bread to mop up the sauce!
- Baste the roast with a splash of water every 30 minutes to keep it moist.
- Check doneness after 60 minutes to avoid drying out.
- Use whole-grain mustard for the best flavor.
- Pair with herb-roasted potatoes, garlic-rosemary crisps, or add potato chunks to the dish after an hour.
- For crispy skin, try this finishing trick under the broiler.
