Texas Wild Pork Roast For Two Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut pork into 3 to 4-inch thick slices and lay the slices on heavy duty aluminum foil supported by baking sheets. Rub salt and pepper into the meat. In a small bowl whisk together hot sauce, vinegar and vegetable oil, and brush onto surface of meat on both sides. Use plastic or latex gloves to handle habaneros and protect your eyes and nose from the "fumes." Slice the peppers and lay them and the bay leaves on top of the pork. Wrap the pork in foil, sealing all the seams. Roast slowly in oven until fork tender, about 2 hours, or over an open fire.

Steps:

• Combine pork loin, mushrooms, lemon juice, onion, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a slow cooker. Pour beer on top.
• Cook on Low until pork is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a food processor, combine garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, thyme leaves and mustard.
• Spread the mixture over the pork and allow it to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• In the meantime, slice fennel bulbs into thick wedges.
• Toss the fennel, carrots, potatoes, and onions in olive oil, melted butter, salt, and pepper to taste.
• Place the vegetables in a large roasting pan and cook for 30 minutes.
• Place the pork loin on top of the roasted vegetables and continue to cook for another 30 to 50 minutes (or when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loin reads 138 degrees.).
• Remove the meat from the pan and return the vegetables to the oven to keep cooking.
• Cover the meat with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for 15 minutes.
• Remove the strings from the meat and slice it thickly.
• Arrange the meat and vegetables on a platter.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
• Enjoy warm!
