Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 190 °C convection. Take the roast out of the fridge, remove the string if needed and pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. Season the roast

    Rub the roast all over with the dried thyme (1 tsp), salt and pepper.

  3. Sear the roast

    Heat the 2 tbsp of olive oil in the Dutch oven over high heat. Sear the roast 2 to 3 min per side, until nicely browned.

    Tip · Don't flip the roast too soon, it lets go of the pot on its own once it's nicely browned.
  4. Into the oven

    Put the Dutch oven in the oven, uncovered, for 45 min. The pork should be cooked through, with no pink, at least 70 °C inside.

  5. Prep the celery root

    Peel the celery root (320 g) with the vegetable peeler and cut it into 2 cm cubes. Drop them into a saucepan of cold salted water.

  6. Cook the celery root

    Bring the water to a boil, then cook over medium heat until a knife slides in with no resistance. Drain well in the colander.

    Tip · Start from cold salted water and check doneness with the tip of a knife, the celery root should be very tender for a smooth mash.
  7. Add the apples

    Cut the 2 apples into wedges, skin on, seeds removed. After 30 min in the oven, scatter them around the roast and keep cooking.

  8. Mash

    Mash the drained celery root with the butter (15 g) and crème fraîche (11 cl). Season with salt and pepper and keep warm in the covered saucepan.

  9. Let the roast rest

    Take out the Dutch oven, cover the roast with foil and let it rest 10 min. Then slice it and spoon the pan juices over it.

  10. Plate up

    Divide the mash, pork slices and roasted apples between two plates. Drizzle with the juices from the pot.

And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
