Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Prep the roast

    Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Season the 500 g pork roast with salt and pepper on all sides, then rub it with the dried thyme.

  2. Sear the roast

    Melt 10 g of butter in the Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides.

  3. Into the oven

    Put the Dutch oven in the oven at 180 °C. After 45 min, brush the roast with 1 tbsp of honey and put it back in for 10 min. The pork should be cooked through, with no pink, at least 70 °C inside.

    Tip · Only add the honey for the last 10 minutes, or it burns and turns bitter.

  4. Cook the celery root

    Peel the 320 g of celery root and cut it into 2 cm cubes. Drop them into a saucepan of salted boiling water and cook until a knife slides through easily.

  5. Cook the green beans

    Lift the celery root out with the slotted spoon and keep it in the colander. Trim the 190 g of green beans and cook them 8 min in the same boiling water. Drain them, put them back in the saucepan and cover to keep them warm.

  6. Mash

    Mash the celery root in the mixing bowl with the potato masher. Add 10 g of butter, the 65 g of crème fraîche, salt and pepper, then stir.

  7. Caramelize the apples

    Cut the 3 apples into wedges. Brown them in the skillet with 10 g of butter over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp of honey for the last 2 minutes.

  8. Rest, slice and serve

    Take out the roast and let it rest 10 min under foil or a lid. Slice it and plate it with the mash, green beans and apples.

    Tip · Resting keeps the juices in the meat. Cut a piece from the center to check there's no pink at all.
