Time 4h15m

Yield at least 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 5-pound pork butt roast (or a boned sirloin tip roast)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
7 to 8 cloves garlic, peeled
4 cups fresh fennel bulbs and leaves, diced
Handful of flat Italian parsley, shredded
Garlic powder to taste

Steps:

  • Cut the roast almost in half lengthwise, and open it like a book. Salt and pepper both cut sides. Rub both sides with garlic, and then sprinkle over garlic, the diced fennel and parsley, leaving a little of each to use on the outside of the roast.
  • Close up the roast and tie securely with string. Generously sprinkle garlic powder and pepper on the outside of the roast.
  • Place the roast in a pan, fat side up, and cover with the remaining fennel and parsley. If using pork, bake at 325 degrees for 4 hours or until the roast falls apart when tested with a fork. If using sirloin, bake for 2 hours at the same temperature.
