Irish 'Bacon' Pork Roast by Melanie Foster serves: 6	No ratings Rating Details Rate this recipe Printable View Print Index Cards

Brined and boiled with garlic, this roast is melt-in-your mouth delicious! Great as an alternative to Corned Beef on St. Patrick's Day.

Ingredients:

8 cups

water

1 1/2 cups

coarse Kosher salt

6 1/2 lb

pork shoulder, bone-in (Boston butt), fat trimmed

heads garlic, halved crosswise

1 1/2 tsp

whole black peppercorns

Directions:

In a large, heavy pot combine water and salt and stir until dissolved. Add roast, cover and refrigerate 1 day. Bring pork in salt water to a boil. Boil 10 minutes then drain. Fill pot with enough cold water to cover pork. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add garlic and peppercorns. Reduce heat to med-low, cover and simmer gently until pork is tender, about 3 hours (use a slow cooker on low for 6 hours if you wish). Remove meat and garlic to a serving dish, spread garlic over bread or eat with meat. Serve with mustard if you wish.

Optional: After meat is cooked, remove and keep warm. Add carrots, cabbage wedges and new potatoes to cooking liquid and boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Serve with a little of the cooking liquid in shallow bowls.
