To ensure that this pork roast recipe is perfectly roasted, keep in mind that a convection oven reduces roasting time by about one-quarter. For a 4 lb (2 kg) roast, as we used for the photo, add 10 minutes to convection and 1 hour to conventional times.
Ingredients
Preparation
Using mortar and pestle or with bottom of heavy skillet, crush fennel seeds; place in small bowl. Mix in garlic, thyme, oil, dry mustard, salt and pepper to form paste; rub all over roast.
Place roast on rack in roasting pan. Roast in centre of 325°F (160°C) convection oven until meat thermometer inserted in centre registers 160°F (70°C), about 80 minutes. Transfer to cutting board; tent with foil and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
Conventional oven: Centre rack at 325°F (160°C) for 2 hours.
