Caramelized Soy-Honey Roast 🥩🍯

⏱ Preparation time: 20 min + 1 hour 15 minutes cooking time

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Serves 6

😊 Ingredients:

🍀 1 pork roast (about 1.2 kg)

🍀 3 tablespoons honey

🍀 3 tablespoons soy sauce

🍀 2 garlic cloves (chopped or pressed)

🍀 1 tablespoon olive oil

🍀 1 teaspoon pepper

🍀 1 teaspoon salt (adjust according to the salt content of the soy sauce)

🍀 1 small glass of water (about 10 cl)

😊 Preparation:

🍀 Prepare the marinade:

👉 In a bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

👉 Brush the pork roast with this mixture.

👉 If you have time, let it rest in a cool place for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the meat to absorb the sauce.

🍀 Sear the roast:

👉 Preheat your oven to 200°C (gas mark 6-7).

👉 Place the roast in a baking dish and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.

🍀 Reduce the temperature and continue cooking:

👉 Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C (gas mark 5-6).

👉 Pour a small glass of water into the bottom of the dish to prevent the sauce from burning. 👉 Baste the roast regularly with the cooking juices.

👉 Cook for about 1 additional hour (for a total of about 1 hour 15 minutes).

🍀 Let rest and serve:

👉 Once cooked (core temperature of 65-70°C if you have a thermometer), remove the roast from the oven.

👉 Cover it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes to keep the meat juicy.

👉 Slice and serve with the caramelized sauce.

😊 Tips:

👉 If you'd like more sauce, add a little water or broth while cooking.

👉 For a more spicy flavor, you can add a pinch of Espelette pepper or grated ginger to the marinade. 👉 Serve this roast with roasted vegetables (carrots, potatoes, zucchini) or white rice to fully enjoy the sauce.

😊 Storage:

👉 Store leftovers in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to 2 to 3 days.

👉 Reheat gently in the oven (150°C) or in a pan, adding a little of the meat's juices to prevent the meat from drying out.
