Our delicious pot-roast pork recipe is maximum flavour with minimal fuss, perfect for entertaining. With only six ingredients, the dish can be quickly thrown together in a single pot – then you can just sit back and enjoy the house filling up with delicious aromas. Wild garlic leaves add a punch of vibrancy to the dish, but if you're not able to get hold of any, tarragon makes a delicious substitute.
Begin by preparing the pork. If it has a particularly large strip of fat between the skin and the meat, it's best to remove it to prevent a greasy sauce. You can do this by slicing it out in one piece, leaving the skin on as a flap. Or if you don't want crackling, you can just slice the whole lot off. Season the meat with salt and pepper, pat the skin dry and score it with a sharp knife
Preheat an oven to 180ºC/gas mark 4
Sit the pork loin on top of the celeriac and fit the sliced mushrooms in around the edges. Top up with the wine, cover with a lid (or foil) and place in the oven
After 1 hour, remove the lid (or foil) and turn the oven up to 200ºC/gas mark 6. Cook for another 20-30 minutes to get the crackling nice and crisp
Leave the pork to rest for 15 minutes before carving. Stir a handful of wild garlic or tarragon leaves into the dish at this stage, which adds a touch of fresh vibrancy to the sauce
Divide the sauce and vegetables between bowls and top with slices of the pork, or bring the whole dish to the table to carve in front of your guests. It is delicious served with buttery mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce
