Ingredients for 8 servings
- a piece of fresh pork breast 2 kg to 2.5 kg
- 4 cloves
- 2 garlic cloves, deveined and cut into sticks
- salt and freshly ground pepper
1- Remove the rind from the breast, keeping as much fat as possible. Flatten the meat so it is somewhat thinner, easier to roll, then, prick two cloves and sprinkle with a little thyme flowers on both sides of the meat ; insert garlic pieces between the cloves also on both sides.
2- Salt and pepper. Roll the piece of breast, fat on the outside, to form a roast. Tie it well.
3- Place this roast in an oven-safe dish without any fat.
4- Cook in a low oven (140°) for about four hours, regularly basting with the cooking juices. The fat melts and forms a crust around the meat, keeping the meat very tender.
5- Once the roast is cooked, slice and serve hot.
It will be even better the next day cold with a green salad.
