Pečené vepřové s cibulí

Ingredients

• 3 pounds pork shoulder
• 2 large onions
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 2 medium carrots

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. 2

   Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels. Rub it with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.

3. 3

   In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

4. 4

   Remove the pork shoulder from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until they start to caramelize, about 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Add minced garlic to the onions and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

6. 6

   Return the pork shoulder to the skillet, nestling it among the onions. Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaves and chopped carrots.

7. 7

   Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

8. 8

   Once done, remove the skillet from the oven. Let the pork rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

9. 9

   Serve the sliced pork with the caramelized onions and carrots, spooning some of the pan juices over the top.
