Slow Simmered Pork Roast

1. 1

   Trim the visible fat from the roast, rinse the roast with cool water, and pat it dry with paper towels. Coat a nonstick 4-quart pot with cooking spray and preheat over medium-high heat. Add the roast to the pot and cook for a couple of minutes on each side or until nicely browned.

2. 2

   Combine the water, bouillon granules, rosemary, sage, and black pepper, and pour over the roast. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Place the potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms around the roast and raise the heat to return the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for an additional 30 minutes or until the meat and vegetables are tender.

4. 4

   Remove the meat to a serving platter and, using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to the platter. Pour the pan juices into a fat separator cup, then pour the defatted broth into a 2 cup measure. If necessary, add water to bring the volume up to 1 1/2 cups.

5. 5

   To make the gravy, pour the defatted broth into a 1 quart pot, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Combine the evaporated milk and flour in a jar with a tight fitting lid and shake until smooth. Slowly pour the milk mixture into the boiling broth, while whisking constantly. Cook and stir for a minute or 2 or until the mixture is thickened and bubbly. Pour the gravy into a warmed gravy boat, and serve hot with the meat and vegetables.
