Roast Pork with Blueberry Port Sauce

Ingredients

Original recipe makes 4 servings

 1 (2 1/2 pound) pork shoulder roast
 salt and ground black pepper to taste
 1 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
 2 cup port wine
 1/2 cup chicken broth
 2 tablespoon olive oil
 1 large shallot, halved
 5 sprigs fresh rosemary
 4 tablespoons cold butter

Directions

1- Season roast generously on all sides with salt and black pepper.

2- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Season roast generously on all sides with salt and black pepper.

3- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook roast in hot oil until browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Add shallot, cut-side down, to skillet and place rosemary sprigs on top of roast.

4- Roast pork in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Flip pork, place rosemary sprigs back on top of roast, and break up shallots with a spoon. Continue roasting until slightly pink in the center, about 40 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

5- Transfer roast to a platter to rest for 10 minutes. Drizzle any excess fat in the skillet over the top of roast.

6- Place the same skillet over medium heat. Stir blueberries into skillet and cook and stir until soft, about 2 minutes. Pour port wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

7-Stir chicken broth into blueberry mixture, increase heat to medium-high, and cook until liquid is reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add cold butter into sauce and whisk until completely incorporated. Strain sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.


8-Slice pork roast against the grain into thin slices and top with blueberry sauce.
