How To Make mustard braised pork butt roast

  • Step 1
    Season the pork with salt. Add olive oil to a Dutch oven over high heat on the stove. Sear the pork on all sides about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Meanwhile, add the onions, garlic, fennel, and celery to a food processor. Process until it's paste-like.
  • Step 3
    When the pork has been seared on all sides, remove it to a plate and set it aside.
  • Step 4
    Add the pureed vegetables to the Dutch oven and season with salt. Cook until browned, about 20 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Add the wine and deglaze the pan, getting all the bits up from the bottom of the pan, and cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Step 6
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Tie the rosemary and thyme sprigs together.
  • Step 7
    Add the mustards to the pan and stir.
  • Step 8
    Add the chicken stock, herb bundle, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil.
  • Step 9
    Add the pork back into the pan and cover, and place in the oven.
  • Step 10
    Roast for one hour and then turn the pork over.
  • Step 11
    Cover and roast another hour.
  • Step 12
    Remove the lid and roast and roast another hour.
  • Step 13
    Remove the pork and set it aside, and keep it warm.
  • Step 14
    Strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer, pushing the solids against the sides of the strainer. Ditch the solids.
  • Step 15
    Place the liquid in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and simmer about 10 minutes.
  • Step 16
    Add the heavy cream and simmer another 10 minutes. Serve over the pork and sprinkle with chives.
