Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Rub all sides of the pork roast with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the canola oil; season with the thyme and most of the salt and pepper. Peel the parsnips and quarter lengthwise. Pull apart the head of garlic, peel and roughly crush the cloves.

Step 2

Heat a large frypan over medium-high heat. Brown the pork on all sides, about 5 min.; transfer to a roasting pan. Using the same frypan, bring the remaining 1 tbsp (15 mL) canola oil to medium-high heat. Add the parsnips, garlic, remaining salt and pepper. Cook, turning often, until parsnips are golden and lightly caramelized, about 3 min. Place the parsnips and garlic in a single layer around the pork in the roasting pan. Roast 30 min. then pour the apple cider into the roasting pan. Continue roasting another 30 min., basting 2 or 3 times, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F).

Step 3

Transfer the pork to a cutting board to rest. Place parsnips on a serving platter; keep warm. Place the roasting pan on the stove over medium-high heat and bring the pan juices to a simmer. Meanwhile, in a small dish, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tbsp (30 mL) water until smooth then whisk in the honey. Whisk this slurry into the pan juices, simmer until thickened, 2 to 3 min. Turn off heat; whisk in the butter until melted and emulsified.

Step 4

Slice the pork roast across the grain. Arrange slices on the platter alongside the parsnips and garlic. Pour the apple cider sauce over the pork. Garnish with chives to serve.
