Pork Roast with Caramelized Onions
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 90 min.
Arista di Maiale con Cipolle alla Caramella, a hearty pork roast from the Toscana. Have you ever eaten spit roasted suckling pig (Maialino allo Spiedo) in one of those roadside osterias in the Toscana? This dish is very similar: tender, juicy pork meat with a delicious crust and bursting with flavor.
Creamy Polenta and vegetables sautéed in olive oil are a great addition to this dish.
