Dinner for Mom and Dad

Pork is the new black.  Slow Roasting is the new 30.

This main dish is a little time consuming, but well worth the wait.  I've slow roasted Pork in so many different ways in the past year, it's really become one of our favorite main dishes.  The best incarnations were of course, the simple ones:  Asian hoisin pork, spicy Mexican Carnitas, and a previous post - Cuban pulled pork.

My parents were in town, and I wanted to make them something healthy and delicious.  I had to work during the day, so I laid out all the ingredients ahead of time, and had my husband and mom get everything started late afternoon so the pork would have a few hours to cook.
