I heard Lynne Rosetto Kasper interview a chef/author who described this method as close-roasting. It's how my mother used to make a roast spoon-tender and SO savory. The sauce is my own invention, kind of a Hungarian Stroganoff!

Ingredients
  • 1 pork roast, any size. This can be a very economical cut as the cooking method will render it very tender.
  • Salt and Pepper, to your taste
  • 2 t. - 2 T. Smoked Paprika, to your taste (divided)
  • 4 T unsalted butter, or olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced fine
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms, any variety. I like crimini for this.
  • 1 cup sour cream

Directions
  1. Rub the roast with salt, pepper, and a little paprika.
  2. Either wrap the roast tightly in aluminum foil, or place it in a container just barely large enough to hold it that has a tight-fitting lid.
  3. Turn oven to 250 - 275 and cook the roast for at least 2 hours. A little longer won't hurt it at all.
  4. Near the end of the cooking time, melt the butter over medium heat in a pan, cook the onions until translucent.
  5. Add smoked paprika to your taste, continue to cook
  6. Add the mushrooms and cook until done.
  7. Add the pan drippings from the roast.
  8. Spoon in sour cream a few dollops at a time until the sauce has the consistency that you prefer.
  9. Shred the roast, and serve over noodles or the grain of your choice (I like kasha for this), covered with the sauce.
