Ingredients

For the pork:

For the peas:

Directions

Prepare the pork: Mix 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 teaspoons each mustard powder and chile powder, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Put the pork on a plate, pat dry and rub all over with the spice mixture. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Whisk the remaining 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon each mustard powder and chile powder, the Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl; set aside for brushing.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Rinse the pork and pat dry. If desired, tie kitchen twine around the pork in a few places to help it keep its shape. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork, fat-side down, and sear until golden, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook, turning, until golden all over, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, fat-side up, and roast 30 minutes. Brush with three-quarters of the vinegar mixture; continue roasting until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and brush with the remaining vinegar mixture. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing.

Meanwhile, make the peas: Bring 6 cups water, the granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a saucepan. Add the peas, bring to a simmer and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes for fresh peas or 3 to 4 minutes for frozen. Drain, transfer to a bowl and keep warm. Add the cream to the pan, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the butter, then add to the peas and toss. Add the parsley and scallions, season with salt and pepper and toss. Serve with the pork.

    A can't miss recipe. I only marinated the pork roast for 2 hours, and it still was so moist you could cut the slices with a fork. Be sure to use a nonstick pan when searing the meat, a big help when it comes time to clean. I also made the creamy peas using frozen peas, but they tasted like they were fresh from the garden in this recipe. My husband even remarked how good they were. The best roast pork recipe ever in my book.

    Amazing!! Made this for Easter lunch. I only did a few things differently: I did not wash off the rub (why would you wash off that yummy rub?? and I pureed the peas in a food processor with half the cream (I used half and half and half the butter. I am keeping both changes; searing the pork in a nonstick meant the brown sugar didn't burn at all. The two complemented each other well. I served it with Wilson's Own Mac & Cheese, which is also on food network. Definitely a keeper.

    This was delicious, and super easy. The rub really gives a nice flavorful crust on the pork. The peas were so fresh and tasty (I used frozen.
