STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2

Smash together garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and cracked black pepper in a mortar until a fine powder forms. Place spice mix into a shallow bowl.

3

Inject the pork roast all over with Creole marinade, blot exterior dry, and rub it with the prepared spice mix to coat thoroughly.

4

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir shallots and elephant garlic until golden. Sear pork roast on all sides until spice coating is golden brown, 1–2 minutes per side. Place roast in a roasting pan or Dutch oven with shallots and garlic.

5

Arrange onions, potatoes, carrots, and celery around the roast. Mix 1 cup of water with any remaining spices and pour over the roast.

6

Cover the pan and bake for 3 hours and 45 minutes to 4 hours, until the pork is tender.

7

Transfer roast and vegetables to a serving platter.

8

Prepare the gravy by whisking together the remaining 2 cups of water, the brown gravy mix, garlic powder, black pepper, and onion powder in the roasting pan. Cook on medium, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes.

9

Serve the roast and vegetables with the prepared cracked pepper gravy.
