Pork Roast
1 pork shoulder or favorite cut of pork, about 3 pounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound watercress tops, washed well
4 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Pink peppercorns for garnish
Chopped chives for garnish

Marinade
8 cups olive oil
2 vanilla beans, split and scraped
1 cup honey
2 1/2 cups mirepoix, equal amounts of diced celery, carrot, onion
1 cup pomegranate juice
1 tablespoons chile flakes
1 sprig thyme
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoons ground coriander

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk 8 cups oil, vanilla and honey together. Add all marinade ingredients and marinate pork for 4 to 8 hours.




Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large roasting pan on medium-high on a stovetop burner. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, and when hot sear pork on all sides.
