I have had a Pork Roast in the freezer for a while. I got out an unglazed Romertopf 111 clay roaster. This recipe , so simple, worked so well. My roast was only 2.5 lbs. so I cut the time in half and used 3 chicken legs, 10 small garlic cloves and Campbell's chicken gravy. OMG! A perfect dinner entree'. I added a salad. Done!! So good!
