Ingredients

6 tablespoons olive oil 

2 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin, cut from the tip 

2 1/4 cups dry white wine 

12 pearl onions, peeled 

1 pound 2 ounces carrots, cut crosswise on the diagonal, into 1-inch pieces 

2 1/4 pounds waxy potatoes, such as Yukon gold, halved 

1 dried bay leaf 

2 sprigs thyme 

1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped, plus 2 sprigs 

10 whole black peppercorns 

1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces 

3 cloves garlic, chopped 

Fine sea salt 

Preparation

Heat olive oil in a Dutch-oven over medium heat. Add pork and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat, cover, and cook, turning occasionally, 1 1/2 hours.

Add wine, onions, carrots, potatoes, butter, bay leaf, thyme, 2 sprigs parsley, and peppercorns; dot with butter. Cover, and let simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.

Season pork with salt and sprinkle potatoes with garlic and chopped parsley before serving.
