Directions
1. In a food processor, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic cloves, rosemary leaves, crumbled bouillon cube and pepper. Pulse until the marinade is thickened, and the consistency is that of a wet paste.
2. Transfer pork to a large salad bowl or roasting pan. Season liberally with salt and pepper and rub with marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight, or minimum 2 hours.
3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange vegetables in the bottom of a roasting pan lined with a large sheet of parchment paper. Add pork in the center of veggies and tie the ends of the parchment paper packet, just like a big candy. Place in the oven and reduce temperature to 300°F (150°C). Roast pork, until meat is fork-tender, about 3 hours.
4. Remove the roasting pan from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve pork and vegetables directly from the parchment packet.
