  • Marinate the meat: Rinse the pork and pat it dry with paper towels, then rub it all over with salt. Grind the peppercorns in a mortar. In a deep dish, stir together the mustard, honey, and the juice of one lemon. Lower the pork into the marinade and rub it in well on all sides. Lay the second lemon, cut into wedges, over the top and tuck a few thyme sprigs underneath. Marinate for 6 hours, turning the meat after 3 hours. Roast: Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the carrots, onion, and garlic, and cut them into pieces however you like — if they're small, you can leave them whole. Put the vegetables, thyme, and all the lemon wedges from the marinade into a roasting bag, then set the meat on top. Pour in all the marinade and 100 ml (about 1/3 cup) of brandy. Seal the bag tightly and place it in the oven. Roast the first 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then lower to 325°F (160°C) and roast about 35 minutes more. Open the bag and baste the meat with the juices. Now roast with the bag open, raising the temperature to 350°F (180°C), until nicely browned. You can also switch on the broiler if you have one. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes, then serve. Have fun and dig in! Enjoy!
