Braised Pork with Rosemary and Mushrooms {Arrosto con il Rosmarino}

I could tell you how incredibly insanely delicious that braised pork roast is in the photo. OR how I used it to make not one but three meals. But I know you see that gorgeous cassis Le Creuset in the photo and you see giveaway in the title and now you’re heart is beating a little faster and you’re just not thinking clearly. It’s not your fault.

It is Le Creuset after all. So I’m just going to get right to it. Christmas is coming a little early for someone. ONE lucky bell’alimento reader is going to WIN one of those for her {or him} self!

It’s a beauty, a 6 3/4 quart oval French oven. It holds A LOT and that’s a good thing for me because we need a workhorse. I braised a 4 pound pork roast in this beauty and there was still tons of room.

I was able to get not one but three meals out of such a large piece of meat. Saving me time and money!

The first meal we simply sliced the gorgeous roast and served it with a potato gratin {recipe coming SOON}. For a second meal we made those gorgeous pork sliders with mushroom sauce, which were so good we ate them as a third meal too. The oval french oven is so versatile I KNOW I’m going to be using it often. So often, I’m going to just leave it on my stove.


Features:

  • An elongated oval shape designed for longer cuts of meat
  • Even heat distribution and superior heat retention for cooking on the stovetop or finishing in the oven
  • Durable, nonreactive sand-colored interior enamel provides a smooth surface for cooking, as well as an optimal palette for food presentation
  • Colorful, long-lasting exterior enamel that resists chipping and cracking
  • A secure lid that locks in heat and moisture while cooking
  • Phenolic knob withstands temperatures up to 375°F
  • The lightest weight per quart of any premium cast iron cookware available

    omg, how awesome is this? I already have Le Creuset in turquoise and orange, so this gorgeous purple color would work. Or yellow. Or red. Or green!
    I don’t care 😉 I just want it!

  10. Victoria says

    And finally, I liked Le Creuset on Facebook! (OK, I’m done now – fingers crossed!) 😀

  20. Kim says

    I am also a fan of Bell’alimento on Facebook! This recipe looks delicious. Will be making soon!

  69. Liz says

    What a fabulous pork dish…love the rosemary and mushrooms…mmmmmmm. I’d have to pick out the French blue (can’t seem to find the exact name)…so pretty!

  75. Aimee @ ShugarySweets says

    Oh, can I please please come to dinner? I love mushrooms, and that looks so fantastic. I’m not allowed to cook with mushrooms around here 🙁
    I love the dish too, and I’d like it in Truffle. K. Thanks

  89. Julie @BananasForBourbon says

    I was going to say Cassis, but SPINACH! Holy goodness that is gorgeous. Though the truffle is pretty nice too. How does one decide these things? I can’t even decide on a favorite color, let alone shades of the same color…

  117. Juliana says

    beautiful dish! i think cherry is a beautiful color on anything cast iron!

  119. Mattie says

    I would just love the cassis color. The size is perfect too! Thanks for the chance to win! Have a happy holiday season!

  130. Fuji Mama says

    LOVE the truffle color!!! Oh, and if I win? The first thing I’m making is this braised pork. Holy yumminess!!!

  150. Elizabeth says

    I’d like one in fennel, please! It would match the lovely bright green theme in my kitchen.

  179. Heather says

    I LOVE the cassis colored french oven, like you have. It’s my husband’s and my favorite color!

  182. Lyn H says

    I would love to win the Oval French Oven in the Midnight Blue LeCreuset color.

  184. Tracy says

    Well, I have a Dijon pot, so to complement it, I suppose Black Onyx. But I do love the Caribbean Blue. And the Kiwi. And Red. It’s problematic….

  204. Elisa B says

    I have always wanted a Le Creuset French oven in the traditional “Flame” color. Just spectacular. 🙂

  223. Kelsey G. says

    I’d live the turquoise blue! Couldn’t find an exact color named on the site but I’m assuming that’s what color it is! Gorgeous!

  231. Amy says

    What a gorgeous giveaway! I love the color Cherry the most! 🙂 How can I not have this in that bright and vibrint Cherry color!?

    amy [at] utry [dot] it

  237. Julie says

    I would love this in the cassis color. I think it would go well with the other pieces that I have in different colors!

  244. Sharon says

    The colors are all so rich and beautiful! I think I would choose midnight blue, but caribbean would look so pretty in my kitchen also. Thanks so much for the chance to win this beautiful pot!

  250. Sharon says

    I follow you on stumble upon and I stumbled using your button (rusthawk).

  251. The Waspy Redhead says

    Beautiful! I have a small collection of le creuset that is intentionally mismatched. I favor the Cassis color like you have, also Kiwi, Ocean & Linen.

  270. Stefani says

    The purple looks so pretty in your pictures, but I would love it in black onyx!

  284. Kimby says

    Paula, thank you for this generous giveaway opportunity! I’d love to have this French oven in “Truffle” color — an appropos name for such quality cookware!

  287. Kimby says

    (I know this doesn’t count as an entry, but I just wanted to tell you that your sandwich photo with the rosemary sprig sticking up out of it is the cutest little thing!) 🙂

  317. Amanda S says

    When I scrolled down the post and saw that gorgeous lavendar color I gasped out loud. Apparently it’s called Cassis which I find to be very romantic sounding. Would love to win!

  319. Gail says

    I love the dune or the cherry – i love them all -liked you & le creuset on fb

  327. DeskSnacker.com says

    Wow, check out the ton of comments wanting to win the Le Creuset! Alas, it’s pretty awesome but I’m comfortable with my generic brand. What I did want to say is thanks for the ideas for those leftovers. I’m constantly on the lookout for ways to recycle cooked meat leftovers. Thanks for sharing!

  337. MaryBeth says

    I would love to have the Cherry one – I would feel so sassy using it in my kitchen!

  359. Misty says

    I would love to win the Caribbean one! Cassis, Dijon, Kiwi, or Flame would be nice too 🙂

    anxious to find out who wins this contest. I would love the Dune color !

  512. Marly says

    OK. I could totally do a vegan version of this recipe. And there were so many incredible options on the LeCreuset site, but I had to go with the blue (SKU L2502-31). My daughter says it would go really well with our kitchen! Besides, cobolt blue is the color of the season…and I am nothing if not totally into the colors of the season! Thanks for another great giveaway!

  513. Joann says

    time’s almost up ! Hope I win the Le Creuset in Dune. Thank you for the opportunity.
