Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes in half, (leave peel on) Peel and slice the parsnips and carrots lengthwise.
• Place the parsnips, carrots, onion, potatoes, and all the garlic cloves in a tray and coat and toss generously with extra virgin olive oil.
• (I use my lasagna pan) Add some he fresh thyme (including sprigs), salt and pepper, toss again.
• Then place in oven for 15 minutes.
• While the vegetables are in the oven, sprinkle some thyme, lemon zest, salt and pepper onto the chops.
• Then place them in the tray on top of vegetables and add the apples.
• Sprinkle a little extra virgin olive oil, and the juice of half the lemon on top of chops.
• Return to oven.
• Cook for around 45 minutes until the meat is tender and the vegetables are golden.
• Tip: I like to serve a piece of the quartered apple per plate, and I also take the peel off the cooked garlic and serve a couple cloves per plate.

PORK STEAK W/ROASTED POTATOES AND CARROTS

• Put the carrots along the edges of the pan.

• Salt and pepper the potatoes.
• Bake in a 300 degree oven for 2 1/2 hours; covered.
• After an hour use a baster to get some juice from the bottom of the pan. Squeeze some of this juice over the potatoes and carrots.
• I like to do this every hour.
• It gives the potatoes and carrots some of that extra great flavor from the pan drippings.
• Do the following for the gravy.
• At the end of the 2 1/2 hours, pour about a 1/4 cup of the drippings from the roaster in a saucepan. Add the dry gravy mix and 2 cups of water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, mixing often. Stir until thckened.
