From olden times Ukrainians cooked pork tenderloin. The pork was usually forced with garlic, rubbed with salt and pepper and baked in an oven.
Today we are going to cook tender pork roast with fragrant garlic, bay leaves, celery root, and black pepper. To add an appetizing color and special flavor to the pork we will marinate it in red wine and vegetable oil.
