In Italy the pork is so sweet and tender that this classie Florentine roast vibrates with intense flavor. Because American pork is fatter and less sweet, I’ve accented the roast with a pinch of cloves and a little lemon juice. Simple oven-roast potatoes and bitter greens such as Swiss chard, dandelion, or broccoli rabe are ideal accompaniments to balance the richness of the pork.
