- In a separate cup mix the mustard and maple syrup.
- Using a brush, coat the roast on all sides and ends with the mustard mix.
- Roll the roast in the bread crumb mixture, coating all sides and ends.
- Place roast on a shallow baking pan. (I set pork on a rack over a foil lined baking sheet to keep the bottom crust crisp.)

- Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir. Cook about 1 minute more.
- Combine stock, mustard, maple syrup, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Add to the onion mixture and bring to a boil.
