Steps:
- Toss the garlic, chopped rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt and the red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Make 3/4-inch-deep cuts between the rib bones of the pork. Stuff some of the garlic mixture into each cut. Rub the lemon halves over the pork, then rub with the remaining garlic mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Bring the pork to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Cut each fennel bulb in half, then cut each half into wedges. Scatter the fennel and rosemary sprigs in a medium roasting pan (it's best if the roast fits snugly in the pan). Place the pork in the roasting pan on top of the fennel, fat side up, and roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, about 1 hour, 45 minutes. Transfer the pork to a platter or cutting board and cover loosely with foil; let rest 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, turn the fennel wedges and return the pan to the oven. Continue roasting until the fennel is caramelized, about 15 minutes. Cut the pork into chops and serve with the fennel.
TUSCAN PORK ROAST
There are several different ways to cook and prepare this roast. Some, instead of placing the chopped herbs along the bone, make half-inch incisions all over the meat and place a little garlic and rosemary in these; others prefer not to do this for the sake of appearance when the pork is sliced. Some use a boneless cut and slice this thinly; in this version, it is sliced thickly using the bones as a guide. The roast can be cooked in a moderately high oven, but this slow roasted version guarantees moist, juicy meat that otherwise has a tendency to easily dry out. If you're not roasting peeled and chopped potatoes in the juices of this roast that collect on the bottom of the pan, you are missing out on one of the best kept secrets of Tuscan cuisine. Some blanched greens (Tuscan kale, chard, or any other sturdy green leaf) or cooked cannellini beans tossed through those juices make wonderful sides to this dish too. Simple enough for a family meal but elegant enough to impress guests, try this versatile pork roast for your next Sunday roast. (less) -Emiko

Steps:
- Note: I'd suggest tripling the amount of rub, butterflying the pork further, and putting the rub all over both the inside and outside of the meat. There just wasn't enough of it for my taste.
- Remove the pork from the fridge and let come to room temperature about at hour before preparing. In the meantime, cut along the bone as if you were going to cut the bone off completely, but leave about an inch still attached. Rub the pork all over with olive oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine the finely chopped garlic, lemon zest, and herbs and rub this all over the incision made between the bone and the meat, patting down the herbs. Make a 1 inch incision between each rib bone and thread kitchen string/ butcher's twine through these incisions to tie the roast tightly and hold it together.
- Place the roast on a metal cooling rack, inserted inside a deep baking tray, skin-side up. Pour water in the bottom of the tray (if you prefer, you can use white wine, and in this case, pour it all over the roast and let it drip into the tray). Roast for 3 1/2 to 4 hours at 195º F (90º C) -- if you have a meat thermometer, you're looking for the interior to be about 150º F (65º C).
- Remove from the oven, turn up the heat to 430º F (220° C) and cook another 5 minutes to crisp the skin. Rest for at least 15 minutes, uncovered, before slicing into thick slices and serving. This is wonderful with roast potatoes (possibly roasted in the pan juices under the pork) or sautéed greens.

ROSEMARY GARLIC BABY BACK RIBS
I like this recipe from Canadian Living. You can marinate the ribs for as little as one hour or as long as 24 hours and they don't require long precooking like some other rib recipes do. They do, however, require a full hour on the barbecue, so make sure your tank is topped up!

Steps:
- Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs, if attached, then cut into 4 sections of 3 or 4 ribs each.
- In a large dish, combine the garlic, rosemary, oil, salt, hot pepper flakes and pepper.
- Add the ribs and rub all over with the spice mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
- Set a foil drip pan under 1 rack of a 2-burner barbecue or under the centre rack of a 3-burner barbecue.
- Heat the remaining burners to medium heat.
- Place the ribs, meat side down, on a greased grill over the unlit burner.
- Close the lid and cook, turning once, until the meat is tender and pulls away from the ends of the bones, about 1 hour.
- Squeeze the lemon over the ribs to serve.
