Crown Roast of Pork with Wild Rice Stuffing image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 10

Two 10-chop racks of pork from rib-chop section, chine removed and frenched
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
Wild Rice Stuffing
Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish
Plums, for garnish

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place racks on a work surface. Using a sharp knife, cut a third of the way through the meat between every two rib chops. (This will help the roast bend and stand upright.) Using a trussing needle and cotton kitchen twine, tie the ends of one rack to the ends of the second rack, being sure that the meat side of each rack faces outward. Tie a second piece of twine around the crown directly below the rib bones. Season with salt and pepper; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, zest, garlic, parsley, and sage; rub herb mixture evenly over meat. Transfer roast to a flat rack placed in a large heavy-duty roasting pan.
Roast for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 375 degrees and continue roasting, rotating halfway through, until meat is well browned and an instant-read thermometer registers 140 to 150 degrees, about 2 hours 15 minutes. (Insert thermometer into meaty center of crown, avoiding any bone. Take several readings to ensure roast is cooked all over.)
Remove from oven; let stand 20 minutes on the rack before transferring it to a serving platter. Remove twine and fill with cooked Wild Rice Stuffing. Garnish with rosemary and plums.

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 four-rib pork roast (approximately 3 pounds)
3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking soda
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. If you are short on time, you can cook the pork at temperatures up to 350 degrees F; however, slower and lower cooking results in more tender and juicy meat.
To prepare the pork for cooking, set the pork on a baking sheet and score the skin into a criss-cross pattern. Be sure to only score the fat and not deep enough to cut into the meat. Scoring exposes more fat to the heat, which results in more fat being rendered during cooking.
Bring the vinegar, sugar and 5 cups water to a boil in a saucepan; then add the baking soda and bring back up to a boil. Carefully pour the boiling liquid over the skin of the roast. Pat the skin dry and discard the liquid. Next, rub the grapeseed and olive oils all over the pork; then rub the pork with the rosemary and thyme. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place the pork in a roasting pan and transfer to the oven. Cook, uncovered, until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, about 1 1/2 hours.
When done, remove the pork from the pan and transfer it to a rack set over a baking sheet. Cover with vented foil and let rest for at least 15 minutes (the internal temp will increase by at least 5 or 10 degrees).
