Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons cognac or other brandy
3 tablespoons water
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup dried apricots, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup whole almonds, toasted and chopped
1 medium shallot, minced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, toasted and crushed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (6-rib) center-cut pork roast, backbone removed and ribs Frenched, about 4 pounds after trimming)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
1/2 cup Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Warm the cognac and water in a small saucepan, add the cranberries and apricots, and set aside until plump, about 10 minutes. In a small food processor, pulse the fruit and any unabsorbed liquid with the almonds, shallot, butter, fennel seeds, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper, to taste, until the fruit and nuts are coarsely chopped.
  • With a boning knife or other long, thin knife, make a cut 3 inches across in the center of one end of the roast. Gently push and work the blade in and straight through the roast to the other end. (If your knife isn¿t long enough, make a cut at either end and work your way to the center, making sure that the cuts meet.) Insert the narrow end of a wooden spoon into the opening to widen it a bit all the way through. Push the stuffing into the loin, working first from 1 end and then the other, filling to the center.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Pat the loin dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast, holding the bones up so that the bottom gets well browned, then turn the roast to brown the meaty side, about 6 minutes total. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork meat side down for 30 minutes. Turn the roast over so it sits on the bones and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 155 degrees F, about 1 hour more. Transfer the roast to a carving board, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  • Whisk the creme fraiche or sour cream with the mustard in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Slice roast between the bones to make individual chops, arrange them on a platter, and serve, passing the mustard sauce.
  • Know-How: Roasting meat on the bone keeps meat moist and improves its flavor. Pan-searing before roasting is the way to get a great burnished crust on lean meats that would otherwise dry out if left to brown solely in the oven.

  • You can use any type of pork roast for this recipe, but a boneless, skinless pork loin roast is a good choice.
  • Brown the pork roast in a pan before roasting it in the oven. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the roast from drying out.
  • Add vegetables to the roasting pan with the pork roast. This will help to create a flavorful sauce and make a complete meal.
  • Roast the pork roast until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the pork is cooked through but still moist.
