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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 11h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh rosemary, plus whole sprigs, for roasting the pork
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
One 12-bone pork rack, chine bone removed
Fresh sage sprigs, for roasting the pork
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup ground sweet Italian sausage
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
3 cups diced cornbread (1/2-inch pieces)
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1/2 cup finely chopped apples
1/2 cup currants
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh sage
2 cups chicken stock (less or more depending on your preference), hot
6 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup finely minced apples
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 sprig fresh sage, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the crown roast: Mix the garlic and rosemary with the mustard and olive oil in a small bowl. Rub the pork with the mixture and marinate overnight.
  • The next day, rub the excess marinade off the pork. Tie both ends of the rack together by the bones to create a circle or "crown." Put the rosemary and sage sprigs on a sheet tray, and place the pork crown on top of the herbs.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • For the Italian sausage and cornbread stuffing: Heat the olive oil over a medium-high flame in a large Dutch oven until hot. Brown the sausage, then add the carrots, celery and onions. Cook over a medium flame, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper. When the vegetables are lightly browned, add the nutmeg and allspice and cook for 1 more minute. Add the cornbread and scallions, followed by the apples, currants and sage. Moisten the stuffing with the chicken stock as needed, just until it is moist but not mushy or falling apart. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Season the rack with salt and pepper. Stuff the stuffing into the center until the filling comes to the point of the meat meeting the bone. Roast until caramelized, 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and cook until the center of the pork registers 155 degrees F, another 2 hours.
  • For the dijonnaise: Meanwhile, heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat until reduced by half. Whisk in the apples, mustard and sage. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Set the meat aside to rest for at least 10 minutes, and spoon the stuffing into a bowl. Slice the meat and serve with the dijonnaise.

STUFFED CROWN ROAST OF PORK



Stuffed Crown Roast of Pork image

A savory sausage stuffing accompanies this royal crown roast of a pork. It's fit for a king!

Provided by MARBALET

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Roast Recipes

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons butter
¾ cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped celery
½ cup peeled, cored and chopped tart apple
½ cup fresh bread crumbs
1 pound ground pork
½ pound ground seasoned pork sausage
½ cup chopped parsley
½ teaspoon dried sage
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
9 pounds crown pork roast

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • To Make Stuffing: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When foam subsides add onion and saute, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. Stir in celery and apples; saute (without browning) about 5 minutes longer. Scrape skillet contents into a large mixing bowl. Add bread crumbs, ground pork, sausage meat, parsley, sage, salt and pepper. Mix together gently but thoroughly. (Note: Do not taste the uncooked stuffing, for it contains raw pork; instead, fry a small ball of the stuffing in the skillet, then taste and season with more salt and pepper as necessary).
  • Fill the center of the crown with the stuffing, mounding it slightly. Cover it with a round of aluminum foil and wrap the ends of the chop bones in strips of foil to prevent them from charring and snapping off.
  • Place the crown on a rack in a shallow roasting pan just large enough to hold it comfortably, and roast in the center of the oven, undisturbed, for about 3 hours or until internal temperature of meat is 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). (Note: 30 minutes before pork is done, remove the foil from the top of the stuffing to allow the top to brown.)
  • Carefully transfer the crown to a large, heated, circular platter, strip the foil from the ends of the chops and replace it with paper frills. Let the crown rest for about 10 minutes before carving and serving. To Carve Pork: Insert a large fork in the side of the crown to steady it and, with a large, sharp knife, cut down through each rib to detach the chops. Two chops per person is a customary portion accompanied by a generous serving of the stuffing.

Add reserved onion mixture, broth, pan juices, and any juices on platter from roast and bring to a simmer. Restir cornstarch mixture and add to pan, whisking, then simmer 2 minutes. Add butter and swirl pan until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
