PORK ROAST AND SAUERKRAUT



Pork Roast and Sauerkraut image

My family which is mostly German-Irish ate the same meal for New Year's every year of my life. It consisted of pork roast, sauerkraut, kielbasa and mashed potatoes. We ate the pork (pork roast and kielbasa) because pigs are a symbol of progress. Pigs push forward, rooting themselves in the ground before moving, and we need to move into the New Year in the same way. We eat sauerkraut, as it's believed it will bring blessings and wealth for the new year. It also reminds us that with the good comes the bitter as well. We eat potatoes to remind us that even as poor men we still had potatoes to eat.

CROWN ROAST OF PORK



Crown Roast of Pork image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

4 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1 bunch fresh rosemary, picked and finely chopped
1 bunch fresh sage, picked and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
One 13-rib pork loin, membrane between the rib bones slit to allow the pork to curl around and stand up
Kosher salt
Pear and Chestnut Stuffing, recipe follows
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 ribs celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 Spanish onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 fennel bulb, cut into 1/4-inch dice
8 cups chicken stock
2 cups dry white wine
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces slab bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
4 ribs celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 Spanish onions, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/4 fennel bulb, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Kosher salt
4 sprigs rosemary, picked and finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
8 ounces peeled chestnuts, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup dried cranberries
4 Anjou pears, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 cups dry white wine
12 cups cubed crustless, stale sourdough or peasant bread
4 cups chicken stock, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • For the pork: In a small bowl, combine the garlic, rosemary, sage and crushed red pepper with 1/2 cup olive oil. Sprinkle the pork generously with salt and brush both sides with the olive oil herb paste.
  • Stand the pork rack up and curl it around so that the two ends meet; be sure that the thick meaty part of the pork is on the inside. Secure the roast by tying it twice around the outside of the roast with twine.
  • Place the pork in a large roasting pan fitted with a pizza pan tray and stuff the center of the pork with the Pear and Chestnut Stuffing. (There will be leftover stuffing. Place the leftover stuffing in a baking dish and cook for 35 minutes at 350 degrees F.)
  • For the pan sauce: Place the garlic and diced veggies around the pork. Add half the chicken stock, the wine and bay leaves to the pan. Sprinkle everything with salt.
  • Cover the pork bones with aluminum foil to prevent the bones from burning. Place the pork in the oven. Roast until the pork is starting to brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Turn the oven down to 325 degrees F.
  • Roast the pork for 2 1/2 more hours, basting the pork occasionally. Rotate the pork a couple of times during the cooking time. If the liquid level reduces, replace it with the remaining stock.
  • When the pork is cooked to the proper doneness - an instant-read thermometer should read 140 to 145 degrees F - remove it from the oven. Carefully transfer the pork to a serving platter and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Bring the pan juices to a boil. Taste and re-season if needed. Blend the veggies if desired to create a smoother sauce. I also like to leave them in.
  • To serve: Remove the twine. Scoop out the stuffing and cut the pork in between the bones to create chops. Top with pan sauce.
  • Coat a wide, straight-sided pan with olive oil and add the bacon. Bring the pan to a medium heat and let the bacon get brown and crispy.
  • Add the celery, onions and fennel and season with salt. Cook the veggies until they get soft and very aromatic, 8 to10 minutes. Add the rosemary and garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Toss in the chestnuts, cranberries and pears, and stir to combine. Add the wine and let it reduce by half.
  • Put the bread in a large mixing bowl and add the cooked veggie mixture to the bread. Stir to combine and douse the bread with half the stock. Use your hands to combine the bread, veggies and stock. Add more stock when/if needed to really saturate the bread. Season with salt and taste it to make sure it is delicious.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until reduced by half and slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the parsley. Pour the sauce over the roast and vegetables or keep on the side.

THE ULTIMATE PORK CROWN ROAST



The Ultimate Pork Crown Roast image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h45m

Yield 12 to14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

1/2 bunch thyme, leaves only
1/2 bunch fresh sage, leaves only
2 cloves garlic, gently smashed and paper removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
10 pounds pork rib roast (about 12 to 14 ribs)
Apple Pecan Stuffing, recipe follows
Gravy, recipe follows
Watercress, for garnish, optional
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for finishing
1/2 bunch fresh sage
1/2 bunch fresh thyme
1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups raw pecans
2 eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
5 cups sourdough bread (crusts removed), hand-torn into 1-inch pieces
1/4 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
2 medium carrots, roughly chopped
1 large onion, roughly chopped
3 ribs celery, roughly chopped
1 medium turnip, peeled and roughly chopped
1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup apple liqueur (recommended: Calvados)
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Set rack on the bottom third of the oven so the roast will fit completely inside.
  • In a small mixing bowl or mortar and pestle, combine thyme, sage, garlic, and salt and pepper, to taste, and mash to break up herbs and garlic. Add oil, about 1 cup, and combine with pestle.
  • Take crown roast of pork and if your butcher hasn't already prepared it, clean the bones of meat with a boning knife (French them) and make a small cut into the meat in between each rib so you can wrap it into a circle easily; save the scraps. Rub the pork all over with the herb mixture. With the ribs on the outside, wrap the rack around onto itself so the ends meet and secure with kitchen twine so it holds its crown shape. *Cook's note: if you are doing this by yourself, using a skewer to help hold its shape while you wrap the kitchen twine around the roast.
  • Place in a roasting pan. Add the scraps into the bottom of the pan alongside the roast. This will help add flavor to your sauce. Set aside to bring the pork to room temperature prior to cooking.
  • Fill the cavity with Apple Pecan Stuffing.
  • Cover the stuffing and the tips of the rib bones with foil then place the whole roast in the oven and bake for 2 hours and 20 minutes, an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register 150 degrees F when done. About 30 to 45 minutes prior to doneness, remove the foil to brown the stuffing and create a crust. Remove from the oven, loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for 30 minutes before cutting. Serve with Apple Pecan Stuffing and Gravy. Garnish with watercress, if desired.
  • Set a large saute pan over medium heat and add olive oil, sage and thyme sprigs. As the oil heats up the herbs will crackle and fry, infusing the oil. Remove the sage and thyme and set aside on a paper towel to drain - these can be as a garnish, if desired. Add onions to the pan and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes until caramelized. Season with salt and pepper. Remove onions from pan and add apples. Crush the pecans and add to the pan. Add more oil, if needed and season with salt and pepper. Gently saute until pecans are lightly toasted and apples are just cooked slightly - about 3 to 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl whisk together egg, cream, chicken stock, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add torn sourdough, caramelized onions, apples, pecans and chopped parsley. Using a wooden spoon, mix the stuffing until well combined.
  • Place carrots, onion, celery, turnip, apple and garlic in a food processor and pulse until you have a coarse textured puree. Once roasting pan comes out of the oven (and meat is removed) set it over medium-high heat on the stove. Add a 2-count of olive oil then add vegetable puree. Sweat for 7 to 8 minutes until most of the moisture has cooked off, then dust with flour. Cook for 2 more minutes stirring well to incorporate all the flour with the fat in the pan. Add the apple liqueur and scrape the bottom of the pan. Gradually add chicken stock, stirring as you go to ensure there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer and season well with salt and pepper. Simmer then remove from heat and strain through a sieve - it's okay if some of the pulp goes through as this will naturally add body to the gravy.

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.

PORK AND SAUERKRAUT

Time 3h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (3 pound) pork roast
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (14.5 ounce) cans sauerkraut, or to taste
3 cups water, or more as needed
1 onion, chopped
1 apple - peeled, cored, and finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place pork roast in a large roasting pan. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix sauerkraut, water, onion, and apple together in a large bowl. Pour sauerkraut mixture over roast.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork crown roast: Look for a roast that is evenly sized and has a good layer of fat.
  • Prepare the sauerkraut in advance: You can make the sauerkraut the day before or even a few days before you plan to cook the pork roast. This will give the flavors time to develop.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the stuffing: This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include apples, onions, celery, carrots, and cranberries.
  • Don't overcook the pork roast: The internal temperature of the roast should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the pork dry and tough.
  • Let the pork roast rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Crown roast of pork with sauerkraut is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your pork roast turns out perfectly cooked and flavorful. Serve it with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes for a complete meal that your guests will love.
