CROWN ROAST OF PORK WITH WILD RICE STUFFING



Crown Roast of Pork with Wild Rice Stuffing image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

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.

6 slices firm white sandwich bread, cut into 1-inch squares
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped celery including some leaves
11/2 lb tart apples such as Granny Smith, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt

For roast:
1 (9- to 11-lb) crown roast of pork, rib ends frenched
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 lb sliced bacon
For pan sauce:
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup red-currant or apple jelly

Steps:

  • Make stuffing:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spread bread squares in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan and bake in middle of oven until dry and lightly toasted, about 15 minutes. Leave oven on (for roast) and cool bread.
  • Cook onion and celery in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in apples, sugar, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Reduce heat to low, then cook, covered, stirring, until apples are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in bread squares, parsley, and chives.
  • Make roast:
  • Set oven rack in lower third of oven. Sprinkle roast inside and out with salt and pepper and put in a large flameproof roasting pan. Mound stuffing in cavity. Wrap tips of rib bones with foil to prevent burning, then wrap meat below bones with overlapping bacon strips, securing them with wooden toothpicks.

  • Add jelly and any juices accumulated on carving board, then simmer sauce, whisking occasionally and skimming any fat that rises, until jelly is melted, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove all foil from roast and carve into chops by cutting between ribs.

STUFFED CROWN ROAST OF PORK



Stuffed Crown Roast of Pork image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

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.

CROWN ROAST OF PORK AND STUFFING



Crown Roast of Pork and Stuffing image

An eye and taste pleaser for any special occasion. It looks so impressive wearing the little socks - take time to make them or buy the ready made. The stuffing compliments the pork flavor. You may make the socks out of foil or I prefer colored tissue paper. Cut strips of paper approx 2 1/2 " wide by 10" long, roll the paper into a cylinder and with scissors cut down 1 1/2 " on one edge of the cylinder spacing cuts1/4" apart. wrap the uncut ends around each bone and secure with thin wire or fine thread.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

7 lbs rib roast, approx (16 ribs)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper
6 tablespoons margarine (do not use butter as it will brown too much)
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
6 cups dry breadcrumbs
2 cups apples, peeled cored and diced (use a sweeter apple like a macIntosh)
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 tablespoon parsley flakes

  • Add crumbs, apples, poultry seasoning, parsley flakes, 1 cup of apple juice, season with salt and pepper.
  • Add a bit more juice if needed.
  • The stuffing should be moist enough to hold together when squeezed lightly.
  • After you have roasted the meat for 2 hours, remove it from the oven.
  • Turn it so the rib ends are pointing out when you stand it on edge (like to secure the joining ribs with a bit of wire).
  • Place a sleeve of tin foil in the center of the roast, have the foil large enough that you will be able to cover the stuffing by folding it over when filled.
  • Fill the sleeve with the stuffing, fold foil over.
  • Return the roast uncovered until the internal temp reaches 170F (apprx 1 1/2 hours).
  • Decorate the rib ends with gay colored socks (use colors to match the seasons or holiday) after you have removed it from the oven and are ready to serve.

CROWN ROAST OF LAMB WITH PILAF STUFFING



Crown Roast of Lamb with Pilaf Stuffing image

What makes a more impressive entree than this? Our pilaf features rice but with bulgur instead of the usual vermicelli, giving a satisfying chewy texture.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Time 2h55m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon coriander seeds
2 racks of lamb (8 ribs each; about 4 pounds total)
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons), 1 lemon cut into 4 wedges, 1 lemon reserved for pilaf
3 tablespoons minced garlic (from about 8 cloves)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon packed fresh thyme leaves, plus 3 sprigs
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup medium or coarse bulgur wheat
3/4 cup long-grain white rice
1 small red onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
Kosher salt
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup packed finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted (3 ounces)
2/3 cup currants or raisins
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from reserved lemon)
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Roast:In a small skillet over medium-high, toast coriander seeds until dark brown and fragrant, 3 minutes. Grind in a spice grinder, or crush with a mortar and pestle.
  • Place racks of lamb, fat-side down, on a work surface. Cut one-third of the way through flesh between each rib bone. (This will allow racks to fan open into a crown shape.) Stand racks upright, with fat sides touching. Thread a trussing nee- dle with kitchen twine, and run it horizontally through meat just below last rib bone on one rack, and straight through meat of opposite chop. Form a half-circle by pulling ends of twine together as tightly as possible; tie. Repeat process on opposite ends of racks to finish crown. Where racks are joined, tie rib bones together. Crown can be made up to a day in advance and stored, uncovered, in the refrigerator. (Or just ask your butcher to pre- pare the crown.)
  • Stir together ground coriander, lemon zest, garlic, thyme leaves, oil, 4 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper until a paste forms. Spread mixture evenly over roast. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees with rack in bottom third. Place lemon wedges, thyme sprigs, and broth in a roasting pan. Place a flat rack over lemons, then center lamb on rack. Roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of roast (near but not touching bones) reads 140 degrees for medium-rare, 35 to 40 minutes. (Prepare pilaf while roast is in oven.) Transfer lamb to a platter; let stand 15 minutes. Remove rack, lemon wedges, and thyme from pan, reserving pan for gravy.
  • Pilaf:Heat a large saucepan over medium-high. Swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Add bulgur, rice, and onion; season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture hasa nutty aroma and rice turns golden in places, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in broth and 1 1/4 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until liquid has evaporated and bulgur is tender but still slightly chewy, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork, then stir in parsley, pine nuts, currants, lemon juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Spoon pilaf into center of finished crown roast on platter, if desired.
  • Gravy:While lamb is resting, place roasting pan across two burners on medium-high. Add 1 1/2 cups broth; bring to a boil. In a small bowl, whisk remaining 1/4 cup broth with flour, then whisk into pan. Continue to boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan, until gravy thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter until melted and combined. Strain gravy through a sieve and serve, with lamb and pilaf.

1 cup finely chopped celery
For roast
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage

1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Make stuffing:
  • Cook onions with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in 3/4 stick butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Continue to cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until onions are pale golden, about 10 minutes more. Add sage, marjoram, and pepper and cook, stirring, 5 minutes. Add vinegar and wine and boil, stirring occasionally, until liquid is evaporated, then remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, cook bread crumbs and remaining teaspoon salt in remaining 3/4 stick butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until golden and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Reserve 1 cup onion mixture, covered and chilled, for sauce. Transfer remaining mixture to a large bowl and stir in ground pork, celery, and crumbs.

Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners, then add wine to pan and boil over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. 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.
  • Carve pork and serve with stuffing and sauce.

STUFFED PORK ROAST WITH HERB SEASONED ARTICHOKE AND MUSHROOM STUFFING

3 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth (Regular, Natural Goodness® or Certified Organic)
2 cans (14 ounces each) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
3 cans (8 ounces each) mushrooms, pieces and stems, drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 package (14 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Herb Seasoned Stuffing
1 center-cut boneless pork loin roast, butterflied (5 to 7 pounds)
Garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Heat the butter and oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the green onions and garlic and cook until the onions are tender. Stir in the broth, artichokes, mushrooms, parsley and black pepper and heat to a boil.
  • 2. Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the stuffing and mix lightly.
  • 3. Spoon 3 cups stuffing mixture down the center of the pork. Fold the sides over the filling to form a roll. Tie the pork crosswise at 2-inch intervals with kitchen twine.

  • 5. Bake for 45 minutes or until the pork is cooked through. Let the pork stand for 10 minutes. Remove the twine before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose a crown roast with at least 8 ribs for a more impressive presentation and to ensure there is enough meat to feed your guests.
