Fennel Seed Spiked Pork Roast image

I have often served a fennel salad with a pork chop, and decided: let's kick it up a notch. Thus the birth of this dish. Roast for 40 minutes per pound.

Time 5h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons fennel seed
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
5 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons ouzo
1 (8 pound) fresh Boston butt pork roast
2 large onions, thickly sliced
1 fennel bulb, sliced thickly
water as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Toast the fennel seed, rosemary, thyme, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium-low heat until strongly fragrant and the fennel seeds are lightly browned, 1 to 3 minutes. Do not let the spices burn! Place the toasted spices, sea salt, garlic, and ouzo into a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, and grind to a paste. Score the fat layer of the pork roast with a sharp knife; rub the spice paste all over the roast.
  • Spread the sliced onions and fennel into the bottom of a large roasting pan; pour enough water into the pan to just cover the vegetables. Place the roast on top of the onions and fennel with the fat layer facing upward.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until the pork is tender, 5 to 6 hours (or about 40 minutes per pound). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 185 degrees F (85 degrees C). Add extra water if needed during roasting to prevent the onions and fennel from burning.
