Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 5-pound bone-in pork rib roast, chine bone removed, all but 1/4 inch of fat trimmed
1 teaspoon plus 8 cups coarse kosher salt (3 3/4 to 4 pounds)
1 teaspoon plus 2/3 cup freshly ground black pepper (3 1/2 to 3 3/4 ounces)
1/3 cup freshly ground fennel seeds (1 to 1 1/4 ounces)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup freshly ground whole allspice (1 to 1 1/4 ounces)
1/3 cup freshly ground juniper berries* (about 1 ounce)
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 250°F. Sprinkle pork roast all over with 1 teaspoon coarse salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and fennel seeds, patting to adhere. Heat olive oil in heavy large roasting pan over medium-high heat. Place pork, fat side down, in pan. Cook until brown on all sides and on ends, holding pork upright with tongs when necessary, about 12 minutes. Transfer pork to baking sheet and cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Combine 8 cups coarse salt, 2/3 cup black pepper, allspice, and juniper berries in same roasting pan. Stir to blend. Add 1 cup water and stir to moisten. Push 2/3 to 3/4 of salt mixture to 1 side of pan, spreading remaining salt in long wide strip (about size of roast) as base for pork. Place pork, bone side down, on salt base. Pack remaining salt over entire roast, enclosing completely.
  • Roast pork in salt crust until instantread thermometer inserted straight down into pork from top center registers 165°F, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • Transfer roasting pan to work surface. Let pork rest 10 to 20 minutes. Remove all salt from around pork. Transfer pork to cutting board, brushing off any remaining salt. Position roast so that bones are vertical. Cut between bones and meat to remove bone slab in 1 piece.
  • Place bone slab on platter. Arrange roast atop bones in original position. Carve roast and serve.
  • Sold in the spice aisle of most supermarkets.
  • What to drink:
  • With the pork, pour a Côtes du Rhône. We like the Domaine Rouge-Bleu 2007 "Mistral" (France, $18). Its blackberry and earthy flavors and anise notes complement the meat deliciously.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pork: Opt for a lean cut of pork, such as pork tenderloin or pork loin, to ensure a tender and flavorful wrap.
  • Marinate the Pork: Marinating the pork in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids helps infuse it with delicious flavors and keeps it moist during cooking.
  • Cook the Pork Properly: Cook the pork to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Incorporate an array of fresh vegetables, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions, for added flavor, texture, and nutritional value.
  • Experiment with Different Sauces: Try various sauces, such as hoisin sauce, teriyaki sauce, or a simple combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil, to complement the flavors of the pork and vegetables.
  • Assemble with Care: Spread the sauce evenly on the wrap, arrange the pork and vegetables neatly, and roll the wrap tightly to ensure it holds together well.
  • Serve with Accompaniments: Accompany the wraps with sides like pickled ginger, kimchi, or a refreshing salad to enhance the overall dining experience.
