Crown Roast


Having never made a crown roast of pork before, I was a little worried about screwing up a $60 piece of meat.  Turned out to be one of the best things I've ever made.  The recipe was based on something from Emeril's web site.


Rub the roast down with some olive oil, then give it a nice coating of fresh herbs, garlic, and seasonings.  Cover the bone tips with foil to prevent them from getting too brown.


Toss it in a roasting pan into the K with some apple wood and let it smoke for about an hour or so.  I wanted just a hint of smoke so I moved it to the oven after the first hour.  That also allowed me to keep an eye on it while making the side dishes.  Basted with white wine several times through the cooking process.


When the internal temp hit 150, I pulled it out.  Left it sit for a few minutes and replaced the foil with those cute little paper thingys to make it all pretty.


Sliced and served with steamed veggies in a white wine and butter sauce and home made pork stuffing.  The inside of the roast stayed a nice light pink.
