Add this rub to a crown roast of pork for added flavour and stuff the roast with Caramelized Pear and Sage Stuffing. If you are serving this to dinner guests, garnish the bone tips with paper frills just before slicing the meat. Prep time includes making rub and gravy. Found this in the Food and Style Magazine Ingredients:
1 tablespoon paprika |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage (or 1 tsp dried) |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
1 (7 -8 lb) pork crown roast (about 12 ribs) |
1 tablespoon butter (if necessary) |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup port wine |
2 cups chicken stock |
1 cup pear nectar or 1 cup apple juice |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix paprika, sage, salt. allspice with oil to form a paste.
2. Place roast in pan and spread paste with hands over entire roast. Make sure you get the cut surfaces of the individual chops.
3. Press some stuffing into centre cavity of roast (see Caramelized Pear and Sage Stuffing recipe) until it comes up to the top of the crown.
4. Roast in oven at 325 F for 20 to 25 minutes per pound or until thermometer inserted in thickest part of meat registers 160 F (about 2 1/2 to 3 hours). Halfway through cooking time, shield stuffing and bone tips with a foil to prevent over browning.
