HI,

I went to Costco yesterday and they had this new thing called rack of pork. Any ideas what to make with it. Looks just like rack of lamb but it is pork. Anybody has any experience with it?

Thanks

I've never seen this. I'll be interested in the ideas you get. Everyone has been so chatty today, I've had a heck of a time catching up. I'll think about it while I fix dinner, but if I don't get out of here, dinner is NEVER going to get ready!

I have a friend who made this once with a stuffing in the middle. I can ask her for the recipe if you wish, I know she enjoyed the dinner.

Crown roast? I was thinking the same thing, Theresa, but I wasn't sure it was the same cut, so I was waiting to check. I was also thinking that making it like you would lamb, but switch up the spices. I've got to check on dinner, but I'll come back and check which spices Culinary Artistry recommends for pork and post later.

Okay, back...potatoes need a few more minutes. Here's what it says regarding the pairing/spices/flavors: apples*, apricots, bay leaves, beans(black), beer, brandy, cabbage, Calvados, cherries (dried sour), clams, Cognac, coriander, cream, cumen, fennel*, fruit*, garlic*, ginger*, hoisin, honey*, juniper berries, lemon, lime, Marsala, molasses, mustard, onions, orange*, parsley, pepper*, pineapple, plum sauce, plums, prunes, quinces, rosemary*, sage*, soy sauce, star anise, tarragon, thyme*, vinegar*, walnuts, whiskey, wine (white)

OOO...stuffing in the middle sounds good. I was also thinking of taking a recipe for rack of lamb and just changing a couple of spices to accomodate pork.

Daphne is right--it is Crown Roast of Pork--just like "the other white meat", chicken--a pallet for flavor--I love a cornbread stuffing with sage, apples and colvados--or cornbread stuffing with sage, tart cherries and kirsh. Brine and roast the crown first, then add the stuffing and roast anothr 30-45 min. It's really good with a rice/wild rice fruit stuffing too!!

Epicurious has several recipes...several similar to what Bill describes, but I especially like the sound of the one he mentions with cherries...BTW, it's Kirch. I knew something didn't look right. Unfortunately, Epicurious does not have one with the cherries. Maybe Bill could help you out there. Here's a picture...they are very impressive:

I just checked, there are several stuffing recipes that come up with a search of stuffing with cherries. One has a number of dried fruits that sounds yummy...Dried Fruit Stuffing.

We call it a crown roast of pork. The butcher prepares a 12 rib roast (about 8 lbs), trims it and frenches the bones as in the picture. Also get him to grind the trimmings and you can use the ground pork in the stuffing. I'll try to post a recipe later.
