Grilled Tuscan Pork Rib Roast With Rosemary Coating And Red Pepp Food

SUNNY'S 12TH DISTRICT PORK RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for direct and indirect cooking to 425 degrees F.
• Brush the pork loin all over with the olive oil and sear on all sides over the direct heat of the grill, about 15 minutes. Let cool until easy to handle, then brush the mustard on all sides of the flesh.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, turmeric, salt and pepper. Sprinkle on all sides of the pork, coating evenly.
• Place the pork, rib-side down, over the indirect heat of the grill. Lower the grill to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl mix the warm water, sugar and lime juice until the sugar is dissolved. Use a brush or pour into a spray bottle to baste or spritz the pork lightly while cooking, starting 20 minutes into the cooking time and continuing every 15 minutes until done. Remove from the grill when a thermometer inserted in the center (avoiding bone) rapidly reaches 145 to 150 degrees F, about 1 hour 30 minutes total. Remove and cover lightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest 15 to 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

TUSCAN ROAST PORK WITH FENNEL

Steps:

• Toss the garlic, chopped rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt and the red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Make 3/4-inch-deep cuts between the rib bones of the pork. Stuff some of the garlic mixture into each cut. Rub the lemon halves over the pork, then rub with the remaining garlic mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Bring the pork to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Cut each fennel bulb in half, then cut each half into wedges. Scatter the fennel and rosemary sprigs in a medium roasting pan (it's best if the roast fits snugly in the pan). Place the pork in the roasting pan on top of the fennel, fat side up, and roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, about 1 hour, 45 minutes. Transfer the pork to a platter or cutting board and cover loosely with foil; let rest 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, turn the fennel wedges and return the pan to the oven. Continue roasting until the fennel is caramelized, about 15 minutes. Cut the pork into chops and serve with the fennel.

PULL APART PORK RIB ROAST WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Mix and combine dry ingredients.
• Rub the pork rib on all sides with dry mixture, let it sit for 15 minutes.
• In the meantime, heat an uncovered deep roasting pan (just a little bit bigger than the rib roast) in the oven preheated to 250°C
• Rub the meat with olive oil, place in a hot pan and bake, uncovered, for about 30 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms. Remove from the oven and from the baking pan, and reduce oven temperature to 150°C.
• Spread apple and onion slices on the bottom of the pan, add cider.
• Place the rib roast on apples and onions, tightly cover with a lid and bake for about 2 hours. Check, once or twice that there is enough liquid to prevent apples and onions from burning.
• When done, let the rib roast rest for 15 minutes, then gently pull apart with a fork (or fingers) from the bone and serve with the apple and onion sauce and mashed potatoes.

TUSCAN-STYLE PORK ROAST (ARISTA)

Steps:

• Mince together garlic and rosemary. Stir together with sea salt in a small bowl and season with pepper. Rub 1 tablespoon garlic mixture all over pork. Beginning at 1 end of loin, make a 3/4-inch slit with a long thin knife through center of loin to other end. Stuff slit with remaining garlic mixture, pushing it through with handle of a long wooden spoon. Marinate at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Put loin, fat side up, on a rack in a roasting pan and roast in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally at least 2 inches into meat registers 155°F, about 2 hours. Let pork stand, loosely covered, 20 minutes.
• Discard string. Separate loin from bones and cut meat crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices. If desired, serve bones cut into ribs.

TUSCAN PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Combine garlic, rosemary, olive oil and salt in a blender or food processor: blend until mixture forms a paste.
• Rub paste over the roast; cover and let stand 30 minutes.
• Place roast, fat side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
• Bake at 325 for 2 1/2 hours or until internal temp reaches 165.
• Let roast stand for 15 minutes before slicing.

TUSCAN PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Note: I'd suggest tripling the amount of rub, butterflying the pork further, and putting the rub all over both the inside and outside of the meat. There just wasn't enough of it for my taste.
• Remove the pork from the fridge and let come to room temperature about at hour before preparing. In the meantime, cut along the bone as if you were going to cut the bone off completely, but leave about an inch still attached. Rub the pork all over with olive oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the finely chopped garlic, lemon zest, and herbs and rub this all over the incision made between the bone and the meat, patting down the herbs. Make a 1 inch incision between each rib bone and thread kitchen string/ butcher's twine through these incisions to tie the roast tightly and hold it together.
• Place the roast on a metal cooling rack, inserted inside a deep baking tray, skin-side up. Pour water in the bottom of the tray (if you prefer, you can use white wine, and in this case, pour it all over the roast and let it drip into the tray). Roast for 3 1/2 to 4 hours at 195º F (90º C) -- if you have a meat thermometer, you're looking for the interior to be about 150º F (65º C).
• Remove from the oven, turn up the heat to 430º F (220° C) and cook another 5 minutes to crisp the skin. Rest for at least 15 minutes, uncovered, before slicing into thick slices and serving. This is wonderful with roast potatoes (possibly roasted in the pan juices under the pork) or sautéed greens.

TUSCAN PORK ROAST (WEIGHT WATCHERS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. With a small sharp knife, make several small incisions in the roast; insert a sliver of garlic in each incision. If desired, rub the roast with oil. Then sprinkle over it the rosemary, salt and pepper.
• Place the roast in a shallow roasting pan; pour 1/4 cup of the wine into the pan.
• Roast, basting occasionally with the pan juices (adding 1/4 cup of the wine after half an hour, and the other 1/4 cup a few minutes before the roast is done), until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the pork (not touching bone) registers 160°, about 1 3/4 hours.
• Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
