Roasted Rack Of Pork

Type: Pork
Courses: Main Course
Serves: 8 people

Recipe Ingredients

  Marinade
1/4 cup 59mlDijon mustard
6 sections  Rosemary leaves - chopped
2 tablespoons 30mlFennel seed
  Roasted Pork
1   Pork rack (8 chops) - with the bones
  Frenched
1 tablespoon 15mlVegetable oil
  Coarse salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
  Several long rosemary sprigs - for garnish

Recipe Instructions

One day before roasting, combine marinade ingredients; spread on the pork. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting. Scrape off the marinade with a rubber spatula and reserve. Heat the oil in a large, shallow roasting pan in the oven.

Once the pan is heated, season the pork on both sides with salt and pepper, then place in the pan. Brown each side of the pork for about 7 minutes.

Lower the oven to 250 degrees and continue to roast the pork (curved-side up) until the temperature on an instant-read thermometer is 140 degrees for medium and 150 degrees for well-done meat, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, brushing the reserved marinade over the pork during the last 5 minutes to form a light crust. Let rest 10 to 15 minutes before carving. Garnish with the sprigs of rosemary.

This recipe yields 8 servings.
