Pork Rib Roast

Use a roast with the skin-on and it will crisp up into an incredible savory-salty pork cracklin’.

Instead of using one larger bone-in pork loin roast, this recipe calls for two smaller ones. This allows for more exposed surface areas, which decreases cooking time and develops a delicious golden brown crust.

For the holidays, Meherwan Irani makes this centerpiece-worthy crown roast with black peppercorn, fennel seed, and cumin.

Once you’ve got the two racks tied together (and the lady apples halved), making this crown pork recipe is as simple as any other roast.

If you like, you can coat the pork with the coriander and chill it for an extra night before roasting for more flavor. It will also help the pork get a good sear.
