Make Your Feast a Royal Affair with a Crown Roast

A pork crown roast is a visually stunning and elegant cut of pork, perfect for special occasions and festive meals. It consists of a rack of pork from the loin, where the rib bones are Frenched (cleaned of meat and fat) and then shaped into a circle, forming a “crown” shape. This cut is often roasted whole and can be stuffed with a variety of fillings, such as bread stuffing or sausage, for added flavor.

The roast is typically tied together with kitchen twine to maintain its circular form. The result is a dramatic centerpiece with crispy skin on the outside, juicy tender meat on the inside, and a flavorful, rich taste.

Flavor:

The flavor of a pork crown roast is rich and savory with a slightly sweet undertone, especially if the roast is seasoned with herbs like rosemary, thyme, garlic, and sage. The outer skin crisps up during roasting, giving a delightful crunch that contrasts with the juicy, tender meat. The flavor can vary depending on the stuffing, marinade, or rub used, but it generally has a mild, yet savory pork flavor, making it a popular choice for both casual and festive meals.
