CROWN ROAST OF PORK WITH ONION AND BREAD-CRUMB STUFFING

Steps:

• Make stuffing:
• Cook onions with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in 3/4 stick butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Continue to cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until onions are pale golden, about 10 minutes more. Add sage, marjoram, and pepper and cook, stirring, 5 minutes. Add vinegar and wine and boil, stirring occasionally, until liquid is evaporated, then remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, cook bread crumbs and remaining teaspoon salt in remaining 3/4 stick butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until golden and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Reserve 1 cup onion mixture, covered and chilled, for sauce. Transfer remaining mixture to a large bowl and stir in ground pork, celery, and crumbs.
• Cook roast and stuffing:
• Put 1 oven rack in lower third of oven and another on bottom of oven and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Stir together sage, marjoram, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then rub over outside and bottom of roast. Put roast in a small flameproof roasting pan and mound 2 cups stuffing loosely in center, then add water to pan. Transfer remaining stuffing to a buttered 2-quart baking dish and chill until ready to bake.
• Roast pork in lower third of oven, covering stuffing and tips of ribs with a sheet of foil after about 30 minutes and adding more water if pan becomes dry, until thermometer inserted 2 inches into center of meat (do not touch bones) registers 155°F, 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 hours total.
• Bake remaining stuffing (next to or under roast, starting 30 minutes before roast is done), covered with foil, 30 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425°F (after removing roast from oven) and continue to bake stuffing, uncovered, until top is crisp, 15 to 20 minutes more.
• Transfer pork to a platter and let stand 30 minutes.
• Make sauce while pork stands:
• Transfer pan juices from roasting pan to a gravy separator or a glass measure and skim off fat. Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners, then add wine to pan and boil over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Add reserved onion mixture, broth, pan juices, and any juices on platter from roast and bring to a simmer. Restir cornstarch mixture and add to pan, whisking, then simmer 2 minutes. Add butter and swirl pan until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
• Carve pork and serve with stuffing and sauce.

BROWN BUTTER ROASTIES WITH PORK CRUMBS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 4-5 mins until just tender. The potatoes can be boiled up to 24 hrs ahead and chilled. Put the oil and butter in a shallow roasting tin and heat in the oven until the butter is sizzling. Carefully add the potatoes to the hot tin and roast for 30 mins.
• Shake the tin, then continue to roast for 10-15 mins until golden and crisp all over. Toss through the parsley and spoon into a serving bowl, then scatter over the pork scratchings, if using, and serve.

CAULIFLOWER WITH BROWN BUTTER AND CRISPY CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the cauliflower on a baking sheet and scatter the garlic on top. Melt the butter in a medium skillet and toss 2 tablespoons with the cauliflower and garlic; set the rest aside in the skillet. Toss the cauliflower with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Roast until the cauliflower is quite tender and the edges are starting to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the cauliflower to a serving bowl.
• Reheat the remaining butter over medium-high heat until brown. Add the bread crumbs and cook, swirling the pan and tossing, until they are brown and crisp-this should take less than 1 minute. Pull the pan from the heat and toss the crumbs with the parsley and the remaining 14 teaspoon salt. Spoon crumbs over the cauliflower and season with pepper. Serve warm or room temperature with lemon wedges on the side.

BROWN SUGAR AND GARLIC-RUBBED ROAST PORK AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly oil an open roasting pan and place a roasting rack inside the pan.
• Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels.
• Stir together brown sugar, garlic powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt together in a small bowl. Rub brown sugar mixture on all sides of the pork loin. Place seasoned pork onto the rack, and center the rack inside the roasting pan.
• Combine potatoes, carrots, and onion in a bowl. Add olive oil and remaining seasoned salt, and stir to coat vegetables evenly. Place seasoned vegetables in the roasting pan, around the rack with the pork.
• Roast uncovered in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 90 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Remove pork roast from oven, cover in foil, and allow to rest for about 10 minutes. To serve, slice across the grain in 1/2-inch slices. Serve warm with roasted vegetables.
