Emeril’s Drive Crown Roast of Pork recipe is perfect for a festive holiday or any special gathering. Crown Roast of Pork with New Orleans Oyster Dressing Yield: Serves 8 to 12 1 crown roast of pork (10 to 12 pounds; 16 chops), allowed to stand at room temperature for at least one hour before cooking 6 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme, stems reserved 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary, stems reserved 1 teaspoon brown sugar Adjust oven rack to the lower third and preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a small mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, rosemary, and brown sugar. Rub the salt mixture all over the roast. Add herb stems to bottom of a roasting pan and place roast on top of the herb stems. Place roast in oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer reaches 110 degrees, about 2 hours. Remove roast from oven and brush the top of the roast with the remaining olive oil. Increase the temperature of the oven to 500 degrees and return roast to oven. Cook until interior temperature reaches 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 30 minutes longer. Transfer roast to a cutting board, tent it with aluminum foil, and allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes and up to an hour before carving. After roast has rested, remove twine and slice between bones into 16 chops. Cook’s Note: If necessary, you can ask your butcher to tie and “French” the pork roast for you.
