Gangsta! Pork Crown Roast

While poking around the Internet, I happened across www.NationaldayCalendar.com and found that March 7th is 'National Crown Roast Day'. Personally, I enjoy making a crown roast during the Christmas season. It is a very elegant looking dish that tends to impress your guests. I purchased my beautiful roast from a local Italian Market. They did a beautiful job preparing the pork loin and even gave us the cute little 'hats' as my wife calls them. Whether you bake it for Christmas or hold out until National Crown Roast Day, it is a  really simple main dish and looks so sophisticated.

1 cup of olive oil

1 cup of chopped rosemary

½ cup sage

½ cup thyme

 1 cup of chicken stock

1 cup of water

½ cup of sugar

salt and pepper to taste

In a medium sauce pot, add olive oil, rosemary, sage, thyme, chicken stock, and water. Boil these ingredients for twenty minutes to extract the flavor.

Allow the mixture to cool for one hour, then, add half a cup of  sugar.

Use this mixture to marinate the roast for 24 hours

Preheat the oven to 400.

Bake the roast for 30 minute then lower the temperature to 350. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 150 to 155.

It will take one and a half hours to two hours to cook depending on your oven and the size of your roast.
