Yield:
8 servings

Ingredients

Pork Rib Roast

1 (6½- to 8-pound) bone-in pork rib roast cut from loin end, chine bone removed and frenched (8 rib bones)

2 tablespoons flaky sea salt

1 tablespoon lemon zest, plus additional for garnish

4 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed

2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon coriander seeds

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Broccolini With Dressing

2 (6-ounce) bunches Broccolini, trimmed

¼ cup pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 red jalapeño or Fresno chile pepper, thinly sliced and seeded*

4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1 (1-inch) piece of gingerroot, peeled and cut into julienne sticks

Directions

  1. For pork roast, remove pork from refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil. Place a wire rack in the pan; lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set pan aside.
  2. Using a mortar and pestle, coarsely crush together flaky salt, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, fennel seed, black peppercorns, sugar, coriander seeds and cumin seeds; set aside.
  3. If necessary, trim excess fat from pork roast; sprinkle and rub all sides with black peppercorn mixture. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over high heat. Carefully sear pork loin 1 minute on each side or until lightly browned. Place roast on rack in prepared baking pan.
  4. Roast pork for 1¾ to 2¼ hours or until pork reaches 145°F. Transfer pork to a clean cutting board. Loosely cover with foil and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
  5. Meanwhile, cut large stalks of Broccolini lengthwise in half. In a large saucepan, cook Broccolini in lightly salted simmering water for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Transfer to bowl of ice water to quickly cool; drain well. Pat dry with paper towels; transfer to large bowl and set aside.
  6. For dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, vinegar and olive oil until combined; set aside. Drizzle 2 tablespoons maple dressing over Broccolini; toss to coat.
  7. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-low heat. Add red chile pepper, garlic and gingerroot; cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add Broccolini mixture. Cook for 3 minutes.  
  8. To serve, slice pork roast. On a large serving platter, arrange Broccolini. Serve with maple dressing. Garnish with additional lemon zest, if desired.

*Note: Chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn skin and eyes. When working with jalapeño or Fresno chile peppers, wear protective gloves.
