Farm-Fresh Tips for a Pork Crown Roast
A pork crown roast is a true showstopper—majestic in presentation and rich in flavor, it’s perfect for holidays and special occasions. Made by tying rib chops into a circle, it’s as beautiful as it is delicious. Here’s how we prepare it at Fields of Athenry.
Bring to Room Temp – Let the roast sit out for 1 hour before cooking so it heats evenly.
Season Generously – Rub all over with kosher salt, cracked pepper, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and olive oil. For added flavor, stuff the center with seasoned bread or rice dressing.
Sear or Start Hot – Roast at 450°F for 15–20 minutes to create a golden crust.
Finish Low & Slow – Reduce the oven to 325°F and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Rest Before Carving – Tent loosely with foil and rest for 15–20 minutes before slicing between the bones.
Serve with Elegance – Garnish with fresh herbs or even the traditional paper frills on the bones for a classic holiday presentation.
From Farm to Feast—happy cooking!
