Cooking Time: 1-1/2 hours Preparation Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 Ontario pork loin rib roast, rack about 2 1/2 lbs (1.1 kg)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) each chopped fresh rosemary and coarse black pepper
- 1 tsp (5 mL) coarse sea salt
- 1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (250 mL) dried apricots, diced
- 1 medium orange
- 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) brown sugar
- 1 cup (250 mL) cider vinegar
- 1 tsp (5 mL) each grated fresh ginger and ground coriander
Directions:
Prepare rib roast: Trim excess fat from roast. Cut garlic cloves into small slivers. With a small, sharp knife cut incisions all over pork - as many as there are garlic slivers. Insert slivers into incisions. Combine rosemary, pepper, and salt. Rub mixture all over pork and roast at 325 F (160 C) for about 1-1/2 hours, or until an internal temperature of 155 F (68 C) is reached on a meat thermometer.
Meanwhile, prepare chutney: Cut and mince one tablespoon (15 mL) zest from orange. Combine all remaining ingredients, including all juice from orange. Bring to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Continue simmering until chutney becomes "jammy', about 30 minutes. Slice pork between ribs, and serve with chutney, warm or at room temperature.
