Succulent Swiss Pork Roast With Crispy Skin Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rinse and pat dry the pork roast.
• Cut deep slits all over the roast with a sharp knife to different depths. Press pieces of garlic into the slits. In a small bowl, mix together the water, brown sugar, and the maraschino cherries with their juice. Place the roast in an oven bag, and pour the cherry mixture over. Seal the bag, and place in a roasting pan.
• Bake for 3 hours in the preheated oven, or until the internal temperature of the roast is at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove from bag to a serving plate, and baste with the juices. Let stand for 15 minutes before carving and serving.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven 375°F.
• Wash the entire piece of pork under running water (both sides).
• Place meat skin side up in a large roasting pan.
• Cut the top skin with a very sharp knife just up to the beginning of the layer of fat in a criss-cross diamond pattern (just like a baked ham), but not all the way to the meat.
• Generously apply the mustard on both sides all over the roast including the skin.
• Squeeze and evenly apply the juice of half a lime per side of the roast.
• Sprinkle the salt. pepper, season-all and all the dried herbs evenly on both sides of the roast.
• Turn roast so the skin faces upward in the roasting pan.
• Pour 1 cup water into bottom of pan (not on the roast).
• Drizzle olive oil evenly over the top of the roast.
• Place roast into hot oven and cook 1 3/4 hours or until juices flow clear when center of roast is pieced (meat must be done, not pink!).
• Remove roast from pan and start slicing including the crisp-golden skin into 1/4 inch pieces. Keep warm!
• For Gravy/Sauce:.
• Take pan drippings and add 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup Half and Half, 1/3 cup extra dry vermouth or dry white wine and scrape bottom of pan to mix well!
• Season with salt, pepper and season-all to taste. Pour into gravy boat and serve hot with pork roast. Bon Appetit!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Crush garlic with rosemary, salt and pepper, making a paste.
• Pierce the meat with a sharp knife in several places and press the garlic paste into the openings.
• Rub the meat with the remaining garlic mixture and olive oil.
• Place pork loin into oven for 2 hours, turning and basting with pan liquids.
• After 2 hours remove roast to a platter.
• Heat the wine in the pan and stir to loosen browned bits of food on the bottom.
• Serve with pan juices.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Prepare the pig: Wash it, including the cavity, under cold running water, and towel-dry thoroughly, the way you would dry a small child after a bath - ears, armpits, chest cavity, face, legs, backs of knees.
• Sometimes there are imperfections remaining after the slaughtering and processing of the animal. Use dish towels or sturdy paper towels to rub away any dark spots on the ears, any little bit of remaining bristles around the mouth. Like that yellow, papery flaking skin you sometimes find on chickens, which can be peeled off to reveal tender, fresh skin underneath, a similar bit of crud can remain on pigs' chins and under their belly flaps. Clean this little cutie as if you were detailing your car! The purple U.S.D.A. stamp, however, is indelible. But not inedible.
• Bard the pig with all 20 garlic cloves, making deep incisions all over with a thin filleting knife and shoving the cloves into each pocket; include the cheeks and the neck and the rump and the thighs and the loin down the back and the front shoulders, all areas of the small creature that have enough flesh to be able to receive a clove of garlic. (Sometimes I find I have to slice the larger cloves of garlic in half to get them to slide into the incision.)
• Rub the entire pig in oil exactly as you would apply suntan oil to a sunbathing goddess of another era, when people still were ignorant of the harmful effects of the sun. Massage and rub and get the whole creature slick and glistening. I do this directly in a very large roasting pan.
• Wash and dry your hands. Take large pinches of kosher salt, and raising your arm high above the pig, rain down the salt in an even, light dusting all over. You can start with the pig on its back and get the cavity and the crotch, and then turn it over and get the back and the head and flanks. Or vice versa. But in the end, the whole animal is salted evenly and lightly, snout to tail.
• Arrange the pig in the roasting pan, spine up, rear legs tucked under, with feet pointing toward its ears and its two front legs out ahead in front. Sometimes the pig needs a sharp, sturdy, confident chiropractic crack on its arching spine, just to settle it in comfortably to the roasting pan, so it won't list to one side or topple over.
• Put the potato deep into its mouth, and place in the oven, on the bottom rack, and roast slowly for about 4 to 5 hours, depending on the size of your pig. (Plan 15 minutes of roasting time per pound of pig; if you have a 20-pounder, then you'd need about 5 hours total cooking time.) Add a little water to the roasting pan along the way if you see the juices are in danger of scorching, and loosely tent the animal with aluminum foil in vulnerable spots - ears, snout, arc of back - if you see them burning. For the last half-hour, raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees, and cook until the skin gets crisp and even blistered, checking every 10 minutes.
• Tap on it with your knuckle to hear a kind of hollow sound, letting you know the skin has inflated and separated from the interior flesh; observe splitting of the skin at knuckles - all good signs the pig is done. Or use a meat thermometer inserted deep in the neck; the pig is ready at 160 degrees. Let rest 45 minutes before serving.
• Remove the potato, and replace it with the apple. Transfer the pig to a large platter; nestle big bouquets of herbs around the pig as garnish. Save pan juices, and use for napping over the pulled meat when serving.

Steps:

• Bring enough water in a pot to a rapid boil. Scald the pork skin by dipping only the skin into the water.
• Remove, then rub Marinade onto the meat side of the pork.
• Preheat oven to 475°F.
• Place pork with meat side up on a wire rack inside roasting pan and roast for 10-15 minutes.
• Remove pork on to a plate. Prick the skin side all over with a fork. Rub the skin with some salt.
• Return meat to the rack once again with skin side up.
• Roast for 25-30 minutes or until the skin turns crispy and golden brown.
