Simplest Pork Roast
- One 8-rib bone-in frenched pork rib roast (about 6 1/2 to 8 pounds), tied
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup panko or regular dried breadcrumbs
- 8 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
- Place a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- Place the pork on a roasting rack on a baking sheet with sides or a shallow roasting pan.
- Season liberally with the salt and pepper.
- Combine the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl, and stir to blend.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and pack the breadcrumb mixture onto the fat side of the roast.
- (Remove any breadcrumbs that fall into the pan; they might bum.)
- Roast the pork for 30 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs begin to brown.
- Cover the pork loosely with foil and roast another 1 1/2 to 2 hours (about 2 1/2 hours total), or until the pork reads 145 degrees F (for meat that is medium-rare) to 155 degrees F (for meat completely cooked through) in the center on an instant-read thermometer.
- Remove the foil and roast another 5 minutes, to brown the breadcrumbs.
- Let the pork rest for 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature before carving.
- Serve with any breadcrumbs that fall off when slicing.
