Roast Pork With Fruit Stuffing And Mustard Sauce
- 1 4lb center-cut pork rib roast, bones frenched, roast well trimmed (about 2 lbs)
- 8 whole dried apricots
- 8 whole pitted prunes
- 2 TBLS corn oil
- 1 1/2 tsp dried marjoram
- 1 onion coarsely chopped
- 2 large carrots, coarsely chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 1/2 TBLS butter, room temp
- 1 1/2 TBL all purpose flour
- 1 TBLS Dijon
- 1 TBLS coarse-grained Dijon
- 1 1/2 cups low salt chicken broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- Preheat oven to 325F. Using long slender knife, carve out 3/4 inch diameter horizontal tunnel through center of pork. Chop carved-out meat and reserve. Using handle of wooden spoon, firmly pack apricots and prunes into tunnel of roast. Place roast on rack in roasting pan, rub with 1 TBL oil. Sprinkle roast with 1/2 tsp marjoram, salt, and pepper. Scatter onion, carrots, garlic cloves, and chopped meat around rack in pan. Drizzle vegetables with 1 TBLS oil, sprinkle with 1 tsp marjoram. Roast pork until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat (not stuffing) registers 150F, stirring vegetables occasionally, about 1 hour 25 minutes. Transfer pork to cutting board, tent with foil to keep warm.
- Whisk butter, flour, and both mustards in small bowl to blend. Add broth and wine to roasting pan, place on 2 burners and simmer juices over medium heat until mixture is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, scraping up browned bits, about 3 minutes. Strain liquid into small saucepan, skim fat from surface. Bring liquid to boil. Whisk in mustard mixture, simmer until sauce thickens slightly, whisking frequently, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cut pork between ribs into chops, serve with sauce.
