I love Emeril but...

Most of Emeril's recipes are the bomb! However, this one is an exception. The Essence coating on the roast made it unbearably spicy for our tastes. The wild rice stuffing burned all over the top; the underside was tasty, but too little quantity. The leftover stuffing was placed in a greased dish & baked but also burned unrecognizably and had to be thrown out! Additionally, all the pan juices also burned and stuck on the bottom of the roasting pan, thereby ruining my plans to make a pan-juices based Dijon sauce to go along. What a waste of a beautiful (and expensive!) piece of meat. Never again.




Christmas Hit!

This was a big hit with my family. I wanted something other than turkey or our traditional pork shoulder roast and this was it. Thanks so much.

This is a wonderful recipe for a special occasion. My butcher did a 10 pound crown cut so I used a bit more "essence" but same amount of stuffing. The essence is a bit spicy for those who are not fond of much spice but that can be avoided by not eating much of the outer "crust." I took out the roast very close to 160 and would suggest that it be taken out about 155 or a little earlier. It was still extremely moist cooked to 160 but believe it would have been even better if taken out at a lower temp. The stuffing was unique and tasty but I would prefer more apples and less sausage since the Italian sausage has such a strong taste. Although I have to say I am the kind who prefers a sweeter relish with pork and next time would make a side dish to complement that. Overall, beautiful presentation and great flavor!

Although the flavors were good, the roast was way over done after it rested. The take out temperature of 160 degrees should be better if it was removed say at 150 degrees. The stuffing was very good, but folks used to good ole' fashion bread stuffing will be in for a surprise. It's a bit spicy, but good. I would use a bit more apples, and a bit less sausage.

Made this for a Valentines dinner party for eight. All guests especially liked the stuffing as the flavors melded perfectly with the roast pork.

This was the first time I'd cooked a crown rib roast and it turned out beautifully. Everyone was so impressed. It wasn't too spicy at all, and the stuffing was wonderful. I served it with roasted winter vegetables. It looked gorgeous and tasted as good as it looked.
