Ingredients
1/2 cup ras al hanout or Moroccan spice blend
3 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
One 6-bone bone-in pork loin roast, frenched, chine bone removed
1 cup dried apricots
1 cup sake
1 cup chicken stock
6 cloves garlic, peeled
6 sprigs fresh cilantro
1 lemon, thinly sliced into wheels and seeds removed
1 carrot, peeled and cut into large dice
1 large onion, quartered
1 turnip, peeled and cut into large dice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
- Combine the ras al hanout, salt and brown sugar in a small bowl. Score the fat of the pork in a cross-hatch pattern. Rub the ras al hanout mixture all over the pork and allow to sit overnight in the refrigerator.
- Put the pork on a rack and allow it to come to room temperature for about 45 minutes before putting it into the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Put the apricots, sake, chicken stock, garlic, cilantro, lemons, carrots, onions and turnips in the bottom of a medium roasting pan. Put the rack with the pork in the roasting pan and roast until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F for medium, 40 to 50 minutes. Allow to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
- Transfer the drippings, vegetables and aromatics to a strainer set over a saucepan. Press the vegetables against the strainer to get as much liquid out of them as you can. Place the pan over medium heat, bring to a simmer and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low, add the butter and stir until melted. Keep warm over low heat and serve with the pork.
