A juicy, tender pork rib roast stuffed with garlic and seasoned with smoked paprika.
Ingredients
  • 2½ pound pork rib roast
  • 2 tablespoons meat stock/broth (chicken, beef, pork- whatever you have)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Spanish paprika
  • 6-8 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • chopped fresh herbs
Instructions
  1. Make a cut right next to the ribs, top to bottom, cutting halfway through (also known as making a butterfly cut). This will open up the roast, giving it the appearance of a butterfly.
  2. Use your hands to rub the entire roast inside and out with the stock. Sprinkle liberally with salt (approx. 2 Tablespoons), inside and out, then season with pepper. Open up the roast and sprinkle with half of the paprika, spreading it evenly over the inside. Pick one side to layer evenly the garlic slices; overlapping them slightly. Toss in a few pinches of fresh herbs of your choice- whatever you have on hand! Good choices are thyme, parsley, or sage. Close the roast. Season the outside with the rest of the paprika.
  3. Using twine, tie up the roast between each rib before securing with twine lengthwise.
  4. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate for 24 hours. Allow to sit at room temperature for an hour before cooking.
  5. Place your prepared roast onto a rack in a roasting pan.
  6. Heat your oven to 375 degrees and roast uncovered for 40 minutes. Lower heat to 300 degrees and roast for another 1½ hours or until a meat thermometer read 145 degrees (insert thermometer away from the bone, in the thickest part of the roast). Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing between each rib.
  7. Serve.
