A crown roast is a circular roast made from the rib section of the loin cut, typically filled with stuffing and served at formal events. Pork, lamb, and veal are common choices, and the roast is often decorated with paper hats. The filling is cooked separately for food safety reasons, and the roast is seasoned and cooked until the internal temperature reaches at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
A crown roast is a special roast of meat made from the rib section of the loin cut. The cut is tied in a circle and ribs roasted so that it looks like a crown. Typically, this cut is filled with some sort of filling and appears most often at formal events and large holiday meals.
Pork, lamb and veal are the typical choices of meats for the crown roast. The loin cut comes from the back of the upper back, and the rib tips are typically cut so that they stick out from the roast. A smaller roast can be made using part of a loin, and larger versions are made by joining multiple loins together. After cooking, it is traditional to decorate the ends of the ribs with curled paper hats. Because meat cooked on the bone tends to be more tender and flavorful, this dish is often packed with flavor and juices.
The filling can be made with any number of ingredients. For food safety reasons, many cooks prefer to cook the stuffing separately, ensuring the stuffing and roast are cooked through. Including the stuffing in the crown roast while it’s cooking will slow down the cooking time, which could cause the meat to dry out or overcook in places. Once both items are cooked through, they can be combined and finished briefly in the oven if desired.
To prepare a corona roast, preheat an oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius). Season or marinate meat as desired; a simple dressing might include olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs de Provence. When the oven is hot, insert the roast and cook until the internal temperature has reached at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius) in the case of pork, and slightly lower in the case of lamb and veal if slightly moist a rare crown roast is desired. Remove the roast and let it rest briefly before serving. The drops can be used to create a gravy that could be served alongside crown roast. Because the serving process can get a little messy, some cooks like to briefly show the roast at the table before taking it back to the kitchen and dividing it.
