PORK ROAST WITH DRIED MUSHROOM CRUST

Ingredients

• ​1 pkg (14 g) dried assorted mushrooms (about 1 1/4 cups)
• 2 lb (1 kg) bone-in pork loin rib roast, chine bone removed
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
• 1 tbsp canola oil

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Working in batches, grind mushrooms in a spice mill or coffee grinder; set aside.
3. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper.
4. Heat oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium-high heat. Add roast and brown on all sides; transfer roast to a plate.
5. When cool enough to handle, spread ground mushrooms evenly over roast.
6. Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
7. Roast until a meat thermometer registers 150°F, about 1 hour.
8. Transfer roast to a platter and cover with foil. Let stand for 10 minutes before carving. The internal temperature will continue to rise during standing. The final temperature should be 160ºF.
