15 180 195

Ingredients

1 pork crown rib roast (about 6 pounds)
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon pepper
STUFFING:
1 large onion, chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups coarsely chopped fresh mushrooms
4 cups chopped fresh broccoli
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 cups onion and sage stuffing mix
1/2 cup water
GRAVY:
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Rub the inside and outside of roast with salt. Combine flour, thyme, parsley and pepper; rub over outside of roast. Place roast with rib ends down in a large roasting pan. Bake at 325° for 2 hours. Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Add mushrooms, broccoli, salt, bouillon, thyme and pepper; cook for 8 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender. Stir in stuffing mix and water. Turn roast over with rib ends up; fill center of roast with about 3 cups stuffing. Bake 1 hour longer or until meat thermometer inserted into meat between ribs reads 160°. Bake remaining stuffing in a greased covered baking dish during the last 40 minutes of baking time. Transfer roast to serving platter; let stand 15 minutes before slicing. For gravy, drain drippings into a measuring cup; skim and discard fat. Add enough water to drippings to measure 3 cups; stir in flour. Pour into skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits. Add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Serve with roast and stuffing. Yield: 12 servings.
