Steps:

• Roast pork:
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 500°F.
• Stir together pimentón, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Rub mixture all over pork. (Press lightly so rub adheres; you will have some leftover rub.) Put pork on a metal rack in a roasting pan, rib side down. Roast pork 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 300°F and continue to roast until a meat thermometer inserted diagonally into center registers 140°F, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes more.
• Let pork stand, loosely covered with foil, 20 to 25 minutes before carving. (Temperature of meat will rise to about 150°F.)
• Make vinaigrette while pork roasts:
• Soak raisins in Sherry in a medium bowl, covered, 30 minutes. Add vinegar, shallot, garlic, salt, and pepper, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until combined. Whisk in parsley just before serving.

ORANGE SALAD WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA VINAIGRETTE, ICED ONIONS AND CILANTRO

Steps:

• To make salad: Soak the onion slices in a small bowl of water with some ice cubes for at least 30 minutes and as long as 2 hours. Meanwhile, prepare vinaigrette as directed below, then proceed with preparation of oranges: Cut off both ends of an orange, then stand it on a flat end and slice away the peel, including all of the white pith. Turn orange on its side and cut crosswise into ¼-inch slices; repeat with remaining oranges. Add orange slices to the bowl of vinaigrette and gently toss to coat. Arrange the orange slices on a serving plate, overlapping them slightly. Pour any extra vinaigrette and juices from the bowl into a small pitcher for serving on the side. Drain the onions and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Scatter onion over the oranges, then sprinkle with the cilantro. To make vinaigrette: In a bowl that's big enough to hold the orange slices, whisk together the orange juice, sherry vinegar, sugar, salt and paprika until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Whisk in the oil a few drops at a time until dressing is creamy and emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Note: Spanish smoked paprika, also called pimenton de la Vera, comes in three varieties: sweet (dulce), medium-hot (agridulce) and hot (picante).
