SLOW ROASTED PORK RIB ROAST

Steps:

• The pork is very simple. I started with a pork rib roast, I think about 3.5 lbs and containing like 3 or 4 ribs. Preheat the oven to 500 deg F. Meanwhile: prepare the pork: Take maybe 3 cloves of garlic and julienne them. Put them in a small bowl with fresh rosemary and some salt and pepper. Using a long narrow knife, make slits all over the pork and insert a piece of garlic and a rosemary leaf in eash one. I find it easier to make a slit and stuff it before making the next, otherwise it is difficult to find the slits you have made. Next, take maybe 2 more cloves of garlic and crush it into the small bowl. Add more rosemary leaves, salt, pepper, and olive oil to make a paste. Rub this paste all over the outside of the pork. (At this point, I actually froze the whole thing and defrosted it in the fridge overnight when I was ready to use it.) Put a meat thermometer in the middle of the pork taking care not to touch it to a bone. Place the pork on a rack in a pan and put it in the oven at 500 deg F. Immediately set the oven to 170 deg F. Roast for several hours until the internal temp of the pork is 165 deg F. This might take 4 hours. If you need to, you can increase the temp to 350 deg F at the end to finish it. Remove from the oven and cover the roast with foil and a kitchen towel. The temperature will continue to rise. Let it rest at least 15 - 20 minutes before slicing.
