Crown Roast of Pork

My favorite entree for Christmas and other special occasions, a crown roast is easy to prepare. Both its elegant appearance and excellent flavor are sure to impress your friends and family. (Call ahead to order a crown roast from your butcher or meat department.)

In my newspaper today, the Los Angeles Times, there is a very similar recipe. It has roasted root vegetables in the center (carrots, parsnips, etc). I bet the additional flvors really make that roast something special. It just called for the veggies to be added in the center and roasted with the meat.

I read a recipe that called for a bulb of galic in the center to be finished off in the oven in a container becasue it would take longer than the crown prok roasting and also had other vegetables and a glaze like in the video but not with fruit. This must be "the" holiday entree this year. I saw them on sale two weeks ago and never remember seeing one featured in a grocery store sale page of meats ever before.
