Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1.5 kg pork rib roast , untrimmed
  • 1 tbsp canola oil

Sauerkraut

  • 8 slices bacon , chopped
  • 1 red onion , thinly sliced
  • 1/2 head red cabbage , thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • PREHEAT oven to 375F. Combine coriander with salt in a small bowl. Rub all over pork. Season with fresh pepper. Heat a large oven-safe frying pan over medium-high. Add oil, then pork, fat-side down. Turn occasionally, until brown all over, 4 min. Transfer pan to oven.

Season with fresh pepper. Boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, until cabbage is tender, about 30 min.
  • TRANSFER roast to a cutting board. Cover with foil and let stand, 20 min. Slice into 4 portions and serve with sauerkraut.
