Ingredients

  • 2 kg 8-rib rack of pork

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp five-spice powder

  • 3 shallots, finely chopped

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 1/2 cup red wine

  • 398-mL can whole-berry cranberry sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325F (160C). Place pork, fat-side up, on a large foil-lined baking sheet. Brush with oil, then rub in spice powder, making sure to coat ends. Roast, uncovered, until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of roast reads 155F (70C), 1 hour 45 min to 2 hours. Remove from oven and loosely cover with foil. Let rack of pork stand 10 min before slicing.

  • While meat is cooking, prepare shallots and garlic. Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic. Stir frequently until shallots soften, about 3 min. Pour in wine. Boil, uncovered, until liquid reduces slightly, about 2 min.

  • Add cranberry sauce. Using a wooden spoon, gently mash to break up sauce. Reduce heat to low and stir until hot and evenly mixed, about 2 min. Slice pork into thick chops and place on plates. Spoon sauce overtop.
