Ingredients
- 6 pounds rack of pork bone in, (between 5-7 lbs).
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard divided
- 4 teaspoons whole grain mustard divided
- 1 teaspoon ground fennel seed
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Green Peppercorn Sauce
- 3 Tablespoons flour
- 1 cup white wine
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1/4 cup green peppercorns in brine drained
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Allow the pork to come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Place the pork, fat side up in a roasting pan just large enough to hold it comfortably.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, 2 teaspoons of each mustard, the ground fennel, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoons black pepper. Rub the mixture on top of the pork and roast for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a cutting board and cover tightly with foil for 20 minutes, while you make the sauce.

Green Peppercorn Sauce
- For the sauce, remove all but 1/4 fat from the roasting pan. If there isn't 1/4 cup, add enough butter to the pan to make 1/4 cup total.
- Over medium heat, whisk the flour into the fat and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the wine and scrape up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken stock, remaining 2 teaspoons of each mustard, the green peppercorns, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoons black pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened.
