Preparation

In The Oven

  1. Place oven rack in middle position. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. On a work surface, brush rack of pork with herb mixture.
  4. In a casserole, pour remaining oil. Add rack of pork and bake 20 minutes on each side. Remove rack and reduce temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  5. Cover the rack with pancetta slices and bake for about 30 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the centre of the meat reads 140°F (60°C) for pink doneness. Keep an eye on the pancetta during cooking and cover with aluminum foil as needed to prevent it from drying out or burning. Transfer rack to a plate and set aside. Cover with foil and let stand for 15 minutes.
