Pork rib roast
============== 2023-08-06
Comment: Relatively simple recipe, due to the French chef Jean-Pierre Vigato. The trick is to stick to the cooking time and sequence, as detailed below.
The chef's weighed 1.5 to 2 kg, he cooked it in 1h45, mine was 1.3 kg, so I reduced the cooking time a little in proportion to 1h30. The 2 cooking sequences are given below. The most practical is to use a kitchen timer capable of counting up, or a stopwatch.
A little trick, for fresh ginger, I keep a piece in the freezer (in a small plastic bag), and I grate the desired amount using a microplane.
Use the same grater for the garlic clove.
