Pork Rib Roast with Fig and Pistachio Stuffing

This impressive pork rib roast with fig and pistachio stuffing is a sophisticated choice for a weekend gathering or a festive celebration. By brining the pork in a fragrant mixture of rosemary, honey, and garlic, the meat remains incredibly succulent and seasoned to the bone. The sweet notes of the honey perfectly complement the savoury depth of the pork, creating a beautifully balanced main course that feels both traditional and refined.

As a high-protein dish, this roast is as nourishing as it is flavourful. The crunchy texture of the pistachios and the jammy sweetness of the figs in the stuffing provide a wonderful contrast to the tender meat. Serve this centrepiece with seasonal greens and roasted root vegetables for a complete meal that is sure to impress your guests with its professional finish and exceptional flavour profile.
