Salting a roast properly enhances its flavor and creates a delicious crust. Here’s one method for salting a roast:
Salting Method for Roasting
This method involves using a bed of salt in the roasting pan and a salt crust.
Steps:
-
Prepare the Roasting Pan: Cover the bottom of a roasting pan with a layer of kosher salt. The amount will depend on the size of your pan; aim for about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep.
-
Place the Roast: Place the roast, bone side down (if applicable), directly onto the bed of kosher salt in the pan.
-
Season the Meat: Season the top and sides of the meat generously with freshly ground black pepper and seasoning salt. Adjust the amount of seasoning salt to your preference.
-
Create a Salt Crust: Completely cover the roast with more kosher salt. The salt crust should be thick enough to encase the entire roast.
This method is adapted from various salting techniques and is designed to create a flavorful, well-seasoned roast with a delightful crust. Remember to adjust quantities based on the size and type of your roast.
