Roasted Double Rack of Pork with Morel Mushroom Sauce by pescador

With today's leaner pork, the traditional crown roast technique (which requires cutting between each rib chop to form the "crown") tends to produce overcooked meat before the bone end is done. So instead, ask the butcher to french the bones of two rib racks and present them back-to-back. Servings: Makes 12 servings.
