Crown

A crown roast is two or more racks formed into a circle, bones up—festive, theatrical, and best for celebrations. The hollow centre can hold stuffing, though stuffing may slow cooking; many cooks roast stuffing separately. Protect bone tips with foil, season well, and roast carefully to even pinkness. Rest before carving into chops at the table. Requires butcher skill to tie; worth ordering ahead. Serve as the centrepiece, not a side thought.
