nobullet.gif (56 bytes)
Dave Clarke was intending to head south for a charter trip and checked in with Searoom to chat about oven roasting on board. "Tell me about it!" says I, and here's the result.

Dave Clarke's Calypso Pork with Lime Sauce
1- 2 lbs. pork loin
1 C firmly packed brown sugar
2 Tbs dark rum (Meyers is best)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp grated ginger
1 bay leaf, crumbled
1 tsp salt (kosher salt is best)
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1/2 tsp ground clove

1/2 C chicken stock
1/4 C light rum (Mount Gay Rum is best)
1 Tbs flour (approx)
1/4 C fresh squeezed limejuice

Preheat oven to 375. Place pork in large roasting pan. Roast until
thermometer in center displays 160 (about 1.5 hrs) Increase heat to 450.

Mix sugar and next 7 ingredients in medium bowl until paste forms. Cut
strings off pork. Spread spice paste over pork. Continue roasting 8
minutes.

Transfer pork to platter. Set roasting pan over medium heat. Add chicken
stock and 1/4 C light rum and bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits.
Sprinkle flour over sauce, whisk to blend. Add limejuice, whisk & boil.
Slice and serve.

This is wonderful with roasted potatoes or any other side dish which will be complemented by the rich sauce made!


We had a great dinner aboard! Suggestions for anybody trying this (or other oven roasting) is to bring with you an oven thermometer so you can regulate the temperature of the oven. Most ovens on boats don't have proper oven settings, rather a 1-6 setting. I also brought with me a roasting thermometer which read the internal temp of the roast.

It was delicious! I suggest you try it aboard or on land!


The crew tucking into Dave's Roast Dinner
 
We started our journey out of Hodge's Creek, Tortola. Then to The Bight on Norman Is., Then to the Baths, Virgin Gorda followed by an overnight at The Bitter End (which is where we enjoyed our pork dinner). Then on to Anagada for lobster! We made our way back to Tortola for the Full Moon Party at the Bomba Shack. Then over to Jost Van Dyke and the Soggy Dollar Bar with an overnight at Great Harbor and Foxy's.

Any body need crew for their next charter??? We'll bring the roast! Chartering is by far and away the most fun vacation we've taken. If you haven't tried it... you need to go!
