Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 220 °C (425 °F). Season the pork rack with lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- 2
Drizzle a little olive oil into a roasting dish and spread evenly. Place the pork rack in the center and wrap each rib with a slice of bacon.
- 3
Arrange the potato, tomato, and onion rounds around the meat, slightly overlapping. Drizzle everything generously with olive oil.
- 4
Roast at 220 °C (425 °F) for 40 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the meat is well browned. Lower the temperature to 160 °C (320 °F) and roast for another 30 minutes until the meat is tender and the vegetables are caramelized.

Rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad or rustic bread.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra-tender meat, marinate the pork rack in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. Add fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs to the dish before roasting for a fragrant herby aroma.
