Cormarye (Coriander-Caraway Sauce)Recipe from Handout5-7 lb. pork loin roast1-2 tsp. coriander seeds 1-2 tsp. caraway seeds 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed 1 cup red wine 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper Grind the caraway and coriander seeds, using a small coffee mill, grinder, mortar or sturdy food processor. Crush them as finely as possible. Then add the rest of the broth ingredients and mix with the seeds. A blender or food processor will be a good idea for this. Prick the pork loin and marinate in the sauce for an hour or two at least, if possible. Roast at 350 degrees, estimating 25 minutes per pound. Baste with the pan juice from time to time (every 15 minutes or so). When the roast is done, pour off the (degreased) drippings into a saucepan, and add a small amount of beef, pork or chicken broth (perhaps 1/2 cup). Stir and bring to a boil; thicken with breadcrumbs if you wish, and serve as a sauce for the pork. Source for Recipe PresentedForme of Cury (AD 1390) - Redaction from Pleyn Delit #101Constance B.
