Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

1 6-pound Bone-in Pork Loin Roast
Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste)

Season 1 bone-in pork loin roast generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. If possible, let it sit overnight and bring to room temperature prior to cooking.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 Red Cabbage (cored and sliced)
3 Red Onions (sliced)
2 Fresno Chiles (thinly sliced into rounds)
2 tablespoons Caraway Seeds (toasted)
1 New Mexican Chile (toasted to release oils)
Kosher Salt (pinch)
2 cups Chicken Stock (hot)
Juice of 4 Oranges

In a large roasting pan add olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add cabbage, onions, Fresnos, toasted caraway seeds, dried chile, salt, chicken stock and orange juice. Top vegetables with pork roast.

Leave uncovered and place into the oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until an instant-read thermometer reads between 140 to 145 degrees F internal temperature.

2 tablespoons Whole Grain Mustard
Zest of 1/2 Orange
Splash Sherry Vinegar
1 bottle Champagne (semi-chilled)

When ready, remove the pork from the oven and place onto the stovetop or heatproof surface. Remove pork from pan and set aside. Add mustard, orange zest and vinegar to cabbage mixture and stir to combine. Return pork to pan. Lean the pork again the side of the pan. Place the semi-chilled champagne bottle into the pan and take the cage off the top. You can let the top pop on its own or loosen it slowly with a kitchen towel. Allow some of the champagne, about 2 cups, to spill into the pot.

Salt (to taste)
1/2 Bunch Fresh Cilantro (leaves picked) for garnish

Remove the pork from the pan and allow to rest briefly on a cutting board. Taste and season with salt. Stir in the mustard and the sherry vinegar. Remove the pork loin from the bone and slice. Place the cabbage onto a family-style platter. Fan the pork slices around the cabbage. Carve between the bones and add the bones to the platter. Garnish with cilantro leaves and spoon the pan sauce around the pork.
