Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon sumac
Glaze
3 tablespoons sorghum syrup (southern sweetener; can be replaced with 2 tablespoons of honey)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Sauce
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 teaspoon miso
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Garnish
Fennel fronds, chopped
Combine ingredients for Glaze and set aside. Score the pork into a crisscross pattern on all sides and season the pork liberally with salt and pepper.
Preheat the pot with [MED] heat. Once [GRILL OK] sign appears, spread vegetable oil evenly and sear pork for about 10 minutes or until deep brown on all sides.

Remove the bones from the pork rack in one piece by running your knife between the meat and the bones. Cut the pork into slices about ½ inch thick and transfer the slices to the platter. Add fennel on the side and top with sauce. Sprinkle chopped fennel fronds and serve.
