ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS, SHALLOTS AND GARLIC



Roasted Pork Loin with Brussels Sprouts, Shallots and Garlic image

I love this recipe because it elevates a lean cut of pork and makes it rich and tender. Whenever I roast a whole cut of meat, I also love to include "built-in" vegetables. These vegetables end up with a wonderful flavor after cooking in the oven. It is important, however, to make sure the pork roast has enough air circulating around (and underneath it) as it cooks. Use a roasting pan fitted with a grill rack so the meat is slightly elevated as it cooks.

Time 13h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup grainy mustard
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
1/2 cup white wine
8 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 pork loin, preferably center cut or relatively "even" in thickness from one side of it to the other
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 cloves garlic, separated but not peeled
2 cups Brussels sprouts, washed and trimmed of any outer leaves
14 to 20 small shallots, peeled
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1/3 cup coarse breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar

Steps:

  • For the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, grainy mustard, the zest and juice from one of the lemons, white wine, fresh thyme, and the butter. Put the pork loin directly into the mixture, smoothing it on the meat like a paste. Refrigerate.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. When the oil begins to smoke, remove the skillet from the direct heat. Remove the pork loin from the bowl, leaving behind any excess mustard mixture.
  • Reserve the mustard mixture. Season the meat on all sides with salt and gingerly place the pork loin in the hot oil. Put the skillet back on the heat and brown the pork, without moving it around, for 3 minutes. Use a pair of kitchen tongs (or two large spoons) to gently (but firmly) rotate the pork a 1/4 turn in the oil. Repeat this process turning the pork every 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the garlic cloves, Brussels sprouts, and shallots in a bowl with the remaining olive oil, and white wine. Season with salt and the chili flakes. Place the vegetables evenly in the bottom of the roasting pan. When the pork is browned on all sides, remove it from the skillet and place it on a rack in the roasting pan. Take care to disperse the vegetables so the heat in the oven can circulate around and under the pork as it cooks. Pour any remaining marinade over the pork.
  • Finishing and serving the pork: Place the roasting pan in the center of the oven and cook for 35 to 45 minutes. Test the temperature in the center of the loin.
  • If underdone, cook for 5 to 10 additional minutes and test again. Remove the pork from the pan and allow it to "rest" for 10 minutes. Place the roasting pan on top of the stove. Put the heat on low and add the Sherry vinegar and the remaining lemon zest and juice. Stir to blend with the vegetables. Taste for seasoning, then sprinkle with the breadcrumbs.
  • Place the pork in the center of a platter (sliced or whole) and spoon the vegetables and any cooking liquid over the top.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup 1/4" cubes salt pork or pancetta (about 8 ounces)
2 large shallots, peeled, quartered (about 1 1/2 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts, outer leaves removed, trimmed, halved
1-2 tablespoons juice from jarred dill pickles

Steps:

  • Blanch salt pork in a large saucepan of boiling water for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer salt pork to a paper towel- lined plate to drain. Set aside. DO AHEAD: Salt pork can be blanched 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
  • Cook salt pork in a large heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until about 3/4 cup fat is rendered, 10-12 minutes. Carefully strain drippings into a small bowl; return 2 tablespoons drippings and pork to pan.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until salt pork is browned and crisp, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons drippings to skillet; add shallots, cut sides down. Cook, turning once or twice, until tender and browned, 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer shallots to a serving platter.
  • Increase heat to medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons more salt pork drippings to skillet. Working in 2 batches and adding 2 more tablespoons drippings between batches, cook brussels sprouts, turning occasionally, until tender and browned. Transfer brussels sprouts to platter with shallots. DO AHEAD: Shallots and brussels sprouts can be made 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm shallots and brussels sprouts together in same skillet over medium heat before continuing.
  • Drizzle shallots and brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon pickle juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper and 1 tablespoon more pickle juice, if desired. Scatter salt pork over.

CRISPY ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND SHALLOTS



Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Shallots image

Slivered brussels sprouts and shallots caramelize, getting crisp and golden if you roast them at high heat. A dash of Worcestershire and a drizzle of lemon juice add just enough tang and acidity to round them out, without obscuring their natural sweetness. If you're not cooking for a crowd, feel free to halve the recipe and use one baking sheet. Serve these as a simple side dish to roast meats or fish, or use it to top a grain bowl, adding a fried or jammy egg for protein.

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed and sliced 1/4-inch thick
3 shallots, sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
8 thyme sprigs
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, plus more to taste

Grated Parmesan, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss together brussels sprouts, shallots, olive oil and salt. Evenly divide brussels sprouts mixture between two rimmed 13-by-18-inch baking sheets, spreading everything into one layer. Top with thyme sprigs.
  • Roast, stirring once, until brussels sprouts and shallots are tender, golden and lightly charred in spots, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together garlic, Worcestershire and lemon juice.
  • As soon as brussels sprouts emerge from oven, immediately drizzle with Worcestershire dressing, tossing to combine. Taste and add more salt, lemon juice, or Worcestershire if needed. Top with grated Parmesan if you like and serve immediately.
