PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED PEACHES AND CHILI LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• For the chili lime butter: In a large bowl, stir together the softened butter, parsley, shallots, miso, Fresno chiles and lime zest and season to taste with salt and pepper. In a small pot, gently melt about 1/2 cup of the chili lime butter over the grill. Set aside the remaining chili lime butter.
• For the pork: In a small bowl, combine the salt, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika and pepper. Drizzle the tenderloin with olive oil, then season all over with the spice rub. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for 1 hour.
• Preheat half of a grill to medium-high heat.
• Grill the tenderloin on the hot side of the grill on all sides until nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Once seared, move the tenderloin to the cool side of the grill and let cook with the grill lid down, turning occasionally, until the pork reaches 140 degrees F internal temperature. Remove the pork from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
• For the peaches: While the pork rests, grill the peaches. Drizzle the halved peaches with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place flesh-side down on the hot part of the grill and cook until nicely charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the peaches and spoon some of the reserved chili lime butter into the well of each peach. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes on second side, and then remove to a serving platter.
• For the salad: In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil and Dijon and season with salt and pepper. Add in the watercress, cilantro and parsley leaves and toss together.
• To serve, slice the rested tenderloin into 1-inch medallions, and then drizzle with the melted butter before serving alongside the peaches and watercress salad.

LIME AND CHILE ROASTED PORK SHOULDER

Steps:

• 1. Pulse the garlic, scallions, coriander, chipotle chile, cumin, 2 tablespoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor or mini-chopper to make a thick paste. If the butcher didn't trim the fat cap on the pork shoulder, trim off all but a thin layer of fat. Make deep incisions with a paring knife, at about 2-inch intervals, all over the meat. Rub the garlic and spice mixture into and all over the meat.
• 2. Combine the lime zest and juice, orange juice, adobo sauce, olive oil, and cinnamon in a nonreactive stainless steel or glass bowl. Add the meat, cover tightly with plastic wrap, making sure the meat is submerged. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up 2 days. Bring to room temperature about 1 hour before roasting.
• 3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the pork, fat-side up, in a large Dutch oven. Roast the meat, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Add the marinade to the pot and cover with the lid. Lower the temperature to 350 degrees F and roast for 2 hours more. Uncover and continue to cook, basting occasionally, until an instant read thermometer inserted into the meat registers 190 degrees F and the meat is a rich burnished brown, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Set aside on a cutting board to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
• 4. For the sauce: Strain the pan drippings through a fine mesh sieve into a gravy separator and discard all excess fat. In a small saucepan, mix the pan drippings with 1/2 cup water and bring to a vigorous boil. Slice the meat and serve with the pan drippings.

PERUVIAN PORK STEW WITH CHILES, LIME AND APPLES

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet and brown the pork in it on all sides; you may have to do this in batches for the most efficient browning. Meanwhile, sauté the onions and apples in a pan with the chiles, bay leaves and cloves until the onions are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan, Dutch oven or slow cooker. Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles steadily but not vigorously. (If you're using a slow cooker, turn it to high and walk away for 4 or 6 hours.)
• Cook, stirring every 30 minutes or so, until the meat is very tender and just about falling apart, at least an hour. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then lower the heat (this will keep well for at least an hour before serving). Remove the meat, then reduce the broth as necessary; serve over steamed rice, garnished with cilantro.

ROAST PORK WITH SWEET-AND-SOUR CHILE CILANTRO SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare pork loin:
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Coarsely crush coriander seeds with a mortar and pestle or an electric coffee/spice grinder, then stir together with bread crumbs, oil, pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
• Turn pork so a long side is closest to you and season with salt and pepper. Pat one third of seasoned crumbs onto pork, leaving a 2-inch border along top edge. Starting with side nearest you, roll meat into a cylinder and tie securely with kitchen string. Coat pork with remaining crumbs.
• Roast pork on a rack in a roasting pan in middle of oven 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer diagonally inserted at least 2 inches into meat registers 155°F, 1 to 1 1/4 hours more. Let pork stand, loosely covered, 10 minutes.
• Make sauce while pork roasts:
• Simmer bell pepper, caribe, honey, lime juice, and salt in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Cool sauce to warm or room temperature, then stir in cilantro just before serving.
• Slice pork and serve with sauce.
