Best Pork Chops With Tangy Red Currant Sauce Recipes

JUICY HERBED PORK LOIN WITH CURRANT SAUCE

Steps:

• Pork Loin Directions-------------.
• Set oven to 475 degrees.
• Pierce top of pork loin with sharp knife about every one or two inches, depending on your fondness for garlic (if there is a fatty layer, that would be the top side), Insert slivered garlic into the slits made by the knife.
• Combine mustard, thyme, savory, marjoram, salt and pepper to make a smooth paste.
• Spread all over pork loin, roll the loin in chopped parsley.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in refrigerator for at least one hour.
• Place on rack in shallow roasting pan.
• Roast in 475 degree oven for exactly 30 minutes.
• Pull loin out, and rest on countertop (uncovered) for exactly 30 minutes.
• (This step is very important! The loin will continue to cook internally as it rests at room temperature, and this creates a juicy loin).
• As the loin is resting, turn oven temperature down to 325 degrees.
• After the loin has rested, put it back in the oven (325 degrees), and bake for approx.
• 30- 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
• Do not overcook!
• Let the loin rest uncovered for 15-20 minutes before slicing, the internal temperature will continue to climb even after taking the loin from the oven.
• (150-155 degrees) While the loin is resting, begin the currant sauce.
• Currant Sauce Directions-------------.
• Over medium heat, melt jam.
• Whisk in mustard, vinegar, and salt and pepper until smooth.
• Slice the loin very thinly, and pour a stream of currant sauce over the slices for presentation.
• Enjoy!

RED CURRANT SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in medium saucepan.
• Start cooking over medium temperature and lower after a while to maintain a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
• I started with frozen currants and cooked for 25 minutes, I imagine 20 minutes would be sufficient for fresh currants and the first 5 minutes was more or less defrosting them.
