Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bone-in pork loin roast (3 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons Maldon sea salt
2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh, coarsely chopped marjoram leaves
5 Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and each cut into 8 wedges
2 whole cloves
1/2 cup Calvados
2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
Curtis Stone's Honey-Glazed Carrots, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
  • Using a sharp knife, score fat that covers the top of pork. Rub pork fat with salt, garlic, and half of the marjoram leaves. Set a roasting rack in a heavy-bottomed roasting pan; set pork on rack. Transfer to oven and roast for 30 minutes.
  • Decrease oven temperature to 350 degrees, and continue roasting the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the pork reaches 140 degrees, about 45 minutes more. Transfer pork to a cutting board, keep warm, and let rest 30 minutes.
  • Pour any pan juices into a small bowl and whisk together with remaining marjoram; cover to keep warm and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat apples and cloves in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring, until apples begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add Calvados, continue stirring until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Cover, and continue cooking apples, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and most of the juices have evaporated, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove apple mixture from heat and, using a potato masher, coarsely mash apples. Stir in sugar, if using.
  • Thinly slice pork and drizzle over reserved pan juices and serve immediately with apples and carrots.

10 juniper berries
2 (6-inch) sprigs rosemary
10 peppercorns
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 (2-pound) rack of pork (pork loin roast with 4 rib bones), frenched (ribs scraped clean of meat and fat), skin-on and scored in a 1-inch diamond pattern
Oil, for pan
1 shallot, chopped
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced
1 Bosc pear, peeled and diced
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over high heat, dissolve the salt and honey in a cup of water. Remove the pan from the heat, and add the juniper, rosemary, peppercorns, bay leaf, and garlic. Let steep until the water cools to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Add the brine mixture to a large container with a lid, and add enough very cold water until you have a gallon.

  • Remove the pork from the marinade, rinse and pat dry, Add a coating of olive oil to an oven-safe pan. Sear the pork until all of the sides are a deep golden brown. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle, reaches 150 degrees F, about 20 minutes a pound. Remove to cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for at least 15 minutes.
  • While the meat is resting, prepare the compote.
  • Pear Apple Compote:
  • Drain all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the roasting pan. Put the fat in a medium pan and add the shallots. Saute the shallots over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add all of the remaining ingredients, bring to boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the mixture until soft and thickened, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Transfer the compote to a serving bowl. Carve the pork into individual chops and serve with compote.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (2-pound) boneless center cut pork loin, trimmed and tied
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium onion, thickly sliced
2 carrots, thickly sliced
2 stalks celery, thickly, sliced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
2 apples, such as Cortland or Rome peeled, cored and cut into 8 slices
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper. Sear the meat until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and set it aside.
  • Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, herb sprigs, and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sliced apples, then push the mixture to the sides and set the pork loin in the middle of the skillet along with any collected juices on the plate. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 140 to 150 degrees F, about 30 to 35 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
  • Transfer the pork a cutting board and cover it loosely with foil while you make the sauce. Arrange the apples and vegetables on a serving platter and set aside. Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Return the skillet to a high heat and add the vinegar scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up any browned bits. Reduce by half then add the cider and reduce by about half again. Pull the skillet from the heat and whisk in the mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold butter. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Remove the strings from the roast and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange over the apple mixture. Drizzle some sauce over meat and serve the rest on the side.
  • Cook's Note: Pork cooked this way will be slightly pink. If desired, cook the pork to 160 degrees F, but be aware that this lean cut will not be as moist at the higher temperature.

FENNEL AND GARLIC-CRUSTED PORK ROAST WITH WARM QUINCE AND APPLE COMPOTE



Fennel and Garlic-Crusted Pork Roast with Warm Quince and Apple Compote image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 small head fennel with 2-inches fronds attached, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion
6 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground white pepper
1 (4 1/2 pound) pork rib roast, tied
Coarse salt, to taste
Warm Quince and Apple Compote, recipe follows
2 large tart, firm apples, such as McIntosh, Rome or Cortland (about 3/4 pound)
2 large quince (about 3/4 pound)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Coarse salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the fennel and fennel fronds, onion, and garlic, and process to a paste. Add the thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, fennel seeds, and pepper, and pulse to combine.
  • With a small, sharp knife, make shallow crosshatch cuts in the skin of the pork roast. Season it all over with salt, rubbing it in well. Rub the fennel-garlic paste over the roast to cover it with a layer about 1/4-inch thick. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Remove the roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature 20 minutes prior to cooking. Transfer the pork to a roasting pan and roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature in the thickest section of meat is 150 degrees. Cover roast with foil after the crust has browned. Remove the roast from the oven and cover it loosely with foil. Let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before removing the butcher twine and slicing it into thick chops. Serve with the compote.
  • Peel, core and dice the apples and quince into 1/2-inch dice. In a 10-inch saute pan, heat the butter over low heat. Sprinkle the sugar over the melted butter. Raise the heat to medium and cook, occasionally stirring or swirling the pan, for about 3 minutes, until the sugar melts and caramelizes. Add the quince and apples, and cook, tossing occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fruit is lightly browned and the apples have softened. The quince dice will retain their shape. Add the cider and lemon juice, and cook for about 2 minutes, until reduced but not evaporated. Season with the ginger and salt. Serve warm.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloins

SLOW COOKER PORK LOIN WITH APPLE COMPOTE



Slow Cooker Pork Loin With Apple Compote image

Lean pork loin cooks quickly, which is a disadvantage in a slow cooker. Cook's Country has discovered how to make it work. Wrap the seasoned pork in foil, invert a loaf pan to elevate the pork above the bubbling juices, where it can cook gently, and put the apple-onion mixture on the bottom to make a tasty compote to serve with the pork. A pork loin roast about 9 inches long will fit best. Nestle the inverted loaf pan into the apple mixture so that the pork fits on top and the cooker can close.
