INSTANT POT PORK LOIN WITH CARROTS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Stir to combine the brown sugar, dill, paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the pork loin.
• Set a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® to medium saute (see Cook's Note) and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork loin and brown all over, turning with tongs, about 4 minutes. Remove to a plate. Add the onions and carrots and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, thyme and sage. Stir to coat the vegetables in the tomato paste. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and return to a simmer. Tuck the bay leaf into the sauce and nestle the pork loin in the middle (it will not be covered by liquid).
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 30 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 10 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Remove the pork to a cutting board.
• Return the sauce to a simmer on the medium saute setting. Mash the butter and flour into a paste with a fork in a small bowl. Whisk into the simmering sauce and cook, whisking, until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Discard the bay leaf and stir in the parsley. Thinly slice the pork and serve with the sauce.

ROAST PORK W/ CELERY ROOT AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Cut a pocket between the fat and meat of the loin. Reserve the outside leaves of the leek. Chop the remainder and fry until softened in butter.
• Mix the cheese, bread crumbs, half the mustard, seasoning and leeks together. Place in the pocket, and secure joint with string.
• Mix the softened butter, remaining mustard, thyme and sage and rub into the pork. Pierce the loin and insert garlic slices.
• Place on a trivet in a roasting pan and cook in a preheated oven at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes, then at 350 degrees for 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
• Place the reserved leek leaves in a bowl of boiling water to soften for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Boil carrots and celery root until just tender.
• Drain the leeks and cut into narrow strips. Make bundles of carrots and celery root and tie with the leek strips.
• Remove the string from the roast and place on a warm dish.

ROAST LOIN OF PORK WITH FENNEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• With a mortar and pestle, or in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, grind together the garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, and thyme leaves. Add the mustard. Spread the mixture over the loin of pork and allow it to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the fennel bulbs in thick wedges, cutting through the core. Toss the fennel, carrots, potatoes, and onions in a bowl with the olive oil, melted butter, salt, and pepper to taste. Place the vegetables in a large roasting pan and cook for 30 minutes. Add the pork loin to the pan and continue to cook for another 30 to 50 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the middle of the pork reads exactly 138 degrees. Remove the meat from the pan and return the vegetables to the oven to keep cooking. Cover the meat with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the strings from the meat and slice it thickly. Arrange the meat and vegetables on a platter. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve warm.
