CREAMY MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH ROSEMARY GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Tenderloin:
• Rub tenderloin with oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for an hour or 2 in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe saute pan over high heat. Sear tenderloin on all sides until nicely colored all over. Transfer pan to oven and roast for 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before thinly slicing on the bias. Serve with the risotto and garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
• Risotto:
• Place mushrooms in a bowl and pour boiling water over them; cover and let sit 10 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and sweat until they start to turn translucent in color, just a couple minutes. Add rice and stir around until all the grains are covered with oil. To the rice, add the stock and wine. Remove the mushrooms from their liquid, reserving the liquid, and chop them roughly. Add the mushrooms with their liquid to the pot. Add salt, raise heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Stir well, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring once more after 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, pecorino, and parsley. Serve with sliced tenderloin.

GARLICKY PORK AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Slice the pork AGAINST the grain as thinly as possible;.
• if using un-frozen pork, place it in the freezer beforehand for 30 minutes to one hour which will make this much easier (if using pre-frozen pork, simply slice it before it is completely thawed).
• Heat 1 TBS of the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed soup pan (I use a non-stick one), and when it is hot, add the flattened garlic clove.
• Fry the garlic till it is browned, then remove and discard.
• Add the pork slices and quickly stir-fry till completely cooked through (just a few minutes); remove and set aside.
• Heat the butter and remaining olive oil in the pan.
• Add the onion and minced garlic and saute just until the garlic becomes fragrant.
• Add in the rice and mix well to coat the grains with the oil.
• While doing this, bring the water with chicken bouillon cubes added to a boil in a large pot, then reduce to a low simmer.
• Using a one-cup ladle, add enough of the simmering broth just to cover the rice, adjusting the heat under the rice so that it is at a low simmer.
• As the rice absorbs this liquid, add another ladleful of the simmering broth to the rice, stirring as needed and repeatedly adding more broth just as the previous amount is absorbed by the rice (but never allowing the rice to go completely dry); this process will take 30-45 minutes, but can't be rushed.
• After the last of the bouillon is absorbed, the rice will be cooked and creamy in consistency.
• Add in the cream, wine, paprika and cheese and mix well.
• Add in the mushrooms, parsley and pork slices, again mixing well.
• Allow to simmer an additional 2-3 minutes, to heat everything through and till the mushrooms just begin to wilt but not cook.
• Add pepper if needed, then serve immediately.

• Add rice and garlic to skillet. Cook over medium heat 30 seconds, stirring frequently. Stir in pumpkin and 1/2 cup of the broth. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed. Stir in an additional 1/2 cup broth. Continue cooking about 15 minutes, stirring constantly and adding broth 1/2 cup at a time after previous additions have been absorbed.
• Add pork and any remaining broth to skillet. Cover and cook 5 to 10 minutes or until pork is slightly pink when cut near bone and rice is creamy and just tender. Stir in cheese and salt.

RISOTTO WITH PIGEON PEAS AND PULLED PORK (RISOTTO CON GANDULES Y PERNIL)

Steps:

• Season pork with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Pour in 2 cups chicken stock. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer pork until is fork-tender, about 1 hour. Shred with a fork and transfer to a plate.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pot over medium heat. Add pigeon peas and onion; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in arborio rice. Pour in enough chicken stock to barely cover the rice; cook and stir until absorbed. Continue adding stock, stirring often, until each addition is absorbed and rice is tender yet firm to the bite, about 20 minutes.

TENDERLOIN OF PORK HONGROISE WITH CRAB RISOTTO AND TRI-PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Early in the day, rinse pork loin to remove any unwanted smells and pat dry with paper toweling. In a large saute pan, heat the oil and sear the pork loin on all sides. Remove pork to a utility platter and coat liberally with mustard, then roll in Smokey Rotisserie Seasoning. Leave refrigerated for a couple of hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large saucepan, bring the 5 cups vegetable stock (for the rice) to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Transfer the pork loin to a covered roasting pan and slowly roast in the oven until fork tender, about 45 minutes. Allow pork loin to rest for 8 to 10 minutes before slicing.
• While the pork is in the oven, in another large saucepan or rondelle, heat the grapeseed oil and saute the chopped onion gently until translucent. Add the Arborio rice and using a wooden spoon stir to coat the rice with oil and to toast the rice in the pan. Add the white wine, bay leaves, and saffron and continue to stir to avoid sticking. Begin slowly adding the now hot vegetable broth, 1 ladle at a time, to the rice pan, stirring occasionally. This will bring out the starch in the rice. As the mixture absorbs the broth, ladle more into the pot. When all of the broth has been ladled into the rice pot, slowly simmer until rice begins to soften. Reduce the heat and gently stir in the chives, Parmesan, and crabmeat, trying not to break up the lumps of crab. Remove from heat when it is slightly undercooked and set aside. Rice will continue to cook in covered pot.
• Heat the grapeseed oil in a saute pan and cook the red, yellow and green bell peppers and onion until al dente. Add the red wine and let it reduce by half. Pour in 1/2 cup vegetable stock and let reduce again. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Remove pan from heat and whisk in butter to finish sauce.
• Place crab risotto in the middle of serving plate, place pork slices over the risotto and cover with a little sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Dredge pork cutlets in flour mixture, then egg wash and then matzoh crumble. Heat the oil in a skillet and pan fry.

• Coat the cutlets with flour, place two in the pan (or as many that can fit) and add the butter. Once the cutlets are golden brown on one side, approximately 2 minutes, turn over and sear on other side. Remove from the heat. Repeat with the remaining cutlets and set aside until assembly.
• For the sauteed persimmon: Heat the butter and rosemary in a saute pan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, place the persimmons in the pan and saute until golden brown. Add the chile, sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss, remove from the heat and set aside until assembly.
• For the barley risotto: Heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the whites of the green onions and cook until tender and translucent. Add the barley and bay leaf and stir to coat the ingredients in the oil. Add the white wine and allow to reduce. Add half the chicken stock and soy sauce and stir. Once the barley has absorbed the liquid, add the remaining stock and stir. Once the liquid is absorbed and the barley is creamy and thick in texture, remove from the heat. Add the Parmesan, lemon zest, season with salt and pepper, stir and set aside. Garnish with the green onion slices before serving.
• To assemble: Spoon the barley risotto in the center of 4 serving plates. Place 1 large or 2 smaller pieces of pork loin cutlet over the barley risotto. Spoon sauteed persimmons over the pork loin cutlets and enjoy.
