Best Pork Tenderloin With Kalamata Olives Recipes

PORK MARBELLA

Steps:

• Season pork with salt. Let sit 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix wine, prunes, olives, brown sugar, capers and brine, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and ¼ cup oil in a medium bowl to combine; set sauce aside (or use it to marinate pork up to 12 hours).
• Place a rack in center of oven; preheat to 325°F. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Cook pork, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, 6-8 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat and let sit 1 minute so pan can cool down a bit. Pour reserved sauce over pork and give pan a few shakes. Transfer to oven and roast pork, basting with sauce halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of tenderloin registers 145°F, 22-26 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
• Return pan to medium-high heat. Add butter to sauce and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until butter is melted and sauce is slightly reduced, 3-5 minutes. Stir in parsley if using.
• Slice tenderloin crosswise against the grain. Transfer to a platter and spoon pan sauce over.

OLIVE-STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Season pork all over with salt and black pepper. Using a sharp knife, make several slits in pork, about 1-inch deep. Stuff olives into slits all over pork. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to an oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Sear pork on all sides and then remove from heat. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, 2 tablespoons oil, honey, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Pour mixture all over pork. Bake approximately 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer registers 150 to 160 degrees F. Let pork stand 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into 1-inch thick slices.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH KALAMATA OLIVES

Steps:

• Cut the pork tenderloin into inch size chunks. Sear the chunks in a large frying pan with a little olive oil and set aside. Mince the garlic, chop the onion and saute in a large pot with a little olive oil. When the onions are almost soft add the thyme and oregano and continue to saute for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes, the wine, the chicken broth, the salt, the pepper, the olives and the balsamic vinegar. Add the seared pork with its juices. Simmer gently for 45 - 60 minutes. Serve in large bowls.

OLIVE AND MEDJOOL DATE STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Using a slicing knife, make an incision parallel to the cutting board into the pork loin (butterfly). The incision should run from end to end lengthwise, and leave about 1/2 inch of the pork loin intact opposite the side of the incision. You should be left with the pork loin opened into about an 8-by-10-inch piece.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sausage, olives, dates and shallots. Mix in the cream, breadcrumbs and egg yolk, and finish with the parsley. Season with the za'atar and some salt and pepper.
• Stuff the pork loin by spreading the mixture down one side of the opened loin and folding over the other half. You should leave about 1/2 inch of extra space for the ends of the pork to seal again, keeping the filling centered. Cut 8 long pieces of butcher's twine and tie the loin together to form it back to its original shape.
• Put the loin on a roasting rack in a pan and season with salt and pepper. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F, 50 to 60 minutes. Rest the meat for 10 minutes before slicing. You should have 8 even slices from the roast.

PORK CHOPS PUTTANESCA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat oil over high. Season pork chops with salt and pepper and cook until deep brown on one side, 5 minutes. Flip and cook, 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and reduce heat to medium-high.
• Add garlic to pan and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, olives, capers, anchovies, and pork chops. Transfer pan to the oven and cook until sauce is reduced and pork chops are cooked through, 5 minutes.

BRAISED PORK ROAST WITH OLIVES

Steps:

• Place oil over medium-high heat in a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven or stovetop casserole. Add pork and sear on all sides until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Remove meat.

• Place over very low heat and cook, basting occasionally, 40 to 45 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer reads 140 degrees. Add a little more stock if liquid cooks down too fast. Remove meat to a platter to rest 15 to 20 minutes; temperature will rise to 150 to 155 degrees.
• Reheat sauce and add olives and parsley. Adjust seasoning as needed.
• Slice meat and cut ribs apart. Arrange all on a platter, spoon sauce over and serve.
