Best Pork Tenderloin With Polenta Cakes Recipes

PORK WITH ROSEMARY POLENTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the mustard, vinegar, chopped rosemary and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl; brush all over the pork. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until a thermometer registers 145 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest.
• Wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the garlic and red pepper flakes; cook over medium heat, 2 minutes. Add the broccoli, 1/4 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover; cook 5 minutes.
• Bring 3 cups water, the milk, rosemary sprig and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat; discard the rosemary. Whisk in the polenta and cook, whisking, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parmesan. Slice the pork and serve with the broccoli and polenta.

PARMESAN PORK WITH POLENTA AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Pound cutlets to 1/4 inch thick; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with juice of 1/2 lemon, turning to evenly coat. Stir together Parmesan and flour on a plate. Dredge cutlets in Parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. When oil shimmers, add 4 cutlets in a single layer; cook, flipping once, until golden brown and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe skillet clean; repeat with 2 more tablespoons oil and remaining 4 cutlets. Wipe skillet clean; heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over medium-high. Add polenta and cook, flipping once, until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook asparagus in a pot of generously salted boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and transfer to plates. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with oil, and top with finely grated lemon zest and shaved Parmesan. Serve with cutlets, polenta, and lemon wedges.

PORK MARSALA WITH POLENTA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Lay the polenta slices on a baking sheet and brush the tops with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Broil until browned around the edges and crisp, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the pork and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side; remove to a plate. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the mushrooms, sliced garlic, shallot and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms brown in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth and wine; bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Return the pork and any juices to the skillet. Cook over low heat until the pork is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the orange juice and season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the orange zest, parsley and minced garlic in a small bowl. Divide the polenta among plates. Top with the pork, mushroom sauce and parsley mixture.
