Time 1h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup flat leaf parsley, fresh, packed
1/4 cup sage, packed, roughly chopped (plus whole sage leaves for roasting)
3 garlic cloves, whole
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 (3 1/2 lb) boneless pork loin roast, about 3 1/2 lb, halved horizontally
3 ripe red Anjou pears, halved lengthwise
4 leeks, white portions only, trimmed, halved lengthwise and rinsed
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of an oven and preheat to 400°F
  • In a mini food processor, process the parsley, chopped sage, whole garlic, salt, pepper and 3 Tbs. of the olive oil until a fine paste forms.
  • Spread the mixture on the cut side of one half of the pork loin, then place the other half on top. Tie the roast together with kitchen twine and tuck whole sage leaves underneath the twine.
  • Season the roast with salt and pepper.
  • In a 5 1/2-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm the remaining 2 Tbs. olive oil. Add the pears, cut side down, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the pork to the pot and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
  • Place the leeks, cut side down, in the pot in a single layer. Set the pork on top and place the pears along the sides of the pot.
  • Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 140°F, 45 to 55 minutes.
  • Transfer the pork to a carving board, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  • Transfer the leeks and pears to a platter.
  • Pour the pan drippings into a bowl and discard all but 2 teaspoons of the fat. Warm the reserved fat in the pot over medium-high heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and flour and cook, stirring frequently, for 30 seconds.
  • Add the wine and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
  • Add the broth and pan drippings and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the mustard and cream. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the pork into slices and arrange on the platter. Pass the sauce alongside.

Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 cups (1 pint) refrigerated prepared pico de gallo
1 to 2 tablespoons minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (about half chipotle peppers and half adobo sauce), optional
1 to 2 tablespoons minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (about half chipotle peppers and half adobo sauce), optional
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 1/4 pounds), cut into 4 pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 tostada shells, warmed if desired
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
3 small radishes, thinly sliced
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup of the pico de gallo and the chipotle in adobo, if using, and cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes begin to break down, about 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Sprinkle the pork with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the pork to the skillet with the sauce and return to a simmer. Cover the skillet and simmer, flipping once, until the pork is just cooked through and tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the pork, cover loosely with aluminum foil and set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring the sauce in the skillet to a boil and cook over medium-low heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Shred the pork with 2 forks, add it back to the skillet and toss well to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Divide the shredded pork among the tostadas. Top with lettuce, cheese and the remaining pico de gallo. Drizzle with crema and top with radish slices. Serve with lime wedges.
