Apple Cider Pork Roast With Sauerkraut Apples Food

PORK ROAST WITH SAUERKRAUT APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF. Season pork generously with salt and pepper. Tie it up with kitchen twine if there are loose pieces that need to be held in. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat until hot but not smoking. Brown pork for about 5 minutes per side until most of it has a nice brown crust. Transfer pork to a plate.
• Pour all the fat out of the pot and into a heatproof cup. Add 2 tablespoons of fat back to the pot. Add the onions. Reduce the heat to medium and cook onions for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to brown. Stir in sauerkraut and half the apple slices. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons cider syrup. Season with a little salt and pepper. Put the pork on top. Scatter the rest of the apple slices around the pork. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of cider syrup over the pork. Cover and cook in the hot oven for 30 minutes.
• Turn the oven temp down to 325ºF and cook, covered, for 2 hours longer, until it's nice and tender and cooked through.

PORK LOIN, APPLES, AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix sauerkraut, apples, onion, and caraway seeds in a large roasting pan. Stir 1/4 cup apple cider and brown sugar together in a separate bowl; pour over sauerkraut mixture.
• Stir Thai seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper together in a small bowl; rub onto the top and bottom of the roast.
• Make an indentation in the center of the sauerkraut mixture and place the seasoned roast in the indentation. Pour the remaining apple cider around the roast.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour; baste roast with juices. Continue baking roast, basting every 30 minutes, until cooked through, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

ROAST PORK LOIN WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper. Sear the meat until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and set it aside.
• Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, herb sprigs, and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sliced apples, then push the mixture to the sides and set the pork loin in the middle of the skillet along with any collected juices on the plate. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 140 to 150 degrees F, about 30 to 35 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
• Transfer the pork a cutting board and cover it loosely with foil while you make the sauce. Arrange the apples and vegetables on a serving platter and set aside. Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Return the skillet to a high heat and add the vinegar scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up any browned bits. Reduce by half then add the cider and reduce by about half again. Pull the skillet from the heat and whisk in the mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold butter. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Remove the strings from the roast and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange over the apple mixture. Drizzle some sauce over meat and serve the rest on the side.
• Cook's Note: Pork cooked this way will be slightly pink. If desired, cook the pork to 160 degrees F, but be aware that this lean cut will not be as moist at the higher temperature.
