Citrus Brined Pork Loin With Peach Mustard Food

SICILIAN GRILLED PORK LOIN WITH AGRODOLCE GRILLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Tie the loin with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals and add to the Honey-Rosemary Brine in a large container. Brine the pork loin in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours. Remove from the brine, rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour before grilling.
• Prepare the charcoal in a chimney starter (allowing the charcoal to burn until all the charcoal is covered with a thin layer of gray ash) and add to the grill, creating a two-level fire by spreading the coals out over half the grill bottom, piling them up in a mound 3 briquettes high, leaving the other half with no coals. Spread the soaked wood chips evenly over the top and the rosemary sprigs or sage leaves, if desired. Put the cooking grate in place and open the grill lid vents halfway. Let the grate heat for 5 minutes. Use a grill brush to scrape the cooking grate clean.
• Brush the entire loin with the olive oil and sprinkle with pepper. Place the pork on the opposite side of the coals but close to the fire. Cover with the lid and turn the lid so that the vents are opposite the fire to draw smoke through the grill. Use a grill thermometer and make sure the heat inside the grill is at 400 degrees F.
• Grill the pork, covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers about 135 degrees F. This will take anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes, depending the thickness of the loin.
• Transfer the loin to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil and let rest 15 minutes before cutting into thick slices. Serve with the Agrodolce Grilled Peaches and drizzle some of the reduced peach glaze over the meat.
• Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the broth, salt, honey, sugar, peppercorns, rosemary and garlic, stirring to dissolve the salt. Remove from the heat and add the ice cubes to cool quickly to room temperature.
• Bring the vinegar, honey, nectar and some salt and pepper to a simmer in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Cook until the liquid is reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Brush the cut side of the peaches with the canola oil, season with salt and pepper and place cut-side down on the grill over medium-high heat. Grill until lightly golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, cook 1 to 2 minutes then brush with the glaze and cook another minute or so. The peaches should be tender but hold their shape. Transfer the peaches to a platter and drizzle with some of the glaze.

ROSEMARY-MUSTARD PORK WITH PEACHES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high. Pat the pork dry and season with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill, then grill the pork, turning, until marked, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the peaches, wine, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan. Remove strips of zest from the lemon with a vegetable peeler and add to the pan; squeeze in the lemon juice. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until the peaches are just tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Add the mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the juices in the pan. Transfer 1/3 cup of the liquid to a small bowl and stir in the chopped rosemary; brush onto the pork and continue grilling until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F, 10 to 15 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
• Meanwhile, simmer the remaining liquid in the saucepan until syrupy, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt. Return the peaches to the pan along with the rosemary sprigs. Slice the pork and serve with the peaches.

Grill over direct heat, bone side up, until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Turn pork and grill, bone side down, until lightly charred, about 5 minutes more.
• Transfer pork to cooler side of grill, bone side up; cover grill. Grill pork, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of loin registers 145°, 45-60 minutes. (The internal temperature of grill should be 400°; add more charcoal or adjust heat as needed.)

BRINED PORK ROAST WITH ROASTED PEACHES

Steps:

• Place brine ingredients, water through bay leaves, in a large plastic juice container.
• I like to mix the brine ahead of time in a giant plastic container to be sure the sugar and salt dissolve.
• I usually do this the night before, and refrigerate.
• Line a large stockpot or roasting pan with a plastic garbage bag, large enough to fit the roast and the liquid.
• Place pork roast in bag, and pour brine mixture over the meat.
• Tie the bag tightly at the top, so that the entire roast is submerged in the liquid.
• Refrigerate for 6 hours (I flipped it once after 3 hours) Remove pork from the brine, and pat dry with paper towels.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Note about the roast: I find better results if the fat layer is left on.
• Please do not over trim this part, or roast will become too dry.
• Season entire roast generously with salt and pepper.
• Lay the fresh rosemary sprigs over top, and tie the roast with butcher’s twine, securing the meat a bit more snugly to the bone, which will help it hold it’s shape and cook evenly.

• Sear the pork, fat side down until it has a nice caramelized color.
• Repeat this for all sides of the roast.

• If fresh peaches are not available, used the canned, omit the honey in the marinade.
• You may use a bit of the reserved peach juice to taste instead Place peaches in roasting pan, and pour marinade over them.
• Give them a toss with your hands and place cut side down.
• Roast in oven for about 15 minutes, or until the fresh peaches are soft.
• When pork is finished, remove it to a cutting board, and let rest while you make the sauce.
