Fennel Stuffed Pork Loin With Miso Marmalade Glaze Food

LOIN OF PORK WITH FENNEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the stuffing, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan. Add the onions and fennel with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook over low to medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions and fennel are tender and lightly browned. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 more minute. Add the Pernod and cook for another minute, deglazing the pan. Cool slightly.
• Add the bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon of salt to the stuffing mixture. Lay the pork on a board fat side down, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing evenly on the pork and roll up lengthwise, ending with the fat on the top of the roll. Tie with kitchen string, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
• Place the rolled pork loin on a baking rack on a sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F and roast for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the interior of the pork is 137 degrees F. (If the thermometer hits stuffing rather than pork, it will register a higher temperature, so test the meat in several places.) Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the strings, slice thickly, and serve.

FENNEL-STUFFED PORK LOIN WITH MISO-MARMALADE GLAZE

Steps:

• In a large shallow baking dish, stir together miso, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and marmalade; season with salt and pepper. Set aside 1/2 cup glaze. Add pork to dish, turning to coat; let marinate for 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Heat a large skillet over high heat; add olive oil and slab bacon, cooking until fat is rendered. Add fennel and onion; cook until fennel begins to soften, about 10 minutes. Add tarragon and garlic; cook for 2 minutes. Drain excess fat, if necessary, and discard tarragon. Add sugar, and cook until dissolved. Add vermouth, and using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits; reduce until almost dry. Add remaining juice of 1 lemon, red pepper, and fennel seeds; cook until dry. Remove from heat, and toss with zest; set aside.
• Remove pork from marinade, and pat dry to remove excess marinade; discard marinade. Place pork on a work surface, cut side up; season with salt and pepper. Evenly spread fennel mixture over pork; roll to enclose. Using butcher's twine, tie pork every 1 1/2 to 2 inches.
• Place pork in a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan fitted with a rack. Rub pork with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce to 350 degrees and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes; cover with parchment paper-lined foil if browning too quickly.
• Increase oven temperature to 550 degrees. Brush pork with reserved glaze. Continue to cook until dark brown, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer pork to a serving platter. Cover with parchment paper-lined foil, and let rest for 10 to 20 minutes. To serve, slice pork into 1/4-inch-thick pieces.

ROAST LOIN OF PORK WITH FENNEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• With a mortar and pestle, or in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, grind together the garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, and thyme leaves. Add the mustard. Spread the mixture over the loin of pork and allow it to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the fennel bulbs in thick wedges, cutting through the core. Toss the fennel, carrots, potatoes, and onions in a bowl with the olive oil, melted butter, salt, and pepper to taste. Place the vegetables in a large roasting pan and cook for 30 minutes. Add the pork loin to the pan and continue to cook for another 30 to 50 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the middle of the pork reads exactly 138 degrees. Remove the meat from the pan and return the vegetables to the oven to keep cooking. Cover the meat with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the strings from the meat and slice it thickly. Arrange the meat and vegetables on a platter. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve warm.

Add the fennel and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about five minutes. Turn the heat to low, cover and cook slowly for 45 minutes, stirring often.
