Grilled White Corn Taco With Bbq Pork Loin Roasted Red Bliss Potatoes And Tomatillo Red Pepper Relish Food

RED EYE BENEDICT

Steps:

• For the pork: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pull the pork loin out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
• In a small bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, coffee, salt, paprika and cinnamon. Season the pork well with the mixture, rubbing it in on all sides.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and heat an additional 30 seconds. Add the pork and sear on all sides until deep golden brown, about 6 minutes. Remove the pork to a rimmed baking sheet, transfer to the oven and cook until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 40 minutes. Allow to rest for 15 minutes.
• For the benedict: Meanwhile, add the bacon to the skillet that the pork was cooked in and cook over medium heat until the bacon is crispy and the fat is rendered, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the flour until smooth and cook for a minute. Slowly add the coffee and chicken broth, whisking constantly so that no lumps form. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Whisk in the salt and 2 tablespoons of the butter to emulsify. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
• Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet. Break 2 eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are just set, about 4 minutes. To assist in setting the whites, spoon some of the melted butter over the whites, avoiding the yolk so it stays runny. Remove to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and continue with the remaining butter and eggs.
• To assemble, place 1/4 cup arugula on each English muffin half. Thinly slice the pork and place 1 to 2 pieces on each muffin half. Spoon some of the gravy over the pork and top each muffin half with a fried egg. Serve warm.

GRILLED RED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill and brush with a metal grill brush to loosen any crud and soot. After the grill has been brushed, run an oiled towel over the grill to pick up any loosened crud.
• In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and onions together with the rosemary, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt, to taste, and a little olive oil. Try to keep the onions together in rounds, they will fall apart while grilling but try and keep them together as long as possible; it just makes things easier.
• Arrange the potatoes and onions on the preheated grill. Once the potatoes have developed lovely grill marks, rotate them a quarter turn to create a lovely crosshatch pattern, (dont worry about the onions, they fall apart and you wont see the marks). Turn the potatoes over and repeat the process, turn the onions over to cook the other side as well. Cook the potatoes and onions until they are soft all the way through, about 8 to 10 minutes on each side.
• Remove from the grill and serve hot or at room temperature.
• Who knew you could grill a potato!

ROASTED RED BLISS POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub the potatoes well and cut them in half. In a bowl combine the potatoes with the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, tossing to coat. Arrange the potatoes in a roasting pan in a single layer and sprinkle with 1/4 cup water. Roast the potatoes for 45 minutes or until the potatoes and garlic are tender and golden brown. In a serving bowl toss the potatoes and garlic with the Parmesan and parsley.;

VANILLA AND BLACK PEPPER PORK LOIN

Steps:

• For the brine: In a large saucepan, combine the water, vanilla beans and seeds, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the sugar and salt; stir to dissolve. Turn off the heat, and then cool to room temperature (this can take an hour or so; put it in the fridge to hasten the process. Alternatively, you can boil only 4 cups of water and then add 5 cups of ice cubes).
• When cool, pour the brining solution into a container large enough for the pork and the solution, such as a disposable aluminum roasting pan. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Pull the pork out of the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Warm the oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the pork to the pan and brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Add 2 tablespoons butter to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Add the apples and celeriac. Season with salt and saute until golden brown. Deglaze with vinegar and 1 cup cider, scraping up any brown bits. Stir in the brown sugar.
• Nestle the pork loin in the apples and celeriac and pour enough cider into the pan to keep things from burning on the bottom of the pan, about 1 cup. Transfer the pan to the oven. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the loin reads 145 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before carving (pork will continue to cook as it rests).
• Meanwhile, return the pan to the stove over medium heat. Finish the sauce by adding in more cider if the pan is too dry. Stir in the remaining butter and the vanilla and black pepper. Taste for seasoning and readjust, if necessary.
• Slice the pork into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange on the platter with the apples and celeriac. Drizzle the sauce over the meat.
