Loin Of Pork Braised In Red Wine Food

BRAISED PORK WITH RED WINE

Steps:

• Combine pork, salt and pepper to taste, wine, stock, carrots and garlic in a saucepan, Dutch oven or slow cooker. Bring to a boil, then adjust heat so that mixture simmers steadily but not vigorously. (If using a slow cooker, just turn it to ''high'' and let cook for at least three hours.)
• Cook, stirring every half-hour or so, until meat is very tender and just about falling apart, at least an hour and most likely a bit longer. Use a slotted spoon to remove solid ingredients to a bowl, then turn heat to high. (If using a slow cooker, transfer liquid to a saucepan for this step.) Reduce to about a cup, or even less. Taste and adjust seasoning, then lower heat and stir in butter.
• Add solids to sauce and reheat. Serve over egg noodles, garnished with parsley.

WINE-BRAISED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients in small bowl. Pat pork dry; rub with salt mixture. Cover and chill 6 to 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Wipe pork dry. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy Dutch oven or casserole over high heat. Add pork; brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to plate. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to Dutch oven. Add onions and sauté until very tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and peppers and sauté until peppers begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add wine, tomatoes, broth, bay leaves and marjoram. Add pork, fat side up, and drippings on plate. Bring to boil. Cover; bake until tender, 45 minutes.
• Transfer pork to platter and let stand 15 minutes. If necessary, boil sauce until reduced to 4 cups. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Place half of sauce in baking dish. Top with pork slices, then remaining sauce. Cover and chill. Rewarm in covered dish in 350°F. oven until heated through, about 30 minutes.) Serve pork with sauce.

PORK CHOPS WITH WINE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet over high heat. Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops and sear them until they're nice and golden, about 2 minutes per side. (No need to completely cook the chops at this point.) Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium high, then throw in the whole cloves of garlic. Stir them around and cook until they get nice and golden brown, a couple minutes. Pour in the red wine, then add the bay leaf. Stir it around and cook, raising the heat if necessary, until the sauce is reduced and thick, several minutes.
• Stir in the beef broth (you can add more if it needs the liquid) and add the chops back to the skillet, arranging them so they're swimming in the sauce. Cook the chops in the sauce for a few minutes, then add the balsamic. Shake the skillet to get it to distribute, then cook for a couple more minutes, or until the pork chops are done.
• Remove the chops from the skillet once more, then let the sauce reduce a little more if needed, until it's very thick and rich and the garlic is soft. Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle in a little salt and pepper.
• Arrange the pork chops on a platter, then pour the whole skillet of sauce (including the garlic) over the top. Serve with Lemony Green Beans if desired.
• Snap off the stem ends of the green beans or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife.
• Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the butter. (It helps to use a pan with a light-colored bottom, so you can keep track of the color.) Swirl the pan occasionally so the butter cooks evenly. As the butter melts, it will begin to foam. The color will progress from lemony yellow to golden tan to, finally, a toasty brown.
• Once you smell that nutty aroma, add the green beans and saute for 3 to 4 minutes so the beans take on a little color. Add the lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper, then transfer to a platter in batches with tongs.

BEER BRAISED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat vegetable oil a heavy pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear pork in hot oil until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove roast from pot.
• Drain all but about 3 tablespoons grease from pot. Cook and stir onion and carrots until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir beer, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and cloves into the onion mixture.
• Return pork roast to the pot and cover.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pork is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 2 hours.
• Transfer roast to a platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Remove bay leaf from vegetables.
• Pour the beer and vegetable mixture from the Dutch oven into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the vegetables moving before leaving it on to puree until smooth.
• Bring pureed sauce to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat until thickened, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Spoon sauce over pork roast to serve.

BURGUNDY PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place pork in a 9x13 inch baking dish, and sprinkle meat with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Top with onion and celery, and pour wine over all.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
• When done baking, remove meat from baking dish, and place on a serving platter. Pour gravy mix into baking dish with wine and cooking juices, and stir until thickened. Slice meat, and cover with the gravy.

PORK LOIN BRAISED IN WINE AND RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the seasoning salt, black pepper, minced garlic and pinch allspice.
• Cut small slits in the loin about 3/4-inch deep and stuff with the halved garlic cloves.
• Rub the loin with the seasonings on all sides.
• Place in a glass dish, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove from the fridge and let the loin rest on top of the counter to come down to almost room temperature before browning.
• Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• Add in the pork loin and brown on all sides (this should take about 10-15 minutes) remove to a plate.
• Add in onions (adding in more oil if needed) saute for about 10 minutes.
• Add in chopped garlic and red bell peppers; saute for about 5 minutes.
• Add in wine, crushed tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaves, button mushrooms and marjoram; mix to combine with a wooden spoon.
• Add in the browned pork loin (fat side-up) and all the drippings from the plate; bring to a boil.
• Cover with an oven-proof tight fitting lid and place in oven to cook for about 45-60 minutes, or until the pork is tender (might take longer than 1 hour).
• Transfer the loin to a serving plate and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
• *NOTE* although this next step is only optional, I prefer to reduce the sauce slightly, but you do not have to do this, just serve the sauce as is without reducing.
• Place the Dutch oven on top of the stove and boil the sauce (uncovered) to reduce slightly while the pork is resting (about 15 minutes).
• Slice the pork and drizzle the sauce on top, pass the rest of the sauce at the table.
• Delicious!

LOIN OF PORK, BRAISED IN RED WINE

Steps:

• One to two days before, place the meat, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bouquet garni, juniper berries and salt and pepper in a large glass or earthenware bowl. Pour in enough red wine to just cover the meat, then add the vinegar. Cover with plastic wrap, then refrigerate, the longer the better.
• Remove meat from marinade and pat dry. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat until hot but not smoking. Reduce heat to medium, add the meat, and brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. Off the heat, flambé the roast with the Cognac. (To flambé: heat alcohol in saucepan, then remove from burner. Have lid at the ready, just in case. Stand back, and ignite liquid with long match. Pour flaming alcohol over meat.).
• Add the marinade, and all the ingredients in it. Simmer, partially covered, over low heat until the meat is tender, about one hour. Transfer meat to a cutting board, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Strain the cooking liquids through a sieve, reserving the vegetables. Discard garni. Return the the liquid to the Dutch oven, and boil, uncovered, over high heat to reduce by one third, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Finish the sauce: Purée the vegetables and cooking liquid in a blender to a smooth consistency. It should be a thick, full-flavored sauce. Return to the pan and reheat it. Add the red currant jelly and whisk until well blended. If the sauce seems thin, add a little potato starch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water or wine. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Do not boil.
• Slice the meat, and arrange on a platter. Spoon some of the sauce over the sliced meat, and pass the rest in a sauceboat.

PORK LOIN BRAISED IN MILK

Steps:

• Combine the rosemary, sage, garlic, and salt and pepper in a small bowl and rub it all over the pork. Place the pork on a large plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a few hours.
• Place a medium heavy pan that will hold the roast somewhat snugly over medium heat and add the butter and oil. When the butter begins to foam, add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly golden on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. (Keep your eyes on the butter so it doesn't burn and reduce the heat a bit if needed.)
• Add 1 cup of the milk and stir to loosen the browned bits attached to the bottom of the pan. As soon as the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pan, and simmer until almost all the milk has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Add 1 more cup milk and continue cooking, basting and turning the meat a few times, until most of the milk has evaporated. Cook the pork in this manner, adding the milk 1/2 to 1 cup at a time, until it reads 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 hours. (The pork can be cooked up to this point 1 hour or so ahead. In that case, cook only until it reaches 155 degrees F, because it will keep on cooking as it sits in the hot pan juices.)
• Remove the lid and raise the heat to high. If no more milk is left in the pan, add 1/2 cup or so more. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to release the browned bits and turning the pork once or twice, until most of the milk has evaporated and the meat has a rich, golden brown color. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for about 10 minutes while you finish the sauce.
• Spoon off some of the fat from the pan. Add 1/3 cup water and stir quickly, over medium heat, scraping the bottom of the pan until only the brown glazed clusters of milk particles remain.
• Cut the meat into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve topped with a bit of the pan juices.

PORK LOIN IN A RED WINE REDUCTION

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in largeish pan over medium-high heat, then add leeks.
• Saute until begining to go soft; add mushrooms and continue cooking until they just soften.
• Salt and pepper both sides of the prepared pork loins, add to pan, and sear so that outsides just begin to colour.
• Turn heat to very low, add about half of the broth, and cover pan.
• Meanwhile, place about half of the red wine in a sauce pan over extremely high heat.
• This should reduce to an almost syrupy-like consistency in just a few short minutes.
• When it has thickened, add about half of the remaining beef broth, and reduce and thicken again.
• Pour the resulting reduction onto the slowly simmering pork, and repeat the process with the remaining broth and wine.
• Again, pour over pork, and continue to gently cook until pork is finished.
• The amount of time this takes will vary, depending upon thickness of pork.
• Watch carefully, so as not to overcook.
• Remove pork from pan, and keep warm.
• Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan, turn the heat to high, allowing some of the liquid to boil off: thicken to desired consistency.
• Remove from heat.
• Serve the pork with a fair amount of the sauce pooled on it.

RED WINE BRAISED PORK CHOPS W/ RED WINE GRAVY AND GARLIC MASHED

Steps:

• Clean the potatoes and put them in a boiling pot of water and 1 teaspoons salt for about an hour or tender.
• Liberally season pork chops with s&p, paprika and garlic powder. Sear in a skillet with 2 tbs. butter for 1 minute on each side.
• Put pork chops in a x baking dish with chopped shallots or onion, basil and thyme (enough to make a thin layer), beef broth and red wine. Bake 45 minutes at 325 and flip once halfway through cooking.
• Drain potatoes, add butter, garlic, and milk (about 1/4 cup or until it reaches your desired consistency) and mash on low heat.
• Using the same pan you seared the pork chops in, melt the butter and flour to make a roux, slowly add the liquid from the chops until you get the consistency you like. Also, add a little bit of fresh wine for extra flavor. Bring to boil, stir, and remove from heat.
• The gravy goes great with the pork chops and mashed potatoes! Enjoy.

RED WINE PORK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Heat bacon drippings in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown roast on all sides. Remove roast to a casserole dish. Place butter, garlic, and carrots in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in parsley, bay leaf, salt, pepper, tomato paste, and sugar. Pour in red wine, and stir to combine. Pour over pork roast.
• Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove, and arrange mushrooms around the roast. Return to oven, and bake 1/2 hour.

PORK LOIN CRUNCH IN RED WINE

Steps:

• Take all dry ingredients plus garlic and mix together.
• Rub over roast.
• Crush cereal in bag and then pat/push onto roast or roll roast in cereal.
• Put in 9 x 13 roasting pan that has a drizzle of olive oil to help prevent sticking.
• ** Add wine and water to pan for roast at this point.
• Cover with tin foil tent style.
• Bake in oven 1 1/2 hrs-2 hrs (depends on oven) at 350°F.
• (Take tin foil off last 15 minutes to make a crusty coating).
• Slice in 1" slices.
• Use drippings to drizzle over meat.
• This makes a very rich au jus sauce.
• (I have also used drippings to make a gravy. Take drippings, add hot water and flour, whisk together and reheat on stove to thicken).
