Medallions Of Pork With Pear Sauce Food

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEAR-CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat and add shallots. Cook just until softened.
• Add pears, cranberries, syrup, juice, port, salt and lemon peel (leave the peel whole to make it easier to remove later). Bring to a very gentle simmer and reduce by about half to a syrupy consistency (8-10 minutes). The cranberries will break down a bit and the Bosc pears should soften but not turn to mush. Remove from heat, remove the peel and keep warm.
• For the tenderloins: Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Dry the tenderloin and remove any excess fat and connective tissue (the silvery film often found around tenderloins will constrict when cooked and can make them curl up and wring out the moisture from the meat). Season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it just starts to smoke. Brown the tenderloins on all sides (about 10 minutes).
• If you didn't use an oven-safe skillet (I use cast iron) then place the tenderloins in a baking dish. Place the skillet/dish in the oven and roast until the pork registers 135°F - about 10-15 minutes. Turn the tenderloins about halfway through the cooking time.
• Transfer the tenderloins to a carving board and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes. They should reach an internal temperature of about 145-150°F.
• Gently reheat the sauce for a few moments. Slice the tenderloin into 1" pieces and dress with the sauce.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Place rack on second level from bottom in oven. Heat oven to 500 degrees.
• Combine salt, cinnamon, cardamom and pepper in a small bowl.
• Place tenderloins side by side in a 12-by-8-by-1 1/2-inch roasting pan. Using your fingers, rub the dry seasonings on all surfaces of each tenderloin. Smear all over with the oil.
• Roast for 10 minutes. Turn over each one; roast another 10 minutes.
• While pork is roasting, puree pear in a food processor or blender until liquid; it should be 1/2 cup.
• Remove tenderloin to a serving platter. Pour off fat in pan and place over high heat. Add pear puree, boil and scrape pan with a wooden spoon to remove browned bits.
• Slice the pork crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss with the sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature, accompanied by party rye bread.

ROAST PORK WITH PEAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9. Dry the skin of the pork with kitchen paper, then rub with the oil and season generously with sea salt. Sit the pork in a roasting tin, then roast for 20 mins. Reduce the heat to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and continue to roast the pork for 1 hr 20 mins until cooked and skin has turned to crisp crackling. If the skin isn't crisp enough, turn the oven back up to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9 for a further 10 mins.
• While the pork is roasting, make the pear sauce. Heat the butter in a saucepan and sizzle the pear chunks and fennel seeds together until they start to brown. Add the perry or cider and sugar. Bubble everything down until the perry is reduced and has become sticky and caramelised, and the pear is tender and starting to collapse. If the pears don't break down, use a potato masher to mash into a rough purée. Serve the sauce in a bowl alongside the pork with your favourite side dishes.

PORK WITH CREAMY PEAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5.
• Heat the oil in a skillet (that you can also put in the oven) and brown the tenderloin while 5-10 minutes.
• Bake the tenderloin in the oven, uncovered, for another 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan and brown the pear and the spring onions for 5 minutes.
• Add the cream and cook for 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionnally.
• Take the tenderloin out of the oven, cover it and let it rest while 10 minutes.
• Slice the pork tenderloin, serve it and pour the sauce over it.

With your hands, rub both sides of the medallions until they are covered with the oil and spices. Set aside in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, cover the bottom of a glass baking dish with aluminum foil. Cut off a small slice from the bottom of each pear they can stand up straight and arrange them, upright, in the baking pan. Add garlic and drizzle the pears and garlic with olive oil. Cover with aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
• Allow the pears to cool for 30 minutes and then peel off the skin and remove the core.
• Add the garlic, pears and chicken stock to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into saucepan over low heat and season with a couple of pinches of sea salt and pepper and let simmer for a couple of minutes.
