Pigskin Pork Fillet Food

GRILLED PORK SHISH KABOBS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl (or ziploc bag), combine chopped pork, 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper and stir until well combined. Separate onion pieces and add them to the bowl. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil and toss to combine. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
• Thread the kabobs onto metal skewers*, alternating between meat and onion. For even browning, the meat and onions should be just touching on the skewers and not crowded together. Let your skewers stay at room temperature for 30 minutes before placing on the grill.
• Preheat your grill to Medium/high heat (400˚F). Add skewers in a single layer and grill for 8-10 minutes total. Meat skewers turn like a triangle so we cook about 3 minutes per side on all 3 sides. Grill until cooked through and meat reaches at least 145˚F internal temperature. Rest skewers 3 minutes before serving.

PORK BRACIOLE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, red pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Lay the tenderloins open and flat on a board in front of you. Season each loin evenly all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Lay 3 slices of provolone on each loin. Divide the breadcrumb mixture over the provolone. Roll the loins back up into their original shape and tie in 4 spots with kitchen twine.
• Heat a medium straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Sear the pork tenderloins until evenly golden brown all the way around, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate to rest. Deglaze the skillet with the white wine and add the marinara sauce. Nestle the pork back in the sauce. Cover the skillet and simmer until the pork is just cooked through and registers 145 degrees F on an instead-read thermometer, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to rest uncovered for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the sauce.

PIGSKINS IN BLANKETS

Steps:

• Split the kielbasa in half lengthwise and then cut each half into six 3/4-inch pieces, slicing on an angle. Cook the pieces in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the skin is crisped and some of the fat has been released, about 5 minutes. Transfer the kielbasa to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll one piece of puff pastry out to form an 8- by 11-inch rectangle. Using a 3 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 6 circles from the pastry; cut the circles out as close together as possible and reserve the scraps. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry.
• Wrap a circle of puff pastry around each of a kielbasa, pinching the seams together to seal all the way around so no kielbasa is exposed and gently pulling on the ends to make a tapered football shape. Place on an ungreased baking sheet, seam-side down, and repeat with the remaining pastry and sausage.
• Brush the rolled sausages with the beaten egg. Use bits of the pastry scraps to make laces on each "football" by placing 1 strip lengthwise on top of each and laying 3 smaller strip crosswise over it. Press down gently to adhere and brush the laces with a bit more egg.
• Bake until the pastry is browned and crisped, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve the pigskins with mustard for dipping.

STICKY BBQ-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Mix the paprika, brown sugar, garlic and onion powders, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Season the pork tenderloins liberally with the seasoning mixture.
• Pour 1/3 cup of the barbecue sauce into a small bowl for brushing on the seared pork and reserve the remaining 2/3 cup for serving.
• Add the olive oil to a skillet and place over medium heat. When the oil is hot, sear the pork until nicely browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the pork to the prepared baking sheet and brush with some of the barbecue sauce.
• Transfer to the oven and cook, brushing with the barbecue sauce and turning every 5 minutes, until the meat is sticky, charred and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Turn the oven to broil at 500 degrees F and broil until bubbly on top, 1 to 2 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
• Serve topped with the Grilled Pineapple-Pepper Relish and the reserved barbecue sauce on the side.
• Heat a grill pan or grill over medium heat.
• Lightly brush the pineapple with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and add to the grill pan. Toss the jalapeños, poblanos and bell peppers with the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and add to the grill pan. Grill the pineapple and peppers until slightly charred on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove to a cutting board. Chop into small dice and add to a bowl. Add the cilantro, agave and lime zest and juice. Toss to combine.

STICKY HOISIN PORK FILLET WITH SESAME GREENS & NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Brush the hoisin all over the pork and transfer to a foil-lined baking tray. Roast, basting every 10 mins, for 25-30 mins until cooked through. Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 5 mins.
• Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles following pack instructions, drain, then toss with 1 tsp sesame oil to stop them sticking together. Heat the remaining sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan, and fry the greens for 4 mins, adding a splash of water to help soften the stalks. Add most of the spring onions and all the edamame beans. Fry for another 2 mins until the greens are tender, then stir in the sesame seeds, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Toss everything to coat well.
• Cut the pork into thick slices and serve with the noodles, sesame greens and remaining spring onions sprinkled over the top. Serve with more hoisin sauce, if you like.

HERBED PORK FILLET WITH ROAST VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/ gas 6/fan 180C. Put all the vegetables into a roasting tin. Drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss everything together.
• On a plate, mix together the lemon zest and pork seasoning or herbs. Roll the pork tenderloin in the mixture, then put it on top of the vegetables. Roast for 40 minutes.
• Peel and core the apple and cut it into chunks. Scatter the pieces into the roasting tin, then pour in the hot stock and cook for a further 15-20 minutes. Slice the pork, arrange on a platter with the veg, then spoon the pan juices on top.
