Pork And Coconut Milk Food

SLOW ROASTED PORK WITH COCONUT CURRY SAUCE, CORN TORTILLAS, FRESH TOMATO SALSA OVER BASMATI RICE

Steps:

• For the pork: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the spices into the pork and roast for about 8 hours. Let cool. Pull apart and discard any fat. Put the pork pieces in a large pot and add the coconut milk.
• Meanwhile, for the curry sauce: Saute the curry paste, ginger, garlic, and black beans in sesame oil until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add this mixture to the pot with the pork and coconut milk. Add the lime leaves. Braise on low heat for 1 to 2 hours.
• For the rice: Blend the cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, and 1 cup of water. Put this mixture in a pot on the stove. Add the basmati rice. Add 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, and then simmer, covered, until the rice absorbs the liquid, 20 to 25 minutes. When done, add the butter and salt and pepper, to taste.
• For the salsa: Roast the jalapeno and poblano peppers, peel, and remove the seeds. Toast the cumin seeds and then grind. Dice the tomatoes and red onion and mix together in a bowl with the other salsa ingredients.
• Heat the corn tortillas on a griddle. Plate the rice, put the pork with sauce on top, and finish with salsa and tortillas.

COCONUT MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• For the coconut marinated pork tenderloin: Combine the coconut milk, ginger, curry, lime juice, star anise, paprika, pepper, Scotch bonnets and garlic in a bowl. Add the pork and turn to coat in the marinade. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours. Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling and pat dry with paper towels.
• Preheat the grill to high heat for indirect grilling.
• Brush the pork with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the pork directly over the heat and cook until charred on all sides, about 8 minutes. Move the pork to the cooler part of the grill and continue grilling until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 150 degrees F, about 12 minutes longer. Remove the pork from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• For the green sauce: Combine the cilantro, parsley, onions, lime juice, olive oil, salt, garlic and Scotch bonnet in a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and add a little honey to sweeten. Add a little water if the sauce is too thick.
• Spoon the green sauce over the sliced pork.

COCONUT-AND-LIME PORK KEBABS

Steps:

• Toss the pork with half of the coconut milk, the vegetable oil, garlic, 1/3 cup each brown sugar and cilantro, and 1 tablespoon each fish sauce, lime juice and Sriracha in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium and lightly brush the grates with vegetable oil. Thread the pork onto eight 10-inch skewers. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally and brushing with the remaining coconut milk, until marked and cooked through, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine 1 tablespoon water and the remaining 1 tablespoon each brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and Sriracha in a small bowl. Serve the kebabs in romaine leaves and drizzle with the sauce. Top with chopped peanuts, scallions, cucumber and cilantro.
• If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent scorching.

PORK WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Heat oil over med-high heat until it shimmers, then add meat. Brown well on all sides, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with pepper.
• Turn heat to low and pour off most of the fat; save a couple tablespoons of the fat tho. Add garlic and chiles. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add coconut milk and nampla. Raise heat; bring to a boil, then turn heat to low again. Partially cover pan. Adjust heat so that it simmers steadily.
• Cook for at least one hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Do not let the bottom burn. If it becomes too thick, add water of about 1/2 cup or so at a time. Cook until meat is very tender.

SUNNY'S COCONUT MILK BRAISED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• For the rub and pork: In a small bowl, mix the paprika, smoked salt, onion powder and a few grinds of pepper. Rub the pork on all sides with the blend. Let the pork rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
• In a large Dutch oven on high heat, add the butter and olive oil. Once it begins to swirl, add the pork and allow it to sit and sear to a deep golden brown, then rotate and repeat on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Don't forget the ends!
• For the pot: Add the apricots around the edges of the pork and cook while moving around for a minute. Add the thyme, garlic, rosemary and enough coconut milk to reach three-quarters of the way up the sides of the loin. Bring to a boil, then lower to a very low simmer and cover. Cook for 1 hour, then flip the loin and cook until tender, another hour.
• Remove the loin to a plate and cover with aluminum foil for 10 minutes before slicing into 1-inch-thick slices.
• For the gravy: Remove the herbs from the pot and raise the heat to reduce the coconut milk to a gravy consistency. Taste and season with salt if needed. Stir in the parsley and lime juice, and spoon over the pork slices.

VIETNAMESE BRAISED PORK IN COCONUT

Steps:

• Remove from heat.
• Carefully stir in the coconut juice and fish sauce-- there may be a little spattering.
• Return to very low heat and stir until well blended, scraping up any caramelized pieces stuck to bottom of pan.
• Stir in the pork.

PORK AND PINEAPPLE COCONUT CURRY

Steps:

• Begin by pouring the coconut milk into a bowl and let it settle so that the cream rises to the top; scoop the cream into a measuring cup. You should have roughly 1 cup of cream; if you need a little more, add some of the coconut milk.
• Bring the cup of coconut cream to a boil in a large pan and then cook it for about 8 minutes, or until the cream separates, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Peel and chop the pineapple. Then, ladle a little of the coconut cream into a bowl and stir in the red curry paste. Return the mixture to the pan and stir until well mixed. Continue to cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the paste is fragrant.
• Add the sliced pork and stir in the fish sauce, sugar, and tamarind juice. Stirring constantly, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the pork is no longer pink.
• Add the remaining coconut milk and the lime leaves and return the mixture to a boil and stir in the pineapple. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 3 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked. Sprinkle over the chili and serve immediately.

STIR-FRIED PORK IN COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet (12-inch is best) and turn the heat to high; a minute later, add the onion and cook, stirring only occasionally, until the onion begins to char a little, a couple of minutes. Add the garlic and chiles and cook, stirring occasionally, for another minute. Remove this mixture with a slotted spoon and add the remaining oil.
• Add the pork and stir once or twice. Cook without stirring until it begins to brown, about a minute; stir once and let sit for another minute. Return the onion mixture to the pan, stir, and turn the heat to medium. Add the coconut milk, lime leaves, and nam pla and adjust the heat so that the mixture simmers steadily but not too violently.
• Cook for 10 minutes or so, until the mixture thickens slightly. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve with the lime wedges.
• Japan. The technique is similar, but the ingredients and results quite different: Omit the chiles in step 1. In step 2, add 1/2 cup good-quality soy sauce mixed with 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons mirin or 1 tablespoon honey; omit the lime leaves and nam pla. Simmer as directed and serve with lemon wedges.

PORK (OR CHICKEN) STEWED IN COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Put oil in a large deep skillet or casserole that can later be covered; turn heat to medium-high. Brown pork on all sides, turning as necessary, and adjusting heat so the meat browns but does not burn. This will take about 20 minutes. Season it with a little salt and pepper.
• When the pork is just about browned, add shallots, chilies and ginger; brown a bit, then add about 2 cups coconut milk and the nam pla. Bring to boil, cover, and adjust heat for a steady simmer. Cook, turning occasionally, for at least 90 minutes, or until the pork is tender; add additional coconut milk if mixture dries out.
• When the pork is tender, remove to a platter. Stir lime juice into sauce; taste, and adjust seasoning, adding more chili, nam pla or lime juice as necessary. Carve meat, and serve it with sauce.
