Pork Kiev With Caramelised Apples Food

PORK TENDERLOIN STUFFED WITH CARAMELISED APPLES

Steps:

• Season the pork on both sides with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside.
• Cook the apple in butter, without stirring for a few minutes until it starts to caramelise. Toss and cook for a few minutes more until caramelised all over. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add the chopped bacon or pancetta to the same pan and fry for 3-4 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and gently fry with the pancetta until soft.
• Add caramelized apples, thyme and bread crumbs, mix and combine, fry for 1-2 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Make a 2.5 cm deep incision down the length of the tenderloin; do not cut all the way through. Open the meat like a book so the tenderloin lies flat. Pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until about 1 cm thick.
• Spread the apple mixture evenly along the middle and starting with a long side, tightly roll up the tenderloin. Secure with metal or wooden toothpicks.
• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and brown the pork on all sides for 4-5 minutes. Then place the pork in the oven and cook for about 50 minutes on 160°C, basting with its juices from time to time. When the pork is cooked, remove the meat from the pan and rest in a warm place for 15-20 minutes, covered with foil.
• Meanwhile, for the balsamic reduction, heat the balsamic vinegar in a small pan and simmer to reduce to about half. It will have a syrupy consistency. Add smoked paprika, jam and meat broth, stir to combine. Cook some more to obtain the desired consistency.
• Serve the pork loin in slightly overlapping slices, with a little of the sauce poured over along and with the rest of the sauce served in a warm jug.

PAN-SEARED PORK CHOPS WITH CARAMELIZED APPLES

Steps:

• Pat dry pork chops with paper towels.
• Brush pork chops with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
• Allow the pork chops to rest while you prepare the apples as follows below. This brings pork chops closer to room temperature which will help them sear better.
• I used 2 apples (1 red Gala apple and 1 green Granny Smith apple, for presentation purposes). Core the apples and slice each one length-wise.
• Place sliced apples into a large bowl, add brown sugar, cinnamon, and mix. Let apples sit for about 10 minutes to release juices.
• In a large pan (I used a large stainless steel skillet), heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil on high heat. Add sliced apples (without juice at the bottom of the pan) and cook on high heat for about 3 minutes on one side, checking periodically. After 3 or 5 minutes, flip sliced apples to the other side, reduce heat to medium and cook the apples for another 3 or 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Cook the apples in a single layer, without overcrowding to get a slightly "roasted" appearance. That means you might have to cook apples in 2 batches. Use the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter for the second batch.
• Depending on how hot your stove gets, it might take you less or more time to cook apples, the key is to brown them or even get a slightly "burned" effect. But don't overdo it, remove the cooked apples from the skillet once the apples have this "roasted" appearance.
• Right after you remove the pan with roasted sliced apples from the heat, immediately add honey to the hot skillet - it will make apples sizzle and will caramelize them beautifully, off the heat.
• For best searing results, use a cast-iron skillet. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes to heat it through.
• Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil - the oil should shimmer. Add the pork chops, and cook them on one side for 5 minutes, without moving.
• Reduce the heat to medium, flip the pork chops over to the other side, and cook them on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Cook longer (depending on the thickness of your pork chops) until the pork chops are cooked through.
• Spoon the cooked apples, together with the sauce from cooking the apples, over the pork chops. Top with fresh thyme.
