PORK LOIN BRAISED IN MILK

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat. Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, if necessary, sear until brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork to a large plate or baking sheet.
• Pour off fat from skillet, and return to low heat. Return pork and any accumulated juices to skillet; add milk and thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer until pork is cooked through and tender, turning once, about 45 minutes.
• Transfer pork to a serving platter, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Return skillet to medium-high heat, and bring remaining liquid to a boil. Whisk together cornstarch and the water in a small bowl; whisk into liquid in skillet, and boil 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a blender or food processor. Add thyme leaves, and puree until smooth. Pour sauce over pork, and serve immediately.

• Rub the pork with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven. Brown the pork well in the oil on all sides over medium heat for about five minutes. Add the onions, then stir and brown for five minutes more.
• Drain off all the fat. Add the milk and cover. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for one-and-a-half hours. Remove the lid and cook another one-and-a-half hours until the milk is almost evaporated.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Strain the milk gravy into a saucepan, add the cream and bring to a simmer. Save the onions and the milk residue. Place the roast in the oven and cook 10 minutes or until brown.
• Slice the meat and serve it with the gravy spooned over and the onion mixture on the side.

Steps:

• Heat oil and 1 tbsp. of the butter in a medium heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat until butter melts. Add pork, fat side down, and cook until browned on all sides, 2-3 minutes per side.
• Pour off fat from casserole, reduce heat to medium, and add the remaining 2 tbsp. of the butter. When butter melts, add half the sage leaves and fry for a few seconds. Slowly add milk and cream (**Hands well back, as it will spatter and steam!) Add lemon zest, season with a bit of salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low to low, partially cover pot with lid, and gently simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, turning pork after 30 minutes. If liquid in pot gets too low, add a splash of warm water. Check meat for doneness starting at about 45-50 minutes of cooking time, with a meat thermometer. It is done when it reaches 145-150° F. Remove meat to a cutting board and tent with foil. Let rest.
• Meanwhile, add the remaining sage leaves to the pot and using a wooden spoon, stir and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen all the browned goodness at the bottom. As you do, the gravy will gradually become darker and thicker. If it gets too thick, add a bit more milk to thin. Taste and add salt and pepper, to taste.
• After meat has rested 10 minutes or so, thinly slice and place on a serving patter. Spoon warm sauce over meat.

MILK BRAISED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Season pork loin with salt and pepper. Heat oil and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat and brown pork loin on all sides. Slowly pour the milk in with the pork. Stir in the rosemary and garlic. Allow the milk to come to boil, then lower the heat to medium-low. Partially cover with the lid and cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour and 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove pork and set aside to rest.
• If the milk is not already a nutty brown color, increase the heat until the milk beings to brown. Spoon off any additional fat. Pour the water into the pan, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Slice the pork and serve with the milk sauce.

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.

PORK BRAISED IN MILK AND CREAM

Steps:

• Place pork in a container, and rub all over with chopped sage and chopped garlic. Cover, and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, bring to room temperature. Scrape off and discard sage and garlic; season generously with salt and pepper.
• In a deep, heavy casserole or Dutch oven fitted with a lid, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add pork loin, and brown very well on all sides, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine milk, half-and-half and cream. Bring to a boil, then shut off heat. Using a vegetable peeler, remove peel from lemons in long strips. Set peel aside, and reserve fruit for another use.
• When pork is browned, transfer it to a plate and discard fat that's in casserole. Reduce heat to medium, and add butter to pan. When it is foamy, add garlic cloves. Stir until lightly browned on edges. Add sage leaves, and stir to coat. Put pork back in casserole, and pour in enough of the warm milk mixture to come 1/2 to 2/3 up the sides of pork. Bring to a simmer, add lemon zest and season to taste with salt.
• Partly cover, and simmer until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees (about 15 to 30 minutes; cooking time will vary according to shape of roast and degree of browning). Liquid will form a skin and custard around pork. Shut off heat, and allow to cool. Cover, and refrigerate until shortly before serving.
• To serve, remove pork from milk mixture and carve into 1/8-inch slices. Meanwhile, place casserole over medium heat and reduce liquid to a soupy custard. While the liquid is still a little loose, return sliced pork to casserole and spoon sauce on top. Allow pork to heat through. Serve, spooning some custard, lemon zest and sage on top and sprinkling with coarse salt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Let pork loin come up to room temperature for about an hour. Season pork liberally on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed pot, like a cast iron Dutch or French oven, that is it just large enough to fit pork. Add pork and sear on all sides, 10-12 minutes. Remove pork from pot and set aside on plate. Place remaining 2 tablespoons butter in pot and melt over medium heat. Add shallots, cooking until just translucent. Add herbs, garlic, citrus zest and nutmeg and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add milk and cream, stirring to combine all ingredients. Return pork to pot, along with any accumulated juices and whole springs of thyme and sage, bring up to a slow simmer. Cover pot and place in preheated oven. Cook 2 hours, turning it half way through cooking. Uncover and cook an additional 30 minutes. Transfer pork to a carving board and let rest at least 15 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the larger curds if any from the sauce and discard any herb stems. Place pot back on the stove over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook 12 to 15 minutes until reduced by half, stirring frequently so milk doesn't scorch. Cut pork into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on deep serving platter. Ladle milk gravy over pork and garnish with any remaining fresh thyme, sage and zest.

Steps:

• Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper. In a 4-quart heavy kettle heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown pork on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Carefully add milk and cook pork, covered, at a bare simmer 2 hours. Continue to cook pork, partially covered, at a bare simmer until very tender, about 1 hour. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Season cooking liquid generously with salt and pepper and boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Thinly slice pork and transfer to a platter. Skim fat from cooking liquid and spoon liquid over pork.

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.

Steps:

• Pat meat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper to taste.
• In a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the oil. Brown the meat on one side. Turn it over and scatter the vegetables around the meat. Cook until the vegetables are golden.
• Transfer the meat to the slow cooker. Add the milk to the skillet with the vegetables and bring it to a simmer. Pour the contents of the skillet over the meat. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the meat measures 160 degrees.
• If the sauce is too thin pour it into a saucepan and reduce it over medium heat. Remove the twine. Slice the meat and arrange the slices, overlapping, slightly, on a platter. Spoon the sauce down the center and serve hot.
