Pork Loin With Apple Cornbread Stuffing Food

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH APPLE AND CARAWAY STUFFING

Steps:

• Melt the butter over low heat and cook onions until translucent, and then remove the onions from heat. Fold in the bread crumbs, apples, raisins, orange zest, and caraway, and season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut a pocket into the pork loin between the meat and outer layer of fat, the pocket should be shy of reaching each end of the loin by one inch. Fill the pocket with the stuffing. Roll loin up lengthways closing the stuffed pocket and tie with a string. Score the rind of pork with a sharp knife.
• Whisk together cider and sour cream and place in a casserole equal to the size of the pork. Place pork in casserole rind side down and bake for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes turn pork over and cook, rind side up, for another 30 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and cook for another hour (baste every 20 minutes with the pan juices) or until you reach a internal temperature of 150 degrees F. Let rest for 20 minutes. Deglaze the roasting pan with 2 ounces white wine and season. Slice the meat and serve with the jus.

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH SAUSAGE, CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil and the onions. Saute until the onions are translucent. In the same skillet, add the sausage meat and cook until all the sausage has changed color and is cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the cornbread and fresh herbs and continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest until cool.
• When cool add the whipped egg whites, heavy cream and melted butter and stir to combine. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Make a cut 1/4-inch from the top of the loin down the full length and roll the pork cutting at the same time, this will give you a flat piece of meat ( if you were to roll it back up it would look like it did before you cut it). Evenly spread the stuffing over the flattened pork loin and then re-roll it back to the original form.
• Tie together with butcher's twine, so the loin is tied every 1 to 2 inches. Refrigerate for about 1 hour to rest and firm up a bit.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using a large skillet over high heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil and sear the whole pork loin until golden brown all over, then transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F.
• Check the pork temperature after 10 minutes, as some ovens cook faster than others, and we don't want the meat to overcook. The loin should be removed from the oven when it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the loin to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil, to rest for 5 minutes. It will continue to cook and reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Slice the pork and arrange on a serving platter to serve.

APPLE SAGE CORNBREAD-STUFFED PORK CHOPS FOR TWO

Steps:

• Slice into the pork chops horizontally, but not all the way through. (You're essentially butterflying the pork chops and giving them a little pouch.) Set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat up 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the garlic and onion and saute until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes. Add the apple, carrots and celery and cook until softened, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Add in the cornbread, chicken broth and sage leaves, and stir to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool for 10 minutes.
• Carefully spoon the filling into the pork chops. If they become full and you can no longer stuff anymore, that's ok-save the filling to eat on the side. Use toothpicks to secure the chops shut. If the toothpicks poke out, use scissors to trim them flush to the pork chops.
• In the same skillet you used earlier, heat up the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Sear the pork chops, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Turn the heat down to medium and continue cooking, flipping occasionally, until the pork chops have cooked through completely, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm with the additional cornbread stuffing!
