Pork Loin With Leeks And Carrots Food

PORK LOIN WITH LEEKS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wide pot or large pan. Add the garlic and sauté until lightly browned, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the leeks, ½ tsp salt and pepper and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Push the leeks and garlic to the sides of the pan. Add the butter and let it melt and heat until it bubbles and begins to brown lightly. Place the pork loin in the center of the pot and brown it on all sides, turning it as needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour in the wine and let it simmer for 1 to 2 minutes; scrape up any brown bits stuck to the pot and blend in. Add the carrots. Cover the pot, lower the heat, and cook until the pork is tender, about 1 ½ to 2 hours (internal temperature should read about 155 degrees F.). Remove the pork loin from the pot and transfer to a platter. Place the leeks and carrots over the top and along the sides. Pour juices over the top. Or slice the pork and then put vegetables and juices over them. Garnish with parsley.

ROAST PORK W/ CELERY ROOT AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Cut a pocket between the fat and meat of the loin. Reserve the outside leaves of the leek. Chop the remainder and fry until softened in butter.
• Mix the cheese, bread crumbs, half the mustard, seasoning and leeks together. Place in the pocket, and secure joint with string.
• Mix the softened butter, remaining mustard, thyme and sage and rub into the pork. Pierce the loin and insert garlic slices.
• Place on a trivet in a roasting pan and cook in a preheated oven at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes, then at 350 degrees for 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
• Place the reserved leek leaves in a bowl of boiling water to soften for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Boil carrots and celery root until just tender.
• Drain the leeks and cut into narrow strips. Make bundles of carrots and celery root and tie with the leek strips.
• Remove the string from the roast and place on a warm dish.

SLOW-ROASTED PORK SHOULDER WITH LEEKS, APRICOTS & THYME

Steps:

• A few hours before you want to cook the pork, remove it from the fridge and dry the skin thoroughly. Leave unwrapped in a cool place to slowly come to room temperature while you make the stuffing.
• Put a large saucepan over a medium heat and add the butter. When it begins to sizzle, add the leeks and cook until they are soft and most of their liquid has evaporated. Stir in the apricots and thyme, season well and transfer to a bowl to cool. When the mixture is cold, stir in the breadcrumbs. Taste and season again if required.
• When you are ready to cook the pork, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Spoon the stuffing into the pocket your butcher has left for you. Wipe any stuffing from the skin, put the pork in a roasting tin and season the skin well with salt. Put the celery, onion and carrot in the tin around the pork, place in the oven and cook for 30 mins.
• Reduce heat to 140C/120C fan/ gas 1 and cook the pork for a further 2 hrs 30 mins. Transfer the pork to a warm serving dish to rest while you finish the gravy.
• Tip out any fat from the roasting tin and reserve for another dish. Put the roasting tin on a medium heat, add the white wine or cider and, using a wooden spatula, scrape the caramelised juices from the bottom of the pan and allow them to dissolve. Let the juices reduce by half.
• Add the stock and simmer for 5 mins. Add the flour and butter, mashed together, and whisk them into the gravy. Taste for seasoning, then strain into a warmed jug. If your pork skin has not crackled, put under a hot grill for a few mins, turning every 30 secs or so, until bubbled and crackling.

ALL-IN-ONE LEEK & PORK POT ROAST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. I like to untie and unroll the joint then lay 4 bay leaves, the sliced garlic and half the thyme sprigs through it, then retie it. If you're not confident doing this then stab the meat all over and stuff the garlic, bay and thyme into the slits.
• Heat the butter and 1 tbsp oil in a casserole, then spend about 10 mins browning the pork on all sides. Add the onions, then continue to cook for about 5 mins until they start to soften. Add the juniper berries, scatter with sugar and add the vinegar. Simmer for a sec, then tuck the leeks and the rest of the bay and thyme in among the pork. Pour over the wine, cover, then cook in the oven for 1½-1¾ hrs until the meat is tender. The dish may now be cooled, then frozen for up to 1 month. Lift the meat from the pan to a board.
• Season the veg, then use a slotted spoon to lift it into a bowl. Taste the sauce and, if you think it needs it, reduce to intensify the flavour. Serves slices of meat with a bowl of vegetables and the sauce on the side.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SAUTEED APPLES AND LEEKS

Steps:

• Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. On a broilerproof rimmed baking sheet, rub pork with 1 tablespoon oil; generously season with salt and pepper. Broil, until pork registers 145 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest, 10 minutes (temperature will rise about 5 degrees as it sits).
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium. Add leeks and fennel seeds; cook, stirring occaionally, until leeks are tender, about 6 minutes. Add apples, and cook, tossing, until just beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in honey and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice pork, and serve with apples and leeks.
