PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Trim all silver skin from tenderloins; pat dry using paper towels. Rub 1 teaspoon vegetable oil over the surface of each tenderloin and rub with sea salt.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute. Place tenderloins into the skillet and cook, rotating to brown all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer pork to a large plate.
• Add remaining tablespoon oil to any drippings in the skillet. Cook apples and onions in the hot oil, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to turn translucent, about 5 minutes, adding a bit more oil if skillet gets dry.
• Meanwhile, spread Dijon mustard evenly over browned tenderloins using a pastry brush. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons thyme leaves over pork. Sprinkle remaining thyme over apple mixture and add black pepper; stir gently to combine. Nestle tenderloins into the skillet with apple mixture.
• Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloins reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 15 minutes.
• Remove skillet from the oven and place pork onto a plate. Cover with aluminum foil and let rest.
• Meanwhile, pour chicken stock into a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by 1/2, 8 to 10 minutes. Add to the skillet containing apple mixture.
• Heat over medium-high heat until boiling, about 5 minutes; stir in butter until melted. Slice pork and serve over apple mixture.

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.
