Pork With Mustard Lime Vinaigrette Food

GARLIC-LIME PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper, chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder together in a bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture generously on both sides of pork chops.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook pork until no longer pink in the center and golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork chops to a serving plate, reserving juices in the skillet.
• Add lime juice and garlic powder to the same skillet and mix into leftover juices. Stir to combine and pour over the pork chops.

MARINATED GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SPICY ORANGE VINAIGRETTE AND BLACK BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• Place the soaked beans in a large saucepan, cover with water, add the ham hock and beer. Cook over medium-high heat until tender, about 11/2 hours. Drain. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until almost smoking. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the rice and cook, stirring until it is coated with the oil, about 2 minutes. Add the water and 1 tablespoon salt, stir, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Place the basil, pine nuts and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth. Slowly add the oil to make a smooth paste. Combine the cooked rice and beans in a large saucepan and cover with water, cook over medium heat until almost dry. Add the pesto and stir to incorporate. Stir in the cheese, parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat orange juice in a medium saucepan and reduce to 1/4 cup. Let cool slightly. Combine the orange syrup, vinegar, mustard and ancho chile powder in a blender and blend 30 seconds. With the motor running slowly add the oil until the dressing emulsifies. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade, pour the remaining marinade into a large baking dish, add the tenderloin and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours. Preheat grill pan until almost smoking. Remove pork from marinade and grill for 10 to 12 minutes basting with the reserved marinade. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• Spoon rice and beans onto a large platter, top with sliced pork and drizzle with Spicy Orange Vinaigrette.

PORK WITH MUSTARD LIME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• FOR THE PORK: Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. Coat the pork with the 1 tablespoon of mustard and the 1-1/2 teaspoons of oil. Sprinkle it with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper.
• Put the pork on a baking sheet and roast until just done, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the pork to a carving board and leave to rest in a warm spot for 5 minutes.
• FOR THE ONIONS: Meanwhile, put the onion in a small bowl of cold water and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain the onion, rinse, and then pat dry with paper towels.
• FOR THE DRESSING: In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the lime juice, the 1 teaspoon mustard, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Add the 1/4 cup oil slowly, whisking.
• TO SERVE: While the pork is still warm, cut it into bite-size pieces. Add the pork, onion, red-pepper flakes, and cilantro to the vinaigrette and toss.
• VARIATIONS: Leftover pork or beef would not only taste great, it would actually be more traditional. The meat should really be cooked through, though, not rare.

CREAMY MUSTARD PORK
