Pork With Potato Bean Salad Food

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH BLACK-BEAN AND SWEET-POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450, with racks set in upper and lower thirds. Place pork on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub with 1 teaspoon oil; season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Roast on upper rack until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of meat registers 145 degrees, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven, and cover loosely with aluminum foil; let rest about 10 minutes. (Slice off 1/3 of meat and refrigerate.)
• About 15 minutes after pork has begun roasting, place sweet potatoes on another rimmed baking sheet; drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with red-pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper; toss to coat. Roast on lower rack, until tender, tossing once during cooking, 25 to 35 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk lime juice with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Add sweet potatoes, beans, onion, and, if using, cilantro; mix gently to combine. Thinly slice pork, and serve with salad and lime wedges.

PORK CHOPS WITH BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk 2 cups cold water, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon each sugar and salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Prick the pork a few times with a fork, then soak in the brine 15 minutes; remove and pat dry. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green and wax beans and cook until crisp-tender, 4 minutes. Add the bell pepper and corn; cook 1 minute. Drain the vegetables, rinse under cold water and pat dry. Transfer to a bowl and add the kidney beans. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until golden, about 4 minutes per side; transfer to a plate. Wipe out the skillet; heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook 3 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar and cook until absorbed. Whisk in 1/2 cup water, half of the parsley, the mustard, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and salt to taste. Simmer 3 minutes, then toss with the vegetables. Add the remaining parsley and season with salt and pepper.

ROAST PORK AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rub the loins with extra-virgin olive oil and lots of salt and coarse pepper. Combine the onions with the garlic, chile, rosemary, and thyme, and then dress with extra-virgin olive oil and salt and pepper. Arrange a bed of potatoes in a roaster pan. Place the pork loins over the potatoes. Add the fennel to one of the loins (the other is for the Pork and Poblano Green Chili Pot recipe, recipe follows). Pile the onion-flavoring paste evenly over the pork loins. Roast the meats 1 hour. Pour the wine evenly around the pan, and then shake the pan to loosen the potatoes or use a spoon to mix them around a bit. Add the pork back to the oven and roast another 25 minutes or so, until a thermometer inserted in the loin reads 160 degrees F. Let the meat rest, then carve and serve with potatoes and pan drippings.
• Cool the remaining loin, cover in plastic wrap and reserve for another meal.
• Serve with Creamy Mushrooms and Kale recipe follows.
• Stem and slice or coarsely chop the mushroom blend. Heat the extra-virgin olive oil, 4 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms to the pan and brown 10 minutes, then add in the garlic, thyme, and sage, stir 2 to 3 minutes, then add the kale and cook until just wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and a few grates of nutmeg. Stir a few minutes more, then add in the Marsala and reduce the liquid by half, another minute or 2. Add the cream to the mushrooms in the pan and reduce heat, let the flavors combine a few minutes and cream thickens. Serve the mushroom dish garnished with a few grates of cheese.
• Char the poblano peppers all over by placing the peppers on stovetop burners or under a hot broiler until black, turning frequently. Place the charred peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam them as they cool. Rub the skins off the poblanos and jalapenos with paper towel or peel by hand, then seed the peppers and chop.
• Meanwhile, heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a medium-size Dutch oven over medium heat, add the onions and sweat 10 minutes then add the garlic and tomatillos and cook 10 minutes more; season with salt and pepper. Place the cooked onion-tomatillo mixture in a food processor with cilantro, cumin, honey, and puree. Add the puree back to the Dutch oven, then stir in the chopped peppers and chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low for the flavors to combine. Slice and finely chop the cooked pork and stir into the chili. When the soup returns to a bubble, turn off the stove, cool completely and store for make-ahead meal.
• To reheat the chili: Place in covered pot over medium heat and cook until the pork comes to a bubble, stir in the juice of 1 lime and turn off the heat. Slice the remaining lime into wedges and serve alongside the chili.
• For the cheesy polenta: In medium saucepan, bring the chicken stock and milk to a boil. Whisk in the polenta, stirring until the polenta just pulls from the side of the pot. Stir in the Manchego cheese and serve warm.

BONE-IN PORK MILANESE WITH A ROASTED FINGERLING POTATO-STRING BEAN-TOMATO-ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• For the pork milanese: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
• Toss the potatoes with some olive oil in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour onto a baking sheet in an even layer and transfer to the oven. Roast until golden brown, stirring halfway through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, season the boiling water with salt. Add the string beans and blanch until tender yet crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the beans from the boiling water and shock in a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. As soon they are cold to the touch, drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Set aside until ready to use.
• Set a heavy-bottomed, high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat and fill with 1 to 2 inches of oil. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
• Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Set the pork chop on the plastic wrap and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, evenly pound the chop to approximately 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick.
• To a shallow dish, add the flour. To a second shallow dish, add the eggs and whisk to combine. To a third dish, add the breadcrumbs. Dredge the pounded pork chop in the flour on both sides and shake off any excess. Then coat the chop in egg, again shaking off any excess. Lastly, add the chop to the breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs into both sides of the chop.
• Test the temperature of the frying oil with a piece of breadcrumb; if it bubbles all around and doesn't stop, the oil is ready. Carefully add the pork chop to the oil and fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and season with salt. While the pork is frying, make dressing.
• For the salad and dressing: Add the shallot, vinegar and mustard to a bowl. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the arugula, tomatoes, bocconcini, roasted potatoes and blanched string beans to a large bowl. Add half of the dressing and toss to combine. Add more dressing as needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Set the fried pork chop on a plate and top with the salad.
