Pot Roasted Pork With Red Wine Sage And Rosemary Food

ROASTED PORK WITH SAGE, ROSEMARY, AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Using a long knife with a thin blade or a clean sharpening steel, make a channel lengthwise through the center of the loin running from one end to the other.
• Mix the chopped sage and rosemary in a small bowl. Add the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon oil. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then poke it through the channel in the meat (I find it easiest to work from both ends more or less at once).
• Season the outside of the loin generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in an ovenproof skillet large enough to hold the loin. Brown the meat on all sides and on each end, about 8 minutes in all.
• Add the herb sprigs and crushed garlic to the pan and put it in the oven. Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the loin and roast 15 minutes more, basting from time to time with the pan drippings.
• Remove the pan from the oven, cover with foil, and set aside in a warm place for 15 minutes to rest the meat. To serve, cut the loin into generous slices, season with sea salt, and drizzle with the pan juices.
• Chef's notes:
• If you are roasting a larger, thicker loin, make two channels through the meat so the seasoning can be better distributed. Cook the loin longer.
• If you want, you can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. I prefer pork cooked so it's still a little pink at the center. You can expect a reading before the final resting of about 135°F. If you like your pork more thoroughly cooked, cook it until the internal temperature reaches 150°F.

GRILLED ROSEMARY PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Wash and dry tenderloin, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Place in small bowl.
• Crush garlic; rinse and remove leaves from rosemary stems, and chop. Combine garlic and rosemary with wine, and pour over pork. Turn pork to marinate well.
• When ready to cook pork, spray stove-top grill with pan spray, and heat. Place pork slices on grill. Cook for about 5 minutes total, turning once and basting once or twice with marinade.

RED WINE POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a heavy ovenproof pot (with a lid) over high heat. Salt and pepper both sides of the roast, then sear it for about a minute on one side and a minute on the other side. Remove the meat to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium high and add the tomato paste, celery, garlic and onions. Stir it around and cook until the vegetables start to soften and the tomato paste releases its flavor, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the glorious wine, then stir and scrape the pot to get up all the browned bits on the bottom. Pour in the broth, then stir in the marmalade.
• Return the meat to the pot and top it all off with the potatoes, carrots, parsnips, rosemary and thyme. Push the veggies and herbs into the liquid, then put the lid on the pot, transfer to the oven and roast until the meat is fork-tender, 3 to 4 hours. (Mmmm. The liquid becomes something magical.)
• Transfer the roast to a serving dish (if it falls apart that's a good sign!) and place the vegetables all around it, then spoon on as much sauce from the pot as you'd like. Total, unmistakable, comfort food.

POT-ROASTED PORK WITH RED WINE, SAGE AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Soak the dried porcini in 1 cup (250ml) boiling water for 10 minutes to soften (reserve liquid when draining).
• Meanwhile melt half the butter in a flameproof casserole over medium-low heat.
• Season pork well with salt and pepper; then place fat side down in the pan; gently sear for 6 to 8 minutes until well coloured and the fat has rendered.
• Turn and sear other side for 4 to 5 minutes. (Our pork loin which was close to 2 kilo took a total of about 20 minutes to get a nice golden colour.).
• Remove pork from the pan, drain off any excess fat, and melt the remaining butter (we added some more olive oil); add the garlic, sage and rosemary and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until golden.
• Squeeze porcini to remove excess liquid and set soaking liquid aside.
• Return pork to the pan (at this point we put into a large baking dish); add mushrooms, tomatoes and 1 cup (250ml) wine and season well with salt and pepper.
• Cover the surface with a baking paper, tucking in the edges as this ensures that the dish will not dry out.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes (we put into the oven at about 160 degrees Celsius. Please note our pork was larger than called for in the recipe).
• Turn the pork, baste with the sauce, add the remaining wine and reserved mushroom stock.
• Recover with baking paper and cook for a further 40 to 50 minutes until the sauce is rich and the pork is tender (ours was in the oven longer).
• If the sauce starts to dry out, add splashes of water or wine to maintain the moisture level.
• The sauce will intensify in colour but shouldn't burn.
• POLENTA:.
• For the polenta, place 3 cups (750ml) water ina saucepan; bring to a boil; gradually add the polenta, whisking constantly; reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, fold in butter and Parmesan cheese, season and keep warm.
• Remove the pork from the sauce, thickly slice.
• Serve with the polenta, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with parsley.

POT-ROASTED PORK IN WHITE WINE WITH GARLIC, FENNEL, AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• With 2 or 3 bits of string, tie up your pork loin, do this any way you like. It doesn't have to be fussy, you just want to keep the meat in a snug shape while it's cooking. Season generously with salt and pepper, then roll the meat in the fennel seeds until covered.
• In a casserole pan or roasting tray, fry the meat for a couple of minutes in half the butter and a little olive oil, until nice and golden.
• Throw in the garlic, herbs, fennel, and wine, then cover the tray loosely with some wet greaseproof paper and cook until an inserted meat thermometer reaches 150 degrees F. As the pork loin is off the bone it cooks very quickly. Remove from the oven and allow the meat to rest on a plate. Then, without using any more heat, finish off your sauce in the pan, scraping any goodness off the bottom and adding the rest of the butter. Remove any large bits.

PORK POT ROAST WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Season the roast very generously with salt and pepper, and then dust lightly with the flour.
• Put a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and then add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the roast, and brown deeply on all sides, about 4 minutes per side.
• Remove the roast to a platter. Stir in the vinegar, shallots, celery, carrots, parsnips and garlic, and then set the roast on top of the vegetables. Pour the chicken stock and bourbon around the meat, cover, and roast in the oven for 2 hours.
• Transfer the roast to a cutting board. Spoon the vegetables and pan juices onto a large serving platter. Slice the roast, arrange the meat on top of the vegetables, and serve family style.

ROAST PORK WITH FENNEL & ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Crush the fennel seeds and peppercorns coarsely using a pestle and mortar. Add the garlic and some salt, and crush again to make a paste. Stir in orange zest along with the rosemary and oil.
• Rub the paste all over the pork, then cover with foil. You can now cook the pork or leave it covered in the fridge for up to 24 hrs.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Thickly slice the orange and place in the base of a roasting tin with the onion. Put the pork on top and pour 600ml water into the tin. Roast the joint for 1 hr, add the wine to the tin, then roast for 1 hr more. Baste the joint a few times and add a splash more water if needed.
• Remove the joint from the oven, strain off the meat juices, tightly cover joint with foil, then leave to rest for 15 mins. Pour meat juices into a pan, add the jelly and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve it. Taste and add seasoning if necessary. Thickly slice the pork and serve with a little of the juices poured over.
