Prosciutto Wrapped Pork Tenderloin With Flageolet Ragout And Frizzled Brussels Sprout Leaves Food

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 425° with rack in centre of oven.
• Remove fat and silverskin from pork tenderloin. Tuck thin end of tenderloin underneath. Place sage leaves on top of pork, evenly spaced along the meat. Add some freshly ground pepper BUT DO NOT SALT! (The prosciutto will take care of the salting here!). Take one piece of prosciutto and lay it over-top of one of the sage leaves, tucking the ends underneath. Repeat with another slice of prosciutto, being sure to cover the sage. Use 2 or 3 slices of prosciutto as needed to cover more of the pork. Place pork in the centre of an oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Brush the top of the pork/prosciutto with olive oil and brush the empty sides of the pan with olive oil as well.
• Cut potatoes in half and distribute on either side of the pork. Try not to over-load the pan or the potatoes won't brown as well. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper and if desired, arrange the potatoes cut-side down in the pan for best browning.
• Place in to pre-heated oven and cook for approximately 25 minutes or until internal temperature of meat is about 150° (time will depend on the size of your tenderloin). When meat has reached this temperature, remove from oven. Move rack up one position and turn on the broiler. Place skillet back in the oven and allow to cook under the broiler for a few minutes until the prosciutto crisps up. Remove from oven and let pork stand for at least 5 minutes before cutting/eating.
• If making the pan sauce: Remove pork to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil and using a slotted spoon (to keep as much of the pan juices in the pan as possible), remove the potatoes to a bowl. Set aside. Place skillet on to a burner, over medium-high heat. Add the wine and shallots and using a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Cook until shallots have softened and are starting to take on a golden colour and wine has mostly evaporated. Add chicken stock, mustard, sage and cream and allow to cook, until reduced by 1/Taste and add salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. Serve over pork or on the side.
• *Note: If you are avoiding dairy, simply skip the cream and instead, add 2 tsp. of cornstarch (or arrowroot/tapioca starcto the chicken stock before adding to the pan. Cook until sauce thickens slightly.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Combine the parsley, sage, mustard and shallot in a mini food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped and combined. Add the olive oil and blend to form a paste. Season with salt and pepper.
• Season the pork loin with salt and rub the paste all over it. Lay the prosciutto slices on a piece of parchment paper, shingled in 2 overlapping rows to form a 12-inch square. Place the pork loin in the middle of the prosciutto square. Using the parchment to help you roll, roll the prosciutto up over the loin, pressing firmly to adhere the prosciutto to the loin. Continue to roll until the entire pork loin is tightly covered in prosciutto (the prosciutto should overlap itself). Refrigerate at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
• In a small saucepan, bring the sugar, maple syrup, BBQ sauce, star anise, cinnamon stick, orange zest and jalapeño to a simmer. Let cool to room temperature, or overnight in the fridge.
• When you're ready to roast the pork, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the butter, garlic and rosemary in a large, ovenproof saute pan and heat over medium-low heat until the butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Lay the prosciutto-wrapped loin in the pan seam-side down. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the loin reads 120 degrees F, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Brush the glaze on the loin and continue to roast to 135 degrees F for medium, 10 to 15 minutes more. Allow the meat to rest before slicing, then spoon the pan juices over the pork slices.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH CRISPY SAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Lightly season pork with salt and black pepper. Arrange about 6 sage leaves over tenderloin. Wrap prosciutto around tenderloin and sage, overlapping prosciutto slightly; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate to allow prosciutto to set on pork tenderloin, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove plastic wrap.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry wrapped tenderloin in the hot oil until prosciutto is crispy and lightly browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer wrapped tenderloin to a baking dish, reserving oil in the skillet.
• Bake tenderloin in the preheated oven until pork is cooked through, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Heat reserved oil in the skillet over medium heat; fry remaining sage leaves until crispy, adding more oil as needed, about 5 minutes.
• Slice tenderloin and serve with crispy sage leaves.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH A GRANNY SMITH APPLE GASTRIQUE AND CRIMINI MUSHROOM POTATO PUREE AND ROOT VEGETABLE MELANGE AND APPLE FRISEE SALAD WITH CARROT OIL

Steps:

• Slice the pork tenderloin into 12 (1-inch) pieces, and season with salt and pepper. Cut the prosciutto slices in 1/2, lengthwise, and wrap 1 slice around each piece of pork and secure with a toothpick. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a saute pan until hot. Add pork medallions and saute for 2 to3 minutes on each side until internal temperature registers 155 degrees F. Set aside.
• Gastrique: Heat a large, heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add sugar to the pan and cook until the sugar browns. Carefully add cider vinegar (it will steam a great deal, watch your hand). Add apple trimmings, juice, fresh thyme and stock. Let the sauce simmer until it reduces to 1 cup; skim any foam that rises to the top, then season with salt and pepper. You may need to add 1 teaspoon more vinegar at the end to add a little sparkle for taste. Swirl in butter until incorporated.
• Start potatoes in cold salted water, bring to a boil and turn the heat down to a low simmer. Allow the potatoes to cook until they are tender, drain well and puree.
• Saute the mushrooms in 1 tablespoon of butter until soft, add garlic, then season with salt and pepper. Add heavy cream and 1/4 cup butter to the mushroom mixture and bring to a boil. Puree the mixture in a blender until smooth. Fold into the potato puree and season with salt and pepper.
• Saute the leeks in butter, in a medium pan, until they are soft. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add vegetables to the pot, 1 at a time, and cook until tender. Let them drain well and add all vegetables to the saute pan with the leeks, except the beets. Toss the vegetables in butter until heated through, and then season with salt and pepper and fresh herbs. Toss in beets just to heat.
• Toss all ingredients together in a medium bowl and let it sit for approximately 15 minutes.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a blender until smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Use as a garnish to decorate the plate.

PORK RAGOUT WITH PAPPARDELLE PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, salt both sides of each rib, then add to the pot and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic, carrot, celery, onion, bell pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stir to combine and then partially cover with a lid. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, about 6 minutes. Add the wine, bay leaves, thyme, crushed red pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer until most of the wine has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Nestle in the browned ribs (and any accumulated juices), then add the crushed tomatoes and 1 1/2 cups of water (it's nice to rinse the tomato can out with water and then use 1 1/2 cups of that "tomato water"). Bring to a high simmer, then adjust to a low simmer and cover the pot partially with the lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and falling apart and the sauce has reduced, about 2 hours. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the pot and add back into the sauce. Remove the pieces of pork and let them cool slightly; finely shred the meat, then stir back into the sauce. The sauce can now be finished and served or it can be cooled down, refrigerated and reheated the next day.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook according to the package instructions, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking water.
• Stir the parsley into the sauce and adjust the seasoning to taste with salt. Thin out with a little of the reserved pasta water and stir in the torn basil. Divide the cooked pasta among bowls and top each with some ragout. Drizzle each bowl with a little olive oil, top with a generous amount of Parmesan and garnish with a few basil leaves.

SAGE & PROSCIUTTO PORK WITH RICH MUSHROOM RAGOUT

Steps:

• Prepare Ahead: Cut each tenderloin in half and split almost in half down length. Open out the pork and bat out with a rolling pin. Put 3 slices of prosciutto overlapping lengthwise on a board and put one pork tenderloin on top. Season all over with salt and pepper, put three sage leaves on top and sprinkle with a little lemon juice. Roll up like a swiss roll and tie with two pieces of string or secure with cocktail sticks. Repeat with the remaining pork. Put in a roasting tin, cover and chill for up to 24 hours until ready to cook.
• Peel and finely chop the shallots. Tip the dried mushrooms into a measuring jug and pour over boiling water to reach the 300ml/1⁄2 pint mark. Leave for 20 minutes. Heat the oil in a pan, add the shallots and gently cook for 5 minutes without colouring. Drain the mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid, chop and add to the pan with the fresh mushrooms. Season and cook until the mushrooms are softened, about 5 minutes.
• Splash in the Marsala and cook until the liquid is almost gone. Add the soaking liquid, tomato purée, salt and pepper and bubble up for 2 minutes. Set aside for up to 2 hours until ready to serve.
• On the day: Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5/fan oven 170C. Roast the pork rolls for 25-30 minutes, until the prosciutto is crisp and the pork feels firm to the touch. Gently reheat the mushroom ragout then serve each pork parcel, cut in half with a little mushroom ragout on the side. Scatter over a little chopped parsley.

PORK TENDERLOIN WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO, WITH AN HERBED PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Adjust your oven rack to the middle position and preheat your oven to 450. Line a baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top of it.
• Rinse and pat dry the pork tenderloin. Season with fresh cracked black pepper and overlay with thyme. Then wrap tenderloin in prosciutto.
• Heat 2 tblsp oil over medium heat in a skillet or braiser. Brown each side of your tenderloin, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer meat to wire rack set in foil lined baking sheet. Bake until meat registers 145 degrees, approximately 15-18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, deglaze pan used to brown tenderloin by pouring in the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer. Then whisk in the flour until sauce begins to thicken. Whisk in garlic, thyme, and lemon juice. Cook until sauce is desired thickness, whisking often (approx. 5-10 minutes). Off heat, stir in the chives and a dash of salt & pepper.
• Allow tenderloin to stand for a few minutes before slicing. Serve topped with pan sauce.
