Roasted Loin Of Pork With Braised Red Cabbage And Port Wine Sauce Food

ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Season the pork with the salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over high heat and sear the pork on all sides. Place the skillet into the oven and roast the pork for 8 to 10 minutes. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Slicing on a diagonal, cut each tenderloin into 4 or 5 pieces.
• In a medium pot heat the oil over medium heat and add the shallots and garlic, cook until soft, but not browned. Add the brown sugar, balsamic, red wine, apple cider, green peppercorns, bay leaf, tomatoes, red peppers, parsley, and soy sauce. Simmer until reduced by 1/2.
• Strain the sauce and add the bourbon. Serve warm over sliced pork tenderloin or chops.
• In a large pot heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and saute the onions until soft. Add the cinnamon, cloves, and cumin and cook for 30 seconds. Mix in the cabbage and saute for 5 minutes, until wilted. Add the cider, sugar, and vinegar. Cover and braise over low heat until the cabbage is tender, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500˚. Place the cabbage on a baking sheet, leaving room for the pork. Brush the cabbage all over with the melted butter; season with salt and pepper. Roast 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rub the pork with salt, pepper and the coriander. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, until browned all over, 8 minutes (reduce the heat if the pork is getting too dark). Transfer the pork to the baking sheet with the cabbage; reserve the skillet. Roast the pork and cabbage together until a thermometer inserted in the center of the pork registers 145˚, 13 to 15 minutes; transfer to a cutting board. Continue roasting the cabbage until browned, 5 to 10 more minutes.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika and stir until toasted, 30 seconds. Stir in the vinegar and sugar, then pour in 1/3 cup water, scraping up the bottom of the skillet. Cook until a thin sauce forms, 1 to 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the pork and divide among plates along with the cabbage. Spoon the bell pepper mixture over the pork; top with the parsley.

BRAISED PORK WITH RED WINE

Steps:

• Combine pork, salt and pepper to taste, wine, stock, carrots and garlic in a saucepan, Dutch oven or slow cooker. Bring to a boil, then adjust heat so that mixture simmers steadily but not vigorously. (If using a slow cooker, just turn it to ''high'' and let cook for at least three hours.)
• Cook, stirring every half-hour or so, until meat is very tender and just about falling apart, at least an hour and most likely a bit longer. Use a slotted spoon to remove solid ingredients to a bowl, then turn heat to high. (If using a slow cooker, transfer liquid to a saucepan for this step.) Reduce to about a cup, or even less. Taste and adjust seasoning, then lower heat and stir in butter.
• Add solids to sauce and reheat. Serve over egg noodles, garnished with parsley.

ROASTED LOIN OF PORK WITH BRAISED RED CABBAGE AND PORT WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, bring approximately 4 quarts of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. Fill a large mixing bowl with ice water. Blanch the red cabbage for about 30 seconds in a strainer in the large stockpot. After blanching, plunge the strainer containing the cabbage in the ice water for about 30 seconds. Dry the cabbage with a towel and reserve. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the pork lightly with black pepper.In a large cast-iron skillet, over medium-high heat, brown the pork loin on all sides, about 10 to 15 minutes. When properly browned, remove the pork loin to a platter and reserve. Distribute the onion slices on the bottom of the cast-iron skillet and place the browned pork loin on top. Transfer to the oven and roast until the internal temperature of the pork is 150 degrees, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the cast-iron skillet from the oven, transfer the pork loin from the skillet to a platter and let it rest in a warm spot. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned particles. Remove any burned onions. Sauté remaining onions over medium heat until caramelized, about 10 minutes, remove from the pan and reserve. In a large sauté pan, over high heat, preheat the vegetable oil. Add the garlic and blanched cabbage. Sauté until the cabbage is thoroughly heated through, but still crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and the caramelized onions from the cast-iron skillet, stir briefly, add the sage and capers, and season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and keep warm. To serve, cut the pork loin into 1/2-inch-to-2-inch-thick slices with one bone in each slice. Place the cooked cabbage on a large warm platter. Arrange the slices of pork on the cabbage, ladle the sauce over, and serve immediately.

LOIN OF PORK, BRAISED IN RED WINE

Steps:

• One to two days before, place the meat, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bouquet garni, juniper berries and salt and pepper in a large glass or earthenware bowl. Pour in enough red wine to just cover the meat, then add the vinegar. Cover with plastic wrap, then refrigerate, the longer the better.
• Remove meat from marinade and pat dry. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat until hot but not smoking. Reduce heat to medium, add the meat, and brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. Off the heat, flambé the roast with the Cognac. (To flambé: heat alcohol in saucepan, then remove from burner. Have lid at the ready, just in case. Stand back, and ignite liquid with long match. Pour flaming alcohol over meat.).
• Add the marinade, and all the ingredients in it. Simmer, partially covered, over low heat until the meat is tender, about one hour. Transfer meat to a cutting board, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Strain the cooking liquids through a sieve, reserving the vegetables. Discard garni. Return the the liquid to the Dutch oven, and boil, uncovered, over high heat to reduce by one third, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Finish the sauce: Purée the vegetables and cooking liquid in a blender to a smooth consistency. It should be a thick, full-flavored sauce. Return to the pan and reheat it. Add the red currant jelly and whisk until well blended. If the sauce seems thin, add a little potato starch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water or wine. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Do not boil.
• Slice the meat, and arrange on a platter. Spoon some of the sauce over the sliced meat, and pass the rest in a sauceboat.
