Roasted Pork Loin With Bacon And Onion Spaetzle Food

ROASTED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork on all sides with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cook the pork, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer the pork to a 13-by-9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish.
• Add the mushrooms, garlic, onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Increase the heat to high. Add the wine and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 2 minutes.
• Pour the wine mixture into the dish with the pork and bake until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 165 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Pour the pan juices into a medium saucepan. Stir in the parsley and keep warm over low heat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut the pork into twelve 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange in a single layer in the baking dish and place a piece of cheese on each slice. Bake until the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon the wine sauce over the top of the pork and serve.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BACON-ONION JAM

Steps:

• For the bacon-onion jam: Heat the oil in a cast-iron pan on medium heat; add the onion and cook until beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the bacon and thyme and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, then transfer the bacon and onion from the pan with a slotted spoon into a small saucepot. Reserve the bacon fat in the pan for cooking the tenderloin.
• Put the saucepot with the bacon-onion mixture over medium-low heat and add the brown sugar and coffee. Cook the mixture down to a thick consistency, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the apple cider vinegar.
• For the pork tenderloin: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towels, sprinkle with the garlic powder and season well with salt and pepper.
• Heat the reserved bacon grease in a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and place the tenderloin in the hot fat. (This comes out even better if you use the same pan you made the jam in; you get all the flavor from the jam.) Sear on all sides, then transfer the pan to the oven to finish cooking to an internal temperature of 135 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the bacon-onion jam.

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH BACON AND ONION SPAETZLE

• Place in a roasting pan.
• Roast the loin for 25 to 30 minutes for medium.
• Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• For the spaetzle: In a hot large pan, render the bacon until crispy, remove the bacon from the pan.
• In the bacon fat, saute the onions for 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in the bacon.
• Season.

BACON ONION SPAETZLE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs and milk. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth; let stand for 30 minutes. Press the batter through a sieve into boiling salted water. Cook about 1 minute. Drop cooked spaetzle into ice water. Drain spaetzle and set aside.
• In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until golden, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add onions and cook until soft, about 4 to 5 minutes. In a separate skillet, saute the cooked spaetzle in the oil until golden. Add the bacon mixture, season as needed with salt and pepper, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BACON JAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cook the bacon in a saucepan over medium heat until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Drain all but 1 to 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease. Add the lager, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard seeds, red pepper flakes and rosemary to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer until the mixture becomes a very thick syrup, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over a medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Sprinkle the pork with the garlic pepper seasoning and add to the skillet. Cook, turning as needed, until the pork is browned all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until cooked through (145 degrees F on a meat thermometer), 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent with foil to rest, about 5 minutes.
• Finish the bacon jam by stirring the bacon into the reduced beer mixture.
• Toss the arugula with the lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, then transfer to a platter. Slice the tenderloin and shingle it around the arugula. Top with the bacon jam and serve.
