Sage Roasted Pork Tenderloin And Beans Food

JAMIE'S TUSCAN-STYLE ROAST PORK LOIN & BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to full whack (240°C/475°F/gas 9).
• To make the marinade, pick the marjoram leaves into a pestle and mortar, bash to a rough paste with a pinch of sea salt, then muddle in 4 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar.
• Slice the green tops off the leeks (keep for soups or stock), then cut the white parts in half lengthways. Wash them, then chop into 3cm pieces and transfer to a shallow, snug-fitting casserole pan with the whole bulb of garlic.
• Score lines in a criss-cross pattern in the pork fat at ½cm intervals across the entire length of the loin (make sure you don't cut through to the meat). Then rub the loin with half of the marinade and place on top of the leeks. Using a small sharp knife, stab the pork skin all over, rub with a tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and place on a large baking tray.
• Reduce the oven temp to 200°C/400°F/gas 6, place the crackling on the top shelf and the pork on the shelf beneath, then roast for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, prep the greens. Tear the cavolo nero leaves, discarding the stalks, and finely slice the Savoy cabbage, discarding any tough stalky bits as you go, then finely slice the chard, stalks and all. Cook the cabbage, cavolo nero and toughest chard leaves in a pan of boiling water over a medium heat for 3 minutes, then add the tenderest chard leaves and simmer for 1 more minute.
• Tip the spinach into a colander, then drain the greens directly over it to wilt. Lay all the greens on a clean work surface to cool, then wrap in a clean tea towel and squeeze out all the excess liquid. Transfer to a board and chop everything finely. Reheat in a pan when ready to serve and dress with salt, pepper and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar.
• Remove the pork loin and crackling from the oven and transfer to a board to rest for 30 minutes. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins into the pan - discarding the skins as you go - then tip in the beans and chickpeas, juice and all. Place on a medium heat on the hob and gently simmer for 5 minutes, until heated through. Stir through the crème fraîche, season to taste and pour in any resting juices from the pork.
• To serve, spoon the beans onto serving plates and scatter over the cooked greens. Top each plate with two slices of pork, pour over the remaining Salmoriglio sauce and break over the crackling. Serve with a glass of chilled Valpolicella.

SAGE-AND-GARLIC-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together garlic, sage, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a small bowl. Rub mixture all over pork.
• Heat a large, heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil. Add pork, and brown all over, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer pan to oven. Roast pork, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 145 degrees to 150 degrees, about 20 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board; tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

SAGE AND GARLIC CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Stir together garlic, sage, salt, pepper and olive oil in a small bowl.
• Rub mixture all over pork.
• Heat a heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil. Add pork and brown on all sides, about 4 minutes.

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 GARLIC-SAGE PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, stir together garlic, sage, oil, salt and pepper. Rub garlic mixture over pork.
• Carefully brush oil on grill rack. Place pork on grill over medium heat. Cover; cook 35 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally, until meat thermometer inserted into center of pork reads 155°. Remove from grill; cover with foil and let stand 5 minutes until thermometer reads 160°F.
• To serve, cut pork across grain into thin slices. Garnish with additional fresh sage leaves if desired.
