Slow Roast Pork With Apples Peppers Food

SLOW-ROAST PORK WITH APPLES & PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Sit the pork on a sheet of foil in a roasting tin. Mix the butter, sugar and mustard with 2 tsp salt, rub all over the top and ends of the joint (or joints), then scrunch up the foil to seal tightly in a parcel.
• Mix the onions and apples in a large, shallow roasting tin. Scatter the peppers over the top and poke in some bay leaves. Mix the vinegar, oil, mustard and sugar with 100ml water and drizzle over everything. Roast the pork for 3½ hrs while you cook the peppers on the shelf below for the first 2 hrs. When you remove the apples and peppers after 2 hrs, set aside and put the Salt-baked potatoes (see 'Goes well with', right) into the oven underneath the pork instead.
• After 3 hrs, unwrap the foil from the pork. Scrape any mustard mixture stuck to the foil back onto the pork, sit it and any juices back in the tin and increase oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roast for 30-45 mins more until the skin is brown and crisping. Remove the pork from the oven, cover and rest for 20 mins while you put the peppers back on the top shelf for 20 mins to finish. Serve the pork thickly sliced alongside the apples and peppers, with any tin juices poured over.

ROAST PORK LOIN WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper. Sear the meat until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and set it aside.
• Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, herb sprigs, and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sliced apples, then push the mixture to the sides and set the pork loin in the middle of the skillet along with any collected juices on the plate. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 140 to 150 degrees F, about 30 to 35 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
• Transfer the pork a cutting board and cover it loosely with foil while you make the sauce. Arrange the apples and vegetables on a serving platter and set aside. Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Return the skillet to a high heat and add the vinegar scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up any browned bits. Reduce by half then add the cider and reduce by about half again. Pull the skillet from the heat and whisk in the mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold butter. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Remove the strings from the roast and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange over the apple mixture. Drizzle some sauce over meat and serve the rest on the side.
• Cook's Note: Pork cooked this way will be slightly pink. If desired, cook the pork to 160 degrees F, but be aware that this lean cut will not be as moist at the higher temperature.

SAVORY ROAST PORK WITH APPLES AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Spray a crock pot with cooking spray or line with a crock pot liner for easy clean up.
• Place prepared apples and parsnips in the bottom of the crock pot and top with onion quarters. You can use your fingers to separate the onion quarters into smaller pieces if you like.
• Combine the brown sugar, ground ginger, garlic powder and salt and pepper in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed. Rub mixture into the roast making sure to get the mixture on all sides.
• Place roast in crock pot on top of the onion layer. Pour apple cider over the roast and sprinkle the crumbled cooked bacon on top.
• Turn crock pot to low and cook for 10 to 12 hours.
• To serve, remove roast and allow to rest for a few minutes. Slice into serving sized pieces and place on a platter. Place apples, onions and parsnips around the roast.
• Strain the juices remaining in the crock pot into a medium sauce pan and place pan over medium heat. Add cornstarch to a bowl or small container with a tight lid and add 1/4 cup cold water. Stir or shake well until no clumps remain. Pour mixture into saucepan containing hot juices and whisk over medium heat until desired consistency is reached.
• Pour thickened juices into a gravy boat or other serving container and serve alongside platter of roast.

SLOW COOKED PORK WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Slice apples and lay them on the bottom of the slow cooker, slice onion and lay half of them on top of the apples.
• Season roast with Italiano Seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder, and it you want to add salt and pepper. Lay on top of the apples, and top with the remaining onions.
• Pour apple juice down the side of the slow cooker so you don't rinse off all the seasoning.
• Cook on High for 4 hours.
• When ready to serve, boil or ramen noodles in just water, drain, and toss with some butter and the seasoning packets.
• Serve pork with the apples and noodles.
• This is a basic last minute chuck into the slow cooker and run because your late recipe. If you want to add different seasonings then experiment. I really didn't know how it would taste until I got home 9 hours later. Hubby told me I have to make it more often.
