MUSHROOM-STUFFED PORK ROULADE

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until they start browning, about 2 minutes. Stir and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 5 more minutes. Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet. Add another 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic to the other side of the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 30 seconds. Stir the garlic into the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, combine the parsley, chopped thyme and rosemary, 3 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
• Butterfly the pork: Position your knife about one-third of the way up the length of the pork loin, with your knife parallel to the cutting board. Begin cutting into the pork, pulling the meat away with your other hand so that it opens up into a flat, evenly thick piece. Season the pork with salt and pepper, spread the herb oil over the top, and top with the mushrooms. Reroll the pork into a log and tie in 1-inch intervals using kitchen twine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Set a rack in a large roasting pan. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork, fat-side down, and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, turning, until browned all over, 1 to 2 more minutes. Transfer the pork, seam-side down, to the rack in the pan. Roast on the lower oven rack until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat (not the filling) registers 135 degrees F, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove the pork on the rack to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, skim off any excess fat from the juices in the roasting pan and add the sherry. Place the pan across two burners over medium-high heat. Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs and cook, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon and stirring, until the liquid is reduced by about half, 1 minute. Pour into a small saucepan, add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and season with salt. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve.
• Place the pork on a cutting board and remove the twine; cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Transfer to a platter and serve with the sauce.

STUFFED PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Brown sausage in a saute pan. Add apples and shallots and cook 3 minutes. Transfer to a mixing bowl, add walnuts and parsley, and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Let cool before stuffing.
• Split the pork roast horizontally, forming a pocket; do not cut all the way through. Season roast inside and out with salt and pepper. Pack stuffing in the center and tie roast with enough butcher's twine to hold it together.
• Heat oil in a large saute pan. Add roast and sear on all sides until well-browned. Transfer to a rack set in a roasting pan and roast until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 145 to 150 degrees F, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Remove roast to a carving board, cover loosely with foil, and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Slice roast into 12 pieces. Serve 2 slices per serving, garnished with parsley.

CHEESE-STUFFED PORK ROULADE

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, leaving 1 burner off for indirect heat (to finish the roulades). Oil the grill grates.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the broccoli begins to brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 cup water and continue to cook until the water evaporates and the broccoli is tender, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl; stir in the Cheddar and set aside.
• Butterfly the tenderloins by making a 1-inch-deep incision down the length of each without cutting all the way through. Open the tenderloins like books so they lie flat, cover with plastic wrap and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until they're about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the broccoli mixture over the 2 tenderloins, leaving a 1-inch border around all the sides except the long one closest to you. Starting with the long side closest to you, tightly roll up each tenderloin, tucking the narrow ends inside as you roll. Tie each roulade with butcher's twine tightly (without piercing the meat) at each end and at 2-inch intervals in between. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Grill the roulades over direct heat, turning, until the outside is well marked, about 12 minutes. Move them to indirect heat, cover and cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of each roulade registers 145 degrees F, about 15 minutes more. Transfer them to a cutting board to rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lay a slice of onion on a cutting board. Place the palm of 1 hand on top of the slice, and with the other hand, push a metal skewer through the slice crosswise until it comes out the other side. Repeat with the other slices, leaving an inch of skewer uncovered on each end and using as many skewers as necessary. Thread the tomatoes on skewers. Brush the onions and tomatoes with oil. Grill, turning, until the tomatoes are charred and bursting and the onion slices are tender with brown edges, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the tomatoes and onions from the skewers and chop. Mix with the parsley, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
• Cut the strings off the roulades with scissors and slice the roulades on the bias. Serve with the relish.

SAUSAGE AND APPLE STUFFED PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large saute pan over medium heat, saute the sausage until no longer pink. Remove the sausage (leave in the fat), and set aside. To the pan, add the onion, celery, and apple and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until the apple is no longer crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional couple of minutes. Remove from the heat, stir the sausage back in and set aside.
• In a food processor, pulse the bread with the sage, rosemary, and thyme into coarse crumbs.
• Heat the butter in a medium saute pan and cook the crumbs over medium-high heat until coated with butter and lightly toasted, about 3 minutes (be careful not to burn). Mix the breadcrumbs into the sausage mixture.
• Prepare the roast as if making a jellyroll. Place the roast with the short side toward you, and fat facing down toward the counter or cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice the roast open at about 1/2-inch from the bottom of the roast (parallel to the cutting board), being careful not to cut all the way through. Continue cutting, unrolling the roast as you work until you have a large, thin piece of meat. Place the rolled out piece of meat between 2 sheets of waxed or parchment paper, and lightly pound with meat mallet to increase the meat surface area by 10 to 20 percent. Be careful not to pound through the meat. Salt and pepper the pork and top with the filling, spreading evenly across the pork, leaving a 1-inch margin around the perimeter.
• Starting with the short side, roll up tightly jellyroll style, and secure the roast with kitchen twine.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add oil. Add the roast and brown on all sides. Place in a roasting pan fitted with a rack and add the wine in the bottom of the pan (to keep the juices from burning), and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature hits 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the roast from the oven and allow to rest for a full 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

PORK ROULADE WITH CHUTNEY STUFFING AND ROSEMARY GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the chutney: Combine the cinnamon, rosemary, shallot ginger, garlic, chicken stock, apple dried fruit and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce the heat to simmer until soft and plump, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, discard the cinnamon stick and rosemary sprigs. Strain the dried fruit mixture, reserving the infused chicken stock. Transfer the dried fruit mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the vinegar, sugar, walnuts and a pinch of salt.
• For the pork: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Slice the pork lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, the other side. Open the halves, laying the pork flat like a book. Place plastic wrap over the pork; pound to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick, using a meat mallet. Season the pork with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Spread the chutney mixture on the pork. Roll up, jelly-roll fashion. Truss the rolled pork with butcher's twine.
• Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork, seam-side down; cook 4 minutes or until browned, carefully turning occasionally. If the pan gets too dark, deglaze with 1/4 cup chicken stock, discarding the stock in a heatproof bowl after the deglazing. Place the pan in the oven. Roast until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pork from the pan to a cutting board; let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
• Return the pan to medium-high heat and deglaze with 1 cup of the reserved infused chicken stock. Cook, stirring constantly, until the stock has reduced and thickened. Stir in the butter and season the sauce with salt and pepper, strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Drizzle around the pork. Serve with Garlic Rosemary Mashed Potatoes and Celery Salad.
• Put the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Very generously salt the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the potatoes are very soft, about 18 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, garlic, rosemary, shallots and a pinch of salt. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes or until the cream reduces to 1/2 cup. Strain, set aside and keep warm.
• Drain the potatoes then put them through a food mill or ricer into a large bowl. Immediately stir in the butter and gradually pour in the warm cream. Stir until smooth. Season to taste with salt.
• Add all ingredients into a medium bowl; toss gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

PORK ROULADE WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND SAUSAGE STUFFING AND MUSTARD MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the roulade: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the pine nuts onto a small sheet tray and place in the oven to toast, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Set up a large pot of well-salted boiling water. Set up a large bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the broccoli rabe for 1 minute until bright green and tender, but still crisp. Remove from the boiling water and plunge immediately into the ice bath. Once cool, remove from the ice bath and use your hands to squeeze out excess water. Finely chop the broccoli rabe and add to a large bowl with the sausage, pine nuts, parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg and crushed red pepper. Sprinkle with salt.
• Heat a small saute pan over medium-high heat with a little olive oil. Take a small amount of filling and cook a small tester patty to test for seasoning. Adjust the seasoning on the remaining raw mixture if needed.
• Trim any excess fat from the pork chops. Cut the pork lengthwise to butterfly, then pound to an even thickness of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Lay a large piece of caul fat out on a large, flat work surface. Place 4 slices of prosciutto over the caul fat, followed by the pounded pork loin on top of the prosciutto. Set half the broccoli rabe and sausage filling on top of the pork loin and shape into a thin log. Wrap the prosciutto and pork loin around the filling and roll into a tight log. Wrap the caul fat around the stuffed pork, cutting off any excess from the ends, making sure the caul fat is in one even layer around the pork. Tie with butcher's twine to secure and trim any excess string. Repeat with the remaining pork and filling.
• Heat a large saute pan with olive oil over high heat. Sear the roulades, turning on all sides, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the pork to a sheet tray and place into the oven and reserve the pan that the pork was cooked in. Roast the pork at 375 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer registers 150 degrees F. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove the string.
• Place the pan that the pork was cooked in back onto medium-high heat and drain off any remaining fat. Add the shallot and cook for 2 minutes until tender. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and stir, making sure to scrape the bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until almost all of the liquid has reduced, then add half the chicken stock. Continue to cook until the liquid has reduced by half, then add the remaining chicken stock. Cook until slightly reduced then remove from heat.
• Slice the pork into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Plate alongside the mashed potatoes and a drizzle of sauce over the pork.
• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan. Add cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 to 2 inches and generously season with kosher salt. Bring the pot of water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Drain the potatoes and add back to the large saucepan. Using an electric hand mixer, mix the potatoes and gradually add the butter and warmed heavy cream, alternating, until the potatoes reach a creamy and silky consistency. You may not need to use all the heavy cream. Add the whole-grain mustard, Dijon mustard and kosher salt to taste and mix thoroughly to combine. Makes 4 servings
