PANKO-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FIG GLAZE



Panko-Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Fig Glaze image

I always seem to have a jar of fig butter in my fridge for charcuterie boards. This recipe puts it to use in new ways -- to coat the pork tenderloin before rolling in panko and simmered in a buttery glaze to serve alongside the pork. If you don't have fig butter, it's absolutely worth buying a jar! The flavors pair beautifully with the pork.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups panko
2 1/2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons fig butter or fig spread
2 pork tenderloins (2 1/2 to 3 pounds total), excess fat and silver skin removed
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a medium skillet, combine the panko, 2 teaspoons of the herbes de Provence, 2 teaspoons salt, several grinds black pepper and the olive oil. Toast the panko over medium heat watching carefully and stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Prepare your breading station with three shallow baking dishes or plates big enough to fit the pork: Put the flour in one dish. Whisk the eggs with the 2 tablespoons fig butter in the second dish. Transfer the toasted panko to the third dish.
  • Season each pork tenderloin generously with salt. Coat each in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the egg and fig mixture. Coat with the panko, pressing gently to adhere. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Insert a probe thermometer into the middle of one tenderloin (or use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature after the suggested roasting time). Bake until cooked through and reaches 145 degrees F on the thermometer, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • About 5 minutes before the pork is done, make the fig glaze: Combine the remaining 1/3 cup fig butter with 1/3 cup water, the vinegar, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened but still pourable, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and swirl the pan until the butter melts and creates a shiny glaze.
  • Slice the pork and serve with the fig glaze on the side.

STUFFED PORK LOIN WITH FIGS



Stuffed Pork Loin With Figs image

The end result of stuffing the loin with figs is quite fabulous. The figs are imbued with the flavor of the meat. The meat gains moisture, sweetness and complexity from the figs. The presentation is considerably lovelier than an unadorned roast.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cup dried figs
1 boneless pork loin, 2 to 3 pounds
Salt
freshly ground pepper
3 or 4 fresh rosemary sprigs, minced
1/2 cup red wine, more if necessary

Steps:

  • Put figs in hot water to soak. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Wriggle a thin, sharp knife into each end of meat, making a kind of pilot hole. Then use handle of a long wooden spoon to force a hole all the way through meat, making it as wide as your thumb.
  • Drain when figs are tender but not mushy, reserving liquid. Stuff figs into roast, all the way to center from each end.
  • Combine salt, pepper and rosemary and rub it all over meat. Put meat in a roasting pan and pour about half a cup of fruit-soaking liquid over it. Roast undisturbed for 20 minutes. Lower heat to 350 degrees and continue to cook, basting with pan juices (or added liquid, like wine or water, if necessary) every 15 minutes or so. When an instant-read thermometer registers 145 to 150 degrees - probably after 40 to 60 minutes - remove roast to a warm platter. (When checking meat, be sure thermometer is in meat, not fruit.)
  • Let sit for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, put roasting pan on stove over one or two burners set to medium-high. If there is a lot of liquid, reduce it to about half a cup, scraping bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to release any brown bits. If pan is dry, add half a cup of wine and follow same process. When sauce has reduced, slice roast and serve with sauce.

BACON-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BALSAMIC AND FIG



Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic and Fig image

Adding fig preserves and balsamic vinegar to bacon-wrapped pork gives you the perfect sweet-salty combo of flavors that is impressive enough to serve guests. Best of all, it's ready in about 20 minutes. Be sure to use a tenderloin and not a loin - they are not the same size-wise and require very different cook times. I love to serve this with roasted Brussels sprouts and mashed sweet potatoes. Do not use thick-cut bacon, as it will not cook thoroughly.

Provided by France C

Categories     Pork Tenderloin

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

¾ teaspoon onion powder
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 ¼ pounds pork tenderloin
8 slices center-cut bacon
¼ cup fig preserves
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Steps:

  • Combine onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture all over the pork tenderloin and let sit at room temperature for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray foil with cooking spray.
  • On a clean work surface, lay bacon slices side by side, overlapping them slightly. Brush fig preserves on one side of the bacon. Place pork tenderloin on bottom end of the bacon slices and roll up so that tenderloin is wrapped in bacon. Place tenderloin, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes and remove pork tenderloin from oven.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Brush balsamic glaze all over the pork and return to the oven to broil until pork is slightly pink in the center, 5 to 7 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin. It should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork tenderloin by making a small cut into the center. The meat should be slightly pink in the middle.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.

Conclusion:

Fig-glazed pecan-stuffed pork tenderloin is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of sweet figs, crunchy pecans, and savory pork is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning, this dish can be easily prepared in advance, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
