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.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

One (1 to 1 1/4 pounds) pork tenderloin or center-cut pork filet
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fine kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 long rosemary branches or wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 15 minutes
12 small ripe figs
4 ounces goat cheese
2 teaspoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Prepare a hot fire in your grill. Brush the tenderloin with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the skewers from the water. Pierce the figs through the middle with a metal skewer or ice pick to make a hole. Then thread 3 figs onto each rosemary or wooden skewer. Lightly brush the figs with olive oil.
  • Place the pork tenderloin directly over the fire. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side (the center-cut pork loin filet for 5 to 7 minutes per side), turning a quarter turn at a time, until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 140°F for medium and the meat is juicy and slightly pink in the center.
  • At the same time, place the skewered figs over the fire, turning several times and cooking for about 5 to 6 minutes until they are heated through. When they're caramelized and soft, remove the skewers from the heat and keep warm.
  • Let the pork rest for about 5 minutes, and then cut on the diagonal into 1- to 2-inch-thick slices.
  • To serve, arrange 3 slices of pork with a skewer of figs on each plate, all topped with crumbled goat cheese, drizzled with 1/2 teaspoon honey, and a sprinkled with chopped rosemary.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality pork sausages: Choose sausages made from fresh, flavorful pork for the best results.
  • Marinate the sausages: Marinating the sausages in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices before grilling helps to tenderize and infuse them with delicious flavors.
  • Grill the sausages over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Turn the sausages frequently: To ensure even cooking, turn the sausages every few minutes with tongs.
  • Use a meat thermometer: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a sausage to make sure it has reached an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  • Serve the sausages with your favorite sides: Grilled pork sausages are delicious served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or coleslaw.

Conclusion:

Grilled pork sausages with spiced figs is a flavorful and satisfying dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or a casual weeknight meal. By following the tips in this recipe, you can create tender, juicy sausages that are bursting with flavor. Serve them with your favorite sides for a complete and delicious meal.
