PEAMEAL BACON

Provided by Fredéric Morin

Categories     Brunch     Pork Tenderloin     Cornmeal     Maple Syrup     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes about 4 pounds (1.8 kg)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 quarts (3 liters) cold water
1 cup (300 g) maple syrup
2/3 cup (150 g) kosher salt
2 tablespoons Prague powder #1 cure (optional)
10 peppercorns
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 bay leaf
4 1/2 pounds (2 kg) boneless lean pork loin
1 1/2 cups (215 g) coarse cornmeal or 1 1/2 cups (340 g) dried yellow peas, roughly milled in a food processor

Steps:

  • 1. In a plastic (preferably) container large enough to hold both the brine and the meat, mix together the water, maple syrup, salt, cure, and spices.
  • 2. Scoop out a scant 1 cup (200 ml) brine, and use it to load the brine injector. Then, inject the loin every 3/4 to 1 inch (2 to 2.5 cm), inserting the needle about 3/4 inch (2 cm) deep. Try to distribute the brine evenly over the loin. Place the loin in the container with the remaining brine, and keep the meat submerged with the help of a plate or an object of a similar build. Cover and refrigerate for 4 full days.
  • 3. Remove the loin from the brine and pat it dry. Then roll it in the meal of your choosing. Give it a day's rest, uncovered, in the fridge, so the meal and meat form as one.
  • 4. You have two options on cooking it: you can slice it and griddle it for a minute on each side (for thin slices that is), or you can bake it at 375°F (190°C) for about an hour, or until it has a core temperature of 142°F (61°C), then slice it. I like it the first way, especially when it gets a bit burnt on the edges and I have added a dash of maple syrup that caramelizes a bit toward the end.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: A pork loin roast is a good choice for this recipe, as it is a lean and flavorful cut of meat.
  • Score the pork roast before cooking: This will help the marinade to penetrate the meat and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Use a good quality maple syrup: The maple syrup is the key ingredient in this recipe, so it is important to use a good quality syrup that has a rich flavor.
  • Marinate the pork roast for at least 2 hours or overnight: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to soak into the meat and make it more tender.
  • Roast the pork roast in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the meat cooks evenly.
  • Baste the pork roast with the marinade during cooking: This will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful.
  • Let the pork roast rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

This maple peameal roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The pork roast is tender and flavorful, and the maple glaze is sweet and tangy. Serve this roast with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
