SKILLET PORK AND PEPPERS



Skillet Pork and Peppers image

This one-pan dish has flavors reminiscent of the Italian-American classic sausage-and-peppers, but is much lighter. We've swapped the typical sausage for lean and juicy pork tenderloin and added pickled pepperoncini for zip.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large pork tenderloin (about 11/2 pounds), trimmed
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, thickly sliced
2 red and/or yellow bell peppers, sliced into wide strips
6 cloves garlic, smashed
16 fresh sage leaves
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup sliced pickled pepperoncini, plus 2 teaspoons liquid from the jar
1/3 cup dry white wine
2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Slice the pork on an angle into 1-inch-thick pieces; season with salt. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the onion and bell peppers; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender and slightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add the pork and sear over high heat until browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to the plate with the onion and peppers.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, sage and tomato paste to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste turns brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the pepperoncini slices and their liquid, then pour in the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add the broth and return to a simmer. Arrange the pork in a single layer in the skillet; add the onion and peppers and sprinkle with cheese. Transfer to the oven and broil until the pork is cooked through, 4 to 7 minutes.

MEXICAN PULLED PORK

Provided by goodsazon

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (3 pound) boneless pork roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 ½ cups water, divided, or more as needed
½ cup white vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons lard
2 guajillo chile peppers, seeds and membranes removed
1 ancho chile pepper, seeds and membranes removed
⅓ cup coarsely chopped parsley
6 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Place pork, 1/2 cup water, vinegar, and salt in a large saucepan. Simmer, covered, until all the liquid has cooked off and the pork cooks in its own rendered fat, 45 to 50 minutes. Add lard if there is not enough fat, so pork cooks to a golden brown. Set aside.
  • Place the guajillo and ancho chiles in a small saucepan with 1 cup water. Cover and cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender and add parsley, garlic, oregano, and cumin; puree.
  • Add the pureed mixture to the pork. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, covered, until the pork is tender and can easily be cut with a fork, about 1 hour. It may be necessary to add another cup of water to the pan, depending on the tenderness of the meat.
  • Let pork rest for 15 minutes. Shred with 2 forks.
