Time 2h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast
5 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
3 tablespoons honey, or as needed
8 baby potatoes
2 carrots, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 Anaheim chile peppers, halved and seeded
1 red onion, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt to taste
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint
1 clove garlic, finely crushed

Steps:

  • Butterfly the pork loin by cutting almost all the way through, starting on the thinnest side, keeping your knife flat and parallel to the cutting board. Stop about 1 inch from the opposite edge you started, so that the meat opens up like a book. A few more shallow cuts can be made if the pork is not opening up enough to flatten out, but do not cut all the way through, otherwise you'll end up with two pieces.
  • Season the butterflied pork on both sides with kosher salt and let sit out at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes, or 2 to 3 hours in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a roasting pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pat the tenderloin dry with a paper towel.
  • Mix cumin, coriander, ginger, black pepper, smoked paprika,cayenne, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and honey together in a bowl with a spoon. Spread about half of the spice mixture inside the butterflied pork, fold it back together, and spread the remaining mixture all over the surface. Use 3 or 4 pieces of kitchen string to tie the loin up every few inches, cutting off extra string.
  • Toss potatoes, carrots, chile peppers, and onion with olive oil and salt in a bowl.
  • Place the pork into the prepared roasting pan and surround with vegetable mixture.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loin reads at least 140 to 145 degrees F (60 to 63 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn roast over with tongs in pan drippings. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Toss vegetable mixture in pan drippings and return to the oven to crisp up, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine yogurt, mint, and garlic in a small bowl for sauce.
  • Remove strings on roast. Slice, spoon pan drippings over, and serve with vegetables and yogurt sauce.

MOROCCAN TAGINE



Moroccan Tagine image

Tagines are Moroccan slow-cooked meat, fruit and vegetable dishes which are almost invariably made with mutton. Using lamb cuts down the cooking time, but if you can find good hogget (older than lamb, younger than mutton, commonly labeled 'baking legs' and sold cheaply) that will do very well.

Time 2h15m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large onions, peeled and sliced into rings
2 pounds lamb meat, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander seed
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
salt to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 pears - peeled, cored and cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks
½ cup golden raisins
½ cup blanched slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Fry the onion in the oil until soft. Add the lamb meat to the pan, and fry until just browned on the outside. Season with cumin, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Pour just enough water into the pot to cover the meat. Cover, and simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until meat is tender and the mixture is stew-like. Displace lid a little after an hour if there appears to be too much liquid.
  • Add the pears, golden raisins and almonds to the stew, and cook for another 5 minutes or so, until the pears are soft. Serve with rice.

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced 1/2 cm cubes

1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup water
1 medium eggplant, cut into 1 cm cubes
1/2 cup raisins (I have substituted sultanas)
1 (400 g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (I understand these are called garbanzo beans in other places)
1/2 cup dried apricot (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and garlic, stirring for a few minutes until onion is translucent.
  • Add chicken and lightly colour, stirring. Remove from pan.
  • Add carrots, capsicum, and spices.
  • Stir dry to toast.
  • Once a nice aroma comes from the pan, add 1/2 cup of water.
  • Cook stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
  • Add remaining ingredients.
  • Cover and simmer over a medium heat for 30 minutes until veggies are tender.
  • Stir frequently during cooking, to prevent catching on the bottom.
  • You may need to add additional water.
  • Serve with couscous.
  • NB: You only need to salt your eggplant if there are lots of black seeds when you cut it open.
  • Make sure you rinse the excess salt off and dry well in that case.

Tips:

  • If you can't find ras el hanout, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon each of cumin, coriander, ginger, turmeric, paprika, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to this tagine, such as carrots, potatoes, or turnips.
  • Serve the tagine with couscous, rice, or bread.
  • If you don't have a tagine, you can make this dish in a Dutch oven or slow cooker.
  • To make this dish ahead of time, cook the tagine according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the tagine in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the tagine over low heat until warmed through.

Conclusion:

Moroccan pork tagine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of pork, spices, and vegetables creates a flavorful and satisfying stew that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with couscous, rice, or bread for a complete meal.
