Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, or more, to taste
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds pork loin roast
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 sweet onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, zested
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
Kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, cumin, cayenne, and salt, to taste. Rub the mixture all over the outside of the pork. In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat and brown the pork roast on all sides, just until golden. Remove the pork to a sheet tray, fat side up.
  • Meanwhile, make the herb crust: In a food processor, combine the onions, garlic, ginger, cilantro, and lime zest. In the same saute pan in which the pork was browned, add the olive oil and the onion mixture and cook until softened. Stir in the bread crumbs and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt, to taste. Spread the mustard on top of the fatty layer of pork and then press the herb crust into it. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 30 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and allow to rest, covered for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice the roast, arrange on a serving platter and serve.

HERBED PORK TENDERLOINS

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pork tenderloins (2 1/2 to 3 pounds total)
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Good olive oil
10 to 12 slices prosciutto

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the tenderloins on a sheet pan and pat them dry with paper towels. Combine the rosemary, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the tenderloins all over with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle all sides with the herb mixture. If there is a thinner "tail," fold it underneath so the tenderloin is an even thickness throughout. Wrap the tenderloins completely with a single layer of prosciutto. (I place the prosciutto sideways with the ends wrapping under the tenderloins.) Tie in several places with kitchen string to hold the prosciutto and the "tail" in place.
  • Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of the end of the tenderloin reads 140 degrees F for medium rare and 145 degrees F for medium. Cover the tenderloins tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice diagonally in thick slices and serve warm with apple chutney.

PORK LOIN WITH HERB CRUST



Pork Loin With Herb Crust image

From the Penzey's catalogue. I used a boneless pork loin roast and it worked fine. I also had to cook a little longer. I did make this GF/CF and it turned out great.

Provided by WI Cheesehead

Categories     Pork

Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 -5 lbs loin pork rib racks, bone-in
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 large garlic cloves, minced or 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons basil
1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary
1 tablespoon coarse black pepper
3/4 cup butter, cut up (or margarine)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken stock
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the olive oil with the garlic, salt, basil, thyme, parsley, rosemary and black pepper.
  • Rub the pork all over with olive oil and herb mixture.
  • Place the pork on a rack and roast at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 150 degrees. The temperature will rise about 10 degrees while resting. If you prefer a higher than 160 degree final temp., cook longer as desired.
  • Transfer to a serving tray, cover and let rest while making the sauce.
  • For the sauce, pour the pan drippings into a skillet. Add the butter; cook over medium heat until melted. Whisk in the flour until smooth and bubbly.
  • Gradually whisk in the stock, tomato paste, sage and pepper; cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, 2 to 3 minutes or until the mixture is thickened.
  • Slice the roast between the bones and serve the sauce over the pork, under the pork or on the side.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, tie the pork loin at 1-inch intervals.
  • For a crispier crust, sear the pork loin in a hot skillet before roasting.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork loin. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 150°F (66°C) for medium, and 155°F (68°C) for medium-well.
  • Let the pork loin rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve the pork loin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
