ROSEMARY-SCENTED PORK LOIN STUFFED WITH ROASTED GARLIC, DRIED APRICOTS AND CRANBERRIES AND PORT WINE PAN SAUCE



Rosemary-Scented Pork Loin Stuffed With Roasted Garlic, Dried Apricots and Cranberries and Port Wine Pan Sauce image

Pork loin roast - good-looking, lean, and attractively priced (under $25) - makes a memorable, no-fuss meal for holiday entertaining.

Provided by Ben S.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons olive oil
16 whole peeled garlic cloves
2 tablespoons minced garlic cloves
1 (8 pound) whole boneless pork loin, patted dry, at room temperature
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary (snip with scissors), divided
16 dried apricots (or similar amount of your favorite dried fruit)
⅓ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup apple jelly
¼ cup port
½ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons apple jelly
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 250 degrees. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add whole garlic cloves and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; reserve oil.
  • Turn pork loin fat-side down. Slit lengthwise, almost but not quite all the way through, to form a long pocket, leaving a 1/2-inch border of unslit meat at each end. Brush cavity with some of the reserved garlic cooking oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and 1 Tb. of the rosemary. Line cavity with sauteed garlic and apricots; sprinkle in cranberries. Tie loin together with kitchen twine or heavy-duty string at 1 1/2-inch intervals.
  • Brush with remaining oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Set roast, fat-side up, diagonally or curved (so it fits) on a large, lipped cookie sheet or jellyroll pan. Warm 1/4 cup apple jelly along with the minced garlic and remaining rosemary. Brush mixture onto meat.
  • Roast until a meat thermometer stuck into the center registers 125 to 130 degrees. (Start checking at about 1 1/2 hours.) Remove from oven; raise oven temperature to 400 degrees. Brush loin with pan drippings, return to oven, and continue to roast until the loin is golden brown and a meat thermometer stuck into the center registers 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 20 minutes longer. For even more attractive coloring, broil until spotty brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Let roast rest 15 to 20 minutes; transfer to a carving board. Stir juices around pan to loosen brown bits. Pour through a strainer into a small pan, and stir in port, chicken broth and remaining 2 Tbs. of jelly; bring to a simmer. Mix cornstarch with a couple of tablespoons of cold water; whisk into sauce. Simmer until lightly thickened. Slice pork and serve with a little sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure evenly cooked and tender pork, use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, and 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
  • Let the pork roast rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and succulent dish.
  • For a crispy and flavorful crust, rub the pork roast with a mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder before roasting.
  • To keep the pork roast moist and prevent it from drying out, baste it with the pan juices every 20-30 minutes during roasting.
  • If you don't have a roasting pan, you can use a large baking dish. Just make sure to add some water or broth to the bottom of the dish to prevent the pork from sticking.
  • For the stuffing, use fresh cranberries and apricots for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh fruit, you can use dried cranberries and apricots, but be sure to soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before using.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of spices and herbs in the stuffing according to your taste preferences.

Conclusion:

This pork rib roast with cranberry-apricot stuffing is a delectable and impressive dish perfect for special occasions or weekend gatherings. The combination of tender and flavorful pork, tangy cranberries, and sweet apricots creates a harmonious and satisfying culinary experience. The roasting process infuses the meat with rich and smoky aromas, while the stuffing adds a delightful burst of flavor and texture. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a novice in the kitchen, this recipe offers a rewarding and delicious outcome that will leave your taste buds wanting more.
