Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Good olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups sliced yellow onions (2 onions)
2 cups sliced fennel (1 large bulb)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 large cloves)
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon Pernod or white wine
3 cups fresh bread crumbs
1 (3 1/2-pound) loin of pork, butterflied

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • For the stuffing, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan. Add the onions and fennel with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook over low to medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions and fennel are tender and lightly browned. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 more minute. Add the Pernod and cook for another minute, deglazing the pan. Cool slightly.
  • Add the bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon of salt to the stuffing mixture. Lay the pork on a board fat side down, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing evenly on the pork and roll up lengthwise, ending with the fat on the top of the roll. Tie with kitchen string, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Place the rolled pork loin on a baking rack on a sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F and roast for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the interior of the pork is 137 degrees F. (If the thermometer hits stuffing rather than pork, it will register a higher temperature, so test the meat in several places.) Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the strings, slice thickly, and serve.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEACH CHUTNEY AND FARRO WITH FENNEL AND ONIONS



Pork Tenderloin with Peach Chutney and Farro with Fennel and Onions image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup farro
4 to 5 sprigs thyme, tied with butcher's twine
1 fresh bay leaf
4 cups chicken stock
Kosher salt
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 bulb fennel, cored and diced, plus 1/4 cup fronds, chopped and some reserved whole
1 small onion, diced
One 14-ounce can cannellini beans, drained
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon fennel pollen
Crushed red pepper
2 peaches, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • To a medium saucepan, add the farro, thyme bundle, bay leaf, 2 1/2 cups of the chicken stock and salt to taste. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the farro is tender, adding 1/2 cup water if the pot looks dry towards the end of the cooking time, 25 to 30 minutes. Discard the thyme bundle and bay leaf and strain out the farro.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to the pan that the farro was cooked in and return to heat. Add the fennel and half of the diced onion and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cannellini beans and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the cooked farro and grated Parmesan cheese and stir to combine. Fold in the chopped fennel fronds.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and 1 tablespoon of the fennel pollen. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear on all sides until evenly golden brown,10 minutes. Remove the pork from the pan and place onto a sheet tray. Reserve the pan that the pork was cooked in for later, draining off any excess oil. Transfer the pork into the oven and bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes, then cut the pork into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Place the saute pan that the pork was cooked in back onto the heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the other half of the onion. Season with salt and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, 5 minutes. Add the peaches, whole-grain mustard, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, remaining 1 1/2 cups chicken stock and remaining 1/4 teaspoon fennel pollen. Stir to combine and cook until reduced, 5 to 7 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Plate the farro, followed by the sliced pork tenderloin and a generous scoop of sauce. Garnish with whole fennel fronds.

FENNEL SEED SPIKED PORK ROAST



Fennel Seed Spiked Pork Roast image

I have often served a fennel salad with a pork chop, and decided: let's kick it up a notch. Thus the birth of this dish. Roast for 40 minutes per pound.

Provided by wsf

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Roast Recipes

Time 5h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons fennel seed
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
5 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons ouzo
1 (8 pound) fresh Boston butt pork roast
2 large onions, thickly sliced
1 fennel bulb, sliced thickly
water as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Toast the fennel seed, rosemary, thyme, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium-low heat until strongly fragrant and the fennel seeds are lightly browned, 1 to 3 minutes. Do not let the spices burn! Place the toasted spices, sea salt, garlic, and ouzo into a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, and grind to a paste. Score the fat layer of the pork roast with a sharp knife; rub the spice paste all over the roast.
  • Spread the sliced onions and fennel into the bottom of a large roasting pan; pour enough water into the pan to just cover the vegetables. Place the roast on top of the onions and fennel with the fat layer facing upward.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until the pork is tender, 5 to 6 hours (or about 40 minutes per pound). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 185 degrees F (85 degrees C). Add extra water if needed during roasting to prevent the onions and fennel from burning.

SPICY GRILLED PORK WITH FENNEL, CUMIN AND RED ONION



Spicy Grilled Pork With Fennel, Cumin and Red Onion image

Imbued with spices that char at high heat, this aromatic pork recipe is a snap to throw together - exactly what you want for a night of summer grilling. If you're got wooden skewers, don't forget to soak them in water for an hour before grilling, so they don't flare up. And if you're broiling and you don't want to bother with skewers at all, just spread the pork cubes out on a rimmed sheet pan, turning them halfway through cooking with tongs or a spatula. The pork is excellent served with pita or crusty bread or a rice pilaf, or simple grilled corn on the cob.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     meat, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Kosher salt
1 lime, plus some wedges for serving
1/4 cup cilantro or basil, leaves and tender stems, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 jalapeño or other green chile, seeded if desired
1 teaspoon honey
1 1/2 tablespoons fennel seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 small red onion, sliced, for serving

Steps:

  • Season pork lightly with kosher salt and put it in a bowl or resealable bag.
  • Juice the lime into a blender or food processor and add cilantro, fish sauce, garlic, jalapeño and honey. Blend until the jalapeño and garlic are puréed, then add fennel, cumin, coriander seeds and pulse four or five times to bruise the spices and mix them in.
  • Pour mixture over the pork, tossing to coat the pieces. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes while you heat the grill, or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to cook, heat the grill or broiler with a rack positioned 4 inches from the heat source.
  • Thread the pork onto skewers, leaving a little space between cubes. Grill over the highest heat possible, or broil on high, for 2 to 5 minutes, then flip the skewers and continue cooking until the meat is browned all over and charred in spots. It should be just cooked through: A little pink is OK, but there shouldn't be any red spots.
  • Serve the pork with cilantro sprigs and onion slices on top, and lime wedges on the side for squeezing.

ROASTED PORK, FENNEL, AND ONIONS



Roasted Pork, Fennel, and Onions image

Great for big feasts! Olive oil can be substituted for butter, if you'd rather eat olive oil than butter.

Provided by Christine L.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork

Time 1h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup fresh sage
1 ½ tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons freshly ground cumin seed
1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast - trimmed, rolled, and tied
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 bulbs fennel, trimmed, tops reserved
1 ½ cups orange juice
4 red onions with peel, halved
½ cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup sage. Cook and stir until leaves are slightly crisp, about 1 minute. Remove leaves with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels. Cool, wrap in paper towels, and seal in a plastic bag. Set aside. Reserve the butter.
  • Mix the pepper and cumin in a small bowl. Rinse roast and pat dry; rub evenly with the pepper and cumin. Tuck remaining 1/2 cup sage leaves under the strings on the smooth (fattiest) side of the roast. Set the pork, herb side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
  • Spread olive oil in the bottom of a medium baking dish. Thickly slice fennel and place in the dish. Toss to coat with the olive oil, and drizzle with 3/4 cup orange juice. Place onions in the dish cut side down.
  • Place roast on the center rack in the preheated oven. Place fennel and onions on lower rack. Bake the pork and vegetables 1 hour, or until pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) and vegetables are tender. Turn fennel once during bake time. Reserving drippings, transfer meat to a platter and keep warm; let stand at least 10 minutes. Keep the vegetables warm in the baking dish.
  • Place the roasting pan with reserved drippings over high heat on the stove top, and mix in the reserved butter from Step 1, the remaining 3/4 cup orange juice, stock, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, and stir to scrape up any browned bits in the pan. Cook, stirring often, 10 minutes, or until reduced by about 1/2.
  • Arrange onions and fennel around the pork. Garnish with fennel tops, sprinkle with the fried sage leaves, and season with salt to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm to the touch and has no signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Sear the pork tenderloin before roasting: Searing the tenderloin creates a delicious crust and helps to keep the juices in.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or rub: Marinating or rubbing the tenderloin with a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Roast the pork tenderloin to the proper internal temperature: The ideal internal temperature for a pork tenderloin is 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a meat thermometer to ensure that the tenderloin is cooked to the proper temperature is important.
