Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup honey
10 juniper berries
2 sprigs rosemary
10 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 2-pound skin-on rack of pork (pork loin roast) with 4 rib bones, frenched (ribs scraped clean; ask your butcher to do this)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, chopped
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced
1 Bosc pear, peeled and diced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Make the brine: Combine the salt, honey and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over high heat. When the salt and honey have dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and add the juniper berries, rosemary, peppercorns, bay leaf and garlic. Let steep until the water cools to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Add the brine mixture to a large container with a lid, then add 14 cups cold water. Score the skin on the pork roast with a knife in a 1-inch diamond pattern. Submerge the pork in the brine and cover the container. Let the pork brine overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the pork from the brine, then rinse and pat dry (discard the brine). Season the pork all over with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Heat a large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat for a few minutes, then add the olive oil and sear the roast on all sides until deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the pork registers 150 degrees F, about 40 minutes. Remove the pork to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest at least 15 minutes.
  • While the meat is resting, make the compote: Transfer 2 tablespoons fat from the roasting pan to a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and saute, stirring, 5 minutes. Add the apple, pear, dried cranberries, orange juice, cider, brown sugar, mustard and rosemary; add 1/2 teaspoon each salt and black pepper, and the cayenne. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the compote is soft and thick, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl. Carve the pork into individual chops and serve with the compote.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
Pinch ground cinnamon
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and 1-inch diced
1 (5-pound) center cut, bone-out pork loin, butterflied
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup apple cider

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and diced apples and toss to coat. Saute 3 minutes, without stirring to let the apples caramelize on 1 side. Toss and saute another 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
  • Butterfly the tenderloin by cutting the beef lengthwise down the center to within 1/2-inch of the other side. Flatten with a meat mallet.
  • When the caramel apples have cooled spread the mixture down the center flap of pork. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the apple mixture down the center of the pork roast. Bring the 2 sides of the tenderloin up around filling to meet. Use butcher string and tie around the roll at 1-inch intervals.
  • Season the stuffed and tied pork loin with salt and pepper. Sear the pork loin in vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, turning to get all the sides. Pour the apple cider over the pork. Roast uncovered for about 1 hour and 20 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers155 degrees F.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest, tented with foil, for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with pan juices.

Apples and pears are almost always popular, so this warm, comforting dessert recipe is great for potlucks or other get-togethers. I also like to add raisins or chopped nuts to the compote, and for a more adult flavor I add 1/3 cup brandy or rum.-Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

ROAST LOIN OF PORK WITH APPLE COMPOTE



Roast Loin of Pork with Apple Compote image

This delicious roast loin of pork recipe is courtesy of chef Curtis Stone.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bone-in pork loin roast (3 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons Maldon sea salt
2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh, coarsely chopped marjoram leaves
5 Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and each cut into 8 wedges
2 whole cloves
1/2 cup Calvados
2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
Curtis Stone's Honey-Glazed Carrots, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
  • Using a sharp knife, score fat that covers the top of pork. Rub pork fat with salt, garlic, and half of the marjoram leaves. Set a roasting rack in a heavy-bottomed roasting pan; set pork on rack. Transfer to oven and roast for 30 minutes.
  • Decrease oven temperature to 350 degrees, and continue roasting the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the pork reaches 140 degrees, about 45 minutes more. Transfer pork to a cutting board, keep warm, and let rest 30 minutes.
  • Pour any pan juices into a small bowl and whisk together with remaining marjoram; cover to keep warm and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat apples and cloves in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring, until apples begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add Calvados, continue stirring until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Cover, and continue cooking apples, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and most of the juices have evaporated, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove apple mixture from heat and, using a potato masher, coarsely mash apples. Stir in sugar, if using.
  • Thinly slice pork and drizzle over reserved pan juices and serve immediately with apples and carrots.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork rack. Look for a rack that is evenly marbled with fat and has a good layer of skin. This will help ensure that the pork is juicy and flavorful.
  • Prepare the pork rack properly. Remove the chine bone from the pork rack and score the skin. This will help the pork cook evenly and prevent it from curling up.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade will help to infuse the pork with flavor. You can use a variety of different marinades, but some popular options include olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
  • Cook the pork rack to the proper temperature. The internal temperature of the pork should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well done.
  • Let the pork rack rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork rack.

Conclusion:

Pork rack with pear and apple compote is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can create a pork rack that is juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give this pork rack recipe a try.
