Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the pork all over with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil; add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board.
- Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the butter, thyme, parsley, rosemary and minced garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer the toasted breadcrumbs to a piece of wax paper or parchment.
- Brush the pork with the mustard and roll in the toasted breadcrumbs to coat. Return the coated pork to the center of the skillet. Halve the garlic heads crosswise, then add to a large bowl with the pears, onion, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Toss until evenly combined, then add to the skillet surrounding the pork. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Transfer the pork and garlic to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the skillet with the roasted pears and onions over medium-low heat. Add the vinegar and cook until almost all the vinegar has been absorbed and the pears look glossy, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with more chopped parsley. Slice the pork and serve with the roasted garlic, pears and onions.
PORK TENDERLOIN WITH CREAMY MARSALA SAUCE
Juicy pork tenderloin smothered in a Creamy Marsala Sauce with Mushrooms. It's like gravy - but even better because the sauce has beautiful layers of flavour in it from the Marsala. Using wine in cooking is how posh restaurants make such beautiful sauces! Use this Marsala Sauce for other proteins like chicken, veal and beef.

ROAST PORK WITH FIGS ONIONS AND MARSALA
A rather sweet pork roast. I like this a lot because not only is it delish, but it freezes quite well sliced in the juices. Another Boil-in-bag thing.

Steps:
- For the sauce: In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the first 6 ingredients. Boil over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Discard the herb sprigs and cinnamon sticks (some of the rosemary leaves will remain in the port mixture). Transfer the port mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Blend in the butter. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. (The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat before using.)
- For the pork: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Stir the oil, rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a small bowl to blend. Place the pork loin in a heavy roasting pan. Spread the oil mixture over the pork to coat completely. Roast until an instant read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, turning the pork every 15 minutes to ensure even browning, about 45 minutes total.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Let the pork rest 15 minutes. Meanwhile, stir the chicken broth into the roasting pan. Place the pan over medium heat, and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any browned bits. Bring the pan juices to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Using a large sharp knife, cut the pork crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the pork slices on plates. Spoon the jus over. Drizzle the warm fig sauce around and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Whisk flour, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl. Dredge tenderloins in the mixture until coated.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until butter has melted. Sear tenderloins in the skillet until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove tenderloins to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add mushrooms to the same skillet, adding more oil if needed. Cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a bowl and drain excess liquid from the skillet.
- Add onion and garlic to the skillet with more oil if needed. Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove and toss on top of the mushrooms. Turn off the heat.
- Pour 1/2 cup Marsala wine into the skillet and scrape any browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add brown gravy, beef broth, and onion-mushroom mixture. Add tenderloins and turn to coat all sides. The liquid should nearly cover the meat.
- Turn heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly pink in the center, about 30 minutes; the meat should be cooked through but not shredding apart. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- Remove tenderloins. Stir the sauce and add more wine if desired.
- Slice tenderloins and set on a platter. Pour Marsala sauce over top and serve.

Tips:
- Sear the pork shoulder over medium-high heat to create a flavorful crust that locks in the juices.
- Use a Dutch oven or large braising pan with a tight-fitting lid to ensure even cooking and prevent the pork from drying out.
- Add a cup of water or broth to the bottom of the Dutch oven to prevent the sauce from burning.
- Braising the pork shoulder for 2-3 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender, allows the flavors from the figs, onions, and Marsala wine to fully penetrate the meat.
- Serve the roast pork with a side of mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
