Time 1h35m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (2.0-pound) boneless pork loin roast, tied
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for the parchment paper
3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh thyme or lemon thyme, divided

1/2 pound shallots (about 8), roughly chopped

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for serving
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1 clove garlic, minced, plus 2 whole heads garlic
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 large Bosc pears, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar

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.

ROAST PORK WITH PEAR SAUCE



Roast pork with pear sauce image

You know pork's good with apple sauce, but have you tried it with pears? The sauce is also good with game or duck

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Lunch, Main course

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2kg loin of pork , on the bone
2 tbsp sunflower oil
25g butter
4 ripe pears , peeled, cored and chopped into chunks
1 tbsp fennel seeds
150ml perry or dry cider
2 tbsp golden caster sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9. Dry the skin of the pork with kitchen paper, then rub with the oil and season generously with sea salt. Sit the pork in a roasting tin, then roast for 20 mins. Reduce the heat to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and continue to roast the pork for 1 hr 20 mins until cooked and skin has turned to crisp crackling. If the skin isn't crisp enough, turn the oven back up to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9 for a further 10 mins.
  • While the pork is roasting, make the pear sauce. Heat the butter in a saucepan and sizzle the pear chunks and fennel seeds together until they start to brown. Add the perry or cider and sugar. Bubble everything down until the perry is reduced and has become sticky and caramelised, and the pear is tender and starting to collapse. If the pears don't break down, use a potato masher to mash into a rough purée. Serve the sauce in a bowl alongside the pork with your favourite side dishes.

Tips for Making Roast Pork with Pears and Leeks:

  • Choose the right pork roast. A bone-in pork shoulder or pork butt roast is best for this recipe, as it will stay moist and tender during the long cooking time.
  • Season the pork roast well. Be generous with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, paprika, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Brown the pork roast before roasting. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to pears and leeks, you can also add carrots, celery, onions, or potatoes to the roasting pan.
  • Roast the pork roast at a low temperature. This will help to keep it moist and tender.
  • Baste the pork roast frequently. This will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the pork roast rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Roast pork with pears and leeks is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the pears and leeks add a touch of sweetness and complexity. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
