ROAST PORK LOIN WITH APPLESAUCE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 to 8 main course servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as soy, corn, or peanut
One 3-pound boneless center cut pork loin, trimmed and tied
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium onion, sliced
1 carrot, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
3 sprigs fresh sage
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 to 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced and chilled
About 4 cups applesauce, recipe follows
2 1/2 pounds tart red skinned apples, such as McIntosh
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper. Lay the loin, fat side down in the skillet, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Use tongs to turn the meat, and continue to brown it on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and set it aside.
  • Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and herb sprigs to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the wine. Return the skillet to a high heat and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up any browned bits. Boil the wine until it is reduced by about half. Add the broth and bring to a boil.
  • Return the loin and any collected juices to the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers between 145 to 150 degrees F., about 40 minutes. (See Cooks Note.)
  • Transfer the pork to a plate, and cover it loosely with foil. Set it aside in a warm spot while you make a sauce.
  • Strain the cooking liquid through a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepan; press down on the vegetables with a wooden spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Boil the liquid over high heat until reduced by about a third. Reduce the heat to medium-low, whisk in the mustard, and then the bits of butter to enrich the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm but do not boil.
  • Remove the strings from the roast and then slice the loin. Add any collected juices to the sauce. Arrange the meat on a warm platter and season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the meat. Serve with the applesauce on the side.
  • Remove the apple's stems. Coarsely chop the apples with their skin and seeds. Combine the apples, sugar, and lemon juice with 3 tablespoons of water in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Cover, and lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the apples are completely soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and continue to cook (stir frequently to prevent scorching) until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes more. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Pass the apple mixture through a food mill; discard the peels and seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate if not using immediately.

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH CIDER AND CHUNKY APPLESAUCE



Roasted Pork Loin with Cider and Chunky Applesauce image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves roughly chopped
2 sprigs fresh sage, leaves roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Pinch crushed red pepper
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 (6-chop) pork rib roast
2 large onions, sliced
1 bundle fresh thyme, tied with string
3 bay leaves
2 quarts apple cider, divided
Chunky Applesauce, recipe follows
3 tablespoons butter
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks (toss the apples in lemon juice if not using right away)
1 1/2 cups reserved cider from Roasted Pork Loin with Cider
1/4 cup apple cider
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a food processor, combine the chopped herbs with the garlic, crushed red pepper, a generous pinch of salt, and enough olive oil to make a paste. Brush the paste on the outside of the pork rib roast.
  • Toss the onions with olive oil and salt and place in the bottom of a roasting pan. Add the thyme, bay leaves, and two-thirds of the cider. Place the pork on top of the onions and place in the oven. Roast the pork until it has developed a lovely brown crust, 20 to 25 minutes. Check on the pork and stir the onions and cider if they are starting to burn. Add more cider when the level starts to go down.
  • Lower the oven to 375 degrees F and roast until an instant-read thermometer reads 150 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. If the crust on the pork starts to get too dark, cover it with foil. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the cider from the bottom of the roasting pan and reserve for the applesauce.
  • Let the pork rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. When ready to carve, remove the pork from the bone and cut the loin into thin slices. Serve with the onions braised in cider and Chunky Applesauce.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan large enough to accommodate the apples. Add the apples and saute over medium-low heat until the apples start to soften. Add the reserved cider, apple cider, and cinnamon and cook over medium-low heat until most of the cider has evaporated and the apples are cooked and very soft.
  • Add the heavy cream and walnuts and cook until the cream has reduced by half. The end result should be a very chunky, sweet/savory applesauce.

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH CIDER AND CHUNKY APPLESAUCE



Roasted Pork Loin With Cider and Chunky Applesauce image

This succulent bone-in pork loin uses a high heat method over liquid to seal in the juices, then cooks at lower heat to tender perfection before being cut off the bone for serving. The aromas of savory spices and onions mingle with apple cider to permeate the roast with amazing flavor, and it's finished with a side of chunky, sweet/savory apple sauce. A delicious recipe from Chef Anne Burrell.

Tips:

  • Choose a good quality pork loin: Look for a loin that is firm and has a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the pork is juicy and flavorful.
  • Sear the pork loin before roasting: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the pork while keeping the inside moist.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or rub: This will help to add flavor to the pork loin. You can use a variety of different marinade or rub recipes, depending on your preferences.
  • Roast the pork loin at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the pork while keeping the inside moist. Aim for a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  • Let the pork loin rest before carving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork loin.
  • Serve the pork loin with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for pork loin include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and apple sauce.

Conclusion:

Roasted pork loin with cider and chunky applesauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork loin is tender and juicy, the cider adds a sweet and tangy flavor, and the chunky applesauce provides a refreshing contrast. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
