• Stir thyme into onion mixture; place tenderloin over onion mixture, and set plum quarters, skin-side down, around pork tenderloin. Transfer skillet to preheated oven.
• Cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork and plums to a plate.
• Place skillet over medium-high heat and pour water and balsamic vinegar into onion mixture. Bring mixture to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook and stir until liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes; remove from heat.

• Drizzle 1/3 cup of the reserved marinade over the pork, coating all the sides. Set the remaining 1/3 cup marinade aside to serve as a sauce. Scatter the potatoes and carrots evenly around the pork.

• While the pork is resting, heat the remaining marinade in the small saucepan.
• Slice the pork and drizzle with the warm marinade.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500˚. Place the cabbage on a baking sheet, leaving room for the pork. Brush the cabbage all over with the melted butter; season with salt and pepper. Roast 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rub the pork with salt, pepper and the coriander. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, until browned all over, 8 minutes (reduce the heat if the pork is getting too dark). Transfer the pork to the baking sheet with the cabbage; reserve the skillet. Roast the pork and cabbage together until a thermometer inserted in the center of the pork registers 145˚, 13 to 15 minutes; transfer to a cutting board. Continue roasting the cabbage until browned, 5 to 10 more minutes.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika and stir until toasted, 30 seconds.

PAN-ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES AND BOURBON

Steps:

• Slice the pork tenderloin into 6 to 7 medallions that are 1/2-to 3/4-inch thick, depending on the shape of the tenderloin.
• Combine the salt, coriander, fennel and pepper in a small bowl and mix well.
• Spread the sliced pork medallions on a plate or baking sheet and season evenly on both sides with the salt mixture (you may not use it all).
• Spread the flour on plate. Dip each of the pork medallions in the flour and pat off any of the excess.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook the pork medallions in batches, adding more oil and butter as needed, browning them well on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove to a rack to rest. It's ok if the pork is not cooked all the way through at this stage, it will finish cooking in the sauce.
• When all the pork has been browned, pour off the fat in the pan into a small bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon butter and melt over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, thyme sprigs and some salt to the pan and cook until the shallots are softened and starting to get a little color, about 1 minute. Then add the apples and saute, stirring occasionally and adding more butter if necessary, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Remove the pan from the heat, add the bourbon and stir to cook off some of the alcohol. Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring, until reduced by half. Remove the thyme sprigs. Return the pork to the pan along with the chicken stock and season with salt. Simmer until well thickened and reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon the pork and apples onto plates and drizzle with the sauce.

PAN-ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WILD BOAR-STYLE WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a deep rectangular or oval dish that can contain the meat and all the other ingredients except for the mushrooms, combine the pork tenderloin, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, onion, garlic, bay leaves, celery, rosemary, and red wine. Turn the meat over several times to coat it well, then cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Take it out occasionally whenever convenient to turn the pork over, basting it with its marinade.
• The following day, take the meat out of the refrigerator at least 1 hour before proceeding with the preparation of the dish. Turn it over and baste it when you take it out of the refrigerator, and once every half hour thereafter.
• Detach the mushroom caps from the stems, discarding the stems. Wash the caps quickly in running cold water without letting them soak. Pat them dry gently but thoroughly with a cloth towel, and cut them into thin slices.
• Lift the tenderloin out of the deep dish, pick out any bits of the vegetables from the marinade that may be sticking to it, and pat the meat dry with kitchen towels.
• In a skillet that can accommodate the two pieces of pork without overlapping, put in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and turn the heat to high. When the oil is hot enough to sizzle when you put in the meat, slip in both pieces. Turn the meat over to brown it evenly all around, then transfer it to a platter.
• Pour all the marinade from the deep dish into the skillet, turn the heat down to low, and cover the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the vegetables are very soft or almost dissolved.
• While the marinade is cooking, put 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet, turn the heat to medium, and add the sliced shiitake caps with some salt. Cook, turning the mushrooms over occasionally, until the liquid they shed evaporates completely and they have become very tender.
• When the vegetables of the marinade are very soft, add the cooked shiitake mushrooms, cooking them together for about a minute or two. Add both pieces of pork, sprinkling them with salt and several grindings of black pepper, and raise the heat to high. Cook the meat for 10 minutes on each side.
• Transfer the meat onto a cutting board, cut into slices 1/3-inch thick, and place slices on a very warm serving platter. Remove the bay leaves from the marinade -- and the garlic cloves, if you can find them -- then cover the meat with the cooked marinade and mushrooms and serve at once.
• Ahead-of-time note: When the overnight marinating of the meat is complete, it would be desirable to proceed at once through all the succeeding steps, but if you wish you can stop a few hours in advance right after the shiitake mushrooms and cooked-down marinade have been combined. Cook the meat, however, only when ready to serve, because it may dry out and become stringy if reheated.
