BOURBON AND DRIED PLUM STUFFED PORK LOIN
This is a technique I learned years ago from Chef John Fleer at a Great Chefs of the South event in Beaufort, South Carolina. He mesmerized the entire crowd with this demonstration, including us fellow chefs standing in the back. He used a different stuffing in his, but I love the way the bourbon and dried plums complement the pork. I will never forget how he convinced all of us that it was okay to roast the pork with plastic wrap still inside -- until his big reveal for extracting the wrap and leaving the stuffing magically inside!

Steps:
- For the filling: Combine the bourbon and dried plums in a small bowl and set aside.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large saute pan. Add the onions and some salt and pepper to taste; cook, stirring, over medium heat until very tender but not browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic powder, rosemary and cumin and cook 30 seconds more.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the dried plums and bourbon. Carefully return the pan to the heat and cook until reduced by half. Stir in the remaining tablespoon butter. Remove the pan from the heat and add the breadcrumbs. Stir well to incorporate, then set aside to cool to room temperature.
- For the pork loin: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and mix well to combine. Rub the mixture all over the pork loin and place on a cutting board with the fat side facing up. Starting on one side of the loin, insert a paring knife or thin fillet knife through the cut side of the loin toward the center of the meat, keeping both your knife and the meat centered. (You are trying to create a hole through the center of the loin while keeping the entire roast intact, like a tunnel.) If your knife is not long enough to reach all the way through the loin, make the same cut from the opposite end of the loin to connect the two cuts.
- Lay a sheet of plastic wrap out on the cutting board. Arrange the stuffing in the center of the plastic wrap. Shape the stuffing so that it lays in a narrow rectangle, the same length as the pork loin. Tightly wrap the stuffing in the plastic wrap, maintaining the shape. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap to tighten the shape and tie a knot at each end as close to the stuffing as possible.
- Insert a metal skewer with a looped end through the hole in the pork loin. Tie one end of the plastic wrap around the loop and use it to pull the stuffing into the center of the pork loin.
- When the stuffing is centered, cut the knot off one end of the plastic wrap. Pull the plastic wrap from the other end while squeezing to extract the stuffing. As you pinch and pull, the plastic wrap should come out, leaving the stuffing behind inside the pork loin.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and place the pork loin fat-side down on top. Roast the pork loin, 25 minutes. Flip the pork loin so that the fat side is now facing up. Cook until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork loin registers 140 degrees F, about 20 minutes more. Transfer the pork loin to a rack to rest. (The internal temperature should reach a minimum of 145 degrees F as it rests.)
- Slice into 1/2-inch thick and drizzle with good-quality olive oil before serving.

Steps:
- Cut the pork into big pieces about the length of your thumb and twice as wide. Put into a bowl or food bag, and add the wine, soy sauces, half the ginger, half the garlic and half the chilli. Marinate for at least 1 hr or up to 24 hrs.
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3, then heat the oil in a large casserole. Tip in half the spring onions, remaining ginger and garlic, the star anise, five-spice powder and cinnamon. Fry gently until fragrant and soft. Stir in the sugar, turn up the heat, then lift the pork from the marinade and turn in the oniony mix for about 3 mins until the meat is just sealed but not browned. Tip in the marinade, tomato purée and stock, give it a stir, cover, then braise in the oven for 2 hrs.
- After the first hr is up, add the plums to the pan. Take the lid off and carry on the cooking, uncovered. The meat should be completely tender, turning golden brown where it breaks the surface of the sauce. Spoon off any excess fat from the surface, then scoop the meat and plums carefully from the pan with a slotted spoon. Turn up the heat and boil the sauce for 5-10 mins until reduced and slightly syrupy. Return everything to the pan, gently warm through, then scatter the rest of the spring onions over the top to serve.

ROASTED SPICED PORK LOIN WRAPS WITH CRISPY PLUM SALSA
Steps:
- Mix all the ingredients for the pork loin marinade. Cover and leave to chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. In the meantime, prepare the plum salsa. Slice the plum into small wedges. Combine all the rest of the salsa ingredients in a glass bowl and add the plum wedges. Leave to chill until required. 20 minutes before serving, remove the pork for the fridge and bring back to room temperature. Heat a wide frying pan, adding 1 tbs olive oil to heat until hot but not smoking. Place the pork loins into the oil, turning round regularly to sear and brown all over. Lower the heat, add the remaining marinade from the bowl, cover and lower the heat to medium. Cook, turning occasionally for even cooking, basting with the marinade for around 12 minutes. Every 2 â" 3 minutes, add a splash of water, so the marinade does not dry and burn. You want to keep it a thick marinade at all times and avoid burning it on the bottom of the saucepan. Remove the meat from the pan and let it rest on a clean chopping board, covered with foil paper. Keep the leftover marinade juices from the pan. Now for the assembly. Gently heat one wrap and cut into quarters. Wrap in a soft cloth and heat in the microwave for 40 seconds or so until slightly softened. Donât heat them too long as they will get hard. You want them soft enough to fold. Add 2 tbs cranberry sauce and ½ cup water to the remaining marinade sauces from the pan. Heat until slightly thickened for 2 minutes. Slice each pork loin into approximately 10 thin slices each. Spread 1 tsp of the sauce onto a wrap triangle. Place one slice of pork on the sauce. Top with a heaped teaspoon of plum salsa. Finish by bringing the two opposing sides of the wrap together, securing with a nice bamboo style cocktail stick or regular toothpick. Place your wraps on a large rustic platter, with a heap of the leftover plum salsa on the side with a small bowl of the remaining dipping sauce. Watch how quick these get devoured!

MOROCCAN SPICED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH DRIED PLUMS
Dried Plums sounds so much nicer than prunes doesn't it. The way the flavors come together in this dish is really lovely. There is a misconception that Moroccan cuisine does not include pork. Morocco is home to Muslims who do not eat pork, and Christians who do cook with pork however.

Steps:
- For plum chutney:
- Peel plums, if desired. Halve and pit. Cut into 1/2" wedges.
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallot begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add brown sugar, next 6 ingredients, and 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in plums. Cover and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until fruit is soft and juices have thickened, 20-25 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Let cool slightly. DO AHEAD: Chutney can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm slightly before serving.
- For pork:
- Stir rosemary, herbes de Provence, and oil in a small bowl. Rub all over pork; season with salt and pepper. Wrap pancetta slices around pork and tie at 2" intervals with kitchen twine to hold together. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
- If using a charcoal grill, build a medium-hot fire; push coals over to 1 side of grill. If using a gas grill, heat all but 1 burner to high. Grill tenderloins over hot part of grill, turning frequently, until a crisp brown crust forms on all sides, 8-10 minutes. Move tenderloins to cooler part of grill to gently cook through; cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of each loin registers 145°F, 15-20 minutes longer.
- Transfer tenderloins to a cutting board. Let rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly and serve with plum chutney alongside.
Tips:
- To ensure the pork loin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit (68 degrees Celsius) for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) for well-done.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the pork loin is cooked by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the meat. If the juices run clear, the pork loin is done.
- Let the pork loin rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meat more tender.
- You can use a variety of plums for this recipe, such as black plums, red plums, or yellow plums. If you're using a tart variety of plum, you may want to add a little bit of sugar to the sauce.
- Spiced pork loin with plums is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
Conclusion:
Spiced pork loin with plums is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork loin is tender and juicy, and the plums add a sweet and tart flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
