The recipe for Spiced Rhubarb's been in my family for years-it was handed down to me by my mother, who got it many decades ago from her mother. This dish is good either hot or cold...with a meal (it's delicious alongside pork or lamb) or just plain. I even like to spread it on my breakfast toast! As for me, I'm a country girl. I was born in the country, and I'm still here.

Roast Pork With Spiced Rhubarb image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, weekday, roasts, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small boneless pork loin roast, about 2 1/2 pounds
4 cloves garlic, peeled and slivered
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 cup brewed black tea, not too strong
1 1/2 pounds rhubarb, diced
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup honey or to taste
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make small slits in the pork and insert slivers of garlic in the slits. Put an oven-proof casserole large enough to hold the pork roast over medium heat. When it is hot, put the pork in it and lightly brown the pork on all sides. Remove the roast from the casserole.
  • Add the onion and ginger to the casserole and brown them lightly. Stir in one-half cup of the tea, scraping the bottom of the pan, then stir in the rhubarb, cardamom, pepper, cloves and honey. Season with a little salt.
  • Return the pork to the casserole, cover and bake until the pork is medium-well done, with just a trace of pink in the center, about 45 minutes. It should register about 155 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.
  • Remove the pork from the pan. It should rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. Put the pan on top of the stove and gently heat the rhubarb mixture. Taste for seasoning, adding salt to taste and a little more honey, if desired. If the rhubarb is not moist enough, stir in some additional tea.
  • To serve, mound rhubarb in center of a platter. Slice pork and arrange slices, slightly overlapping, around the rhubarb. Serve at once.
