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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup pitted prunes, chopped
1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/4 cup brandy or apple brandy
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, chopped
1/2 Golden Delicious apple, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 3-pound boneless center-cut pork loin roast

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the raisins, prunes and apricots in a small bowl; pour in the brandy. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until hot, about 2 minutes. Set aside until the dried fruit is plump, at least 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and apple and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, sage, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the garlic is softened, about 1 minute. Add the dried fruit?brandy mixture and cook until the skillet is dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and simmer until the mixture is very soft and the skillet is almost dry, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Push the handle of a wooden spoon into the center of one end of the pork roast; work the handle through the length of the roast to create a tunnel, widening the tunnel with your fingers or a small paring knife until about 1 1/2 inches wide.
  • Stuff the dried fruit mixture into the tunnel, firmly pressing to make sure it?s packed into the pork roast. Rub the outside of the pork roast with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. If the pork has a skinny flap that runs along one side, tuck it under and tie kitchen twine around the pork in a few spots.
  • Set a rack in a large roasting pan. Place the pork on the rack and roast until golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Let the pork rest at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork loin. Look for a pork loin that is at least 1 1/2 pounds and has a good amount of fat marbling. This will help keep the pork moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Prepare the pork loin properly. Trim any excess fat from the pork loin and score the skin in a crisscross pattern. This will help the pork cook evenly and allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade for this recipe is made with a combination of spices, herbs, and fruit juices. Be sure to let the pork loin marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
  • Cook the pork loin to perfection. The pork loin should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the pork is cooked through but still juicy and tender.
  • Serve the pork loin with your favorite sides. This recipe pairs well with roasted pears and onions, mashed potatoes, and a green salad.

Conclusion:

This spicy fruit-stuffed pork loin is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork is tender and juicy, and the stuffing is bursting with flavor. The roasted pears and onions add a touch of sweetness and acidity that balance out the spiciness of the pork. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
