Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup white sugar
2 pounds pork spareribs, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 green onions, cut in 2-inch lengths
1 green chile pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 shallots, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt to taste
1 teaspoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil
1 tablespoon green onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings

Steps:

  • Place a large heavy skillet or wok over high heat, drizzle the oil into the pan, and pour the sugar over the oil. Cook and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and turns a light brown color. Be careful, the melted sugar is very hot. Stir in the pork, 2 green onions, chile pepper, black pepper, shallots, garlic, and salt, and toss them in the caramelized sugar until the pork turns golden brown. Drizzle the sesame oil over the pork and vegetables, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer to reduce the juices.
  • When the juices have been mostly absorbed, turn the heat back up to high, and cook and stir the pork and vegetables until the sauce has thickened and coated the pork, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of green onion rings.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
Pinch ground cinnamon
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and 1-inch diced
1 (5-pound) center cut, bone-out pork loin, butterflied
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup apple cider

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and diced apples and toss to coat. Saute 3 minutes, without stirring to let the apples caramelize on 1 side. Toss and saute another 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
  • Butterfly the tenderloin by cutting the beef lengthwise down the center to within 1/2-inch of the other side. Flatten with a meat mallet.
  • When the caramel apples have cooled spread the mixture down the center flap of pork. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the apple mixture down the center of the pork roast. Bring the 2 sides of the tenderloin up around filling to meet. Use butcher string and tie around the roll at 1-inch intervals.
  • Season the stuffed and tied pork loin with salt and pepper. Sear the pork loin in vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, turning to get all the sides. Pour the apple cider over the pork. Roast uncovered for about 1 hour and 20 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers155 degrees F.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest, tented with foil, for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with pan juices.

Provided by Theresa Thunderbird

Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb pork tenderloin
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon molasses or 1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Cut pork into 1/2 inch slices.
  • Spray 10 inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray,heat over medium hight heat.
  • Cook pork and garlic in skillet 8-10 minutes,turning occasionally.
  • Drain if necessary.
  • Stir in remaning ingredients.
  • Cook about 2-5 minutes,stirring occasionally until mixture thickens and coats pork.

Tips:

  • Select the right pork rinds. Look for pork rinds that are made from high-quality pork and are not too thick or too thin. Avoid pork rinds that are coated in a lot of breading or seasoning, as this can make them difficult to caramelize.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven. You need a large enough pan to hold all of the pork rinds in a single layer. If you use a pan that is too small, the pork rinds will crowd each other and will not caramelize evenly.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when you add the pork rinds, but not so hot that it smokes. If the oil is too hot, the pork rinds will burn.
  • Add the pork rinds to the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the pork rinds will not cook evenly. If necessary, cook the pork rinds in batches.
  • Stir the pork rinds frequently. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together. Be careful not to stir too much, or the pork rinds will break apart.
  • Cook the pork rinds until they are golden brown and caramelized. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork rinds from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Serve the pork rinds immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own, or used as a topping for salads, soups, or other dishes.

Conclusion:

Caramelized pork rinds are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of seasonings. Whether you like them plain or seasoned, caramelized pork rinds are a great way to satisfy your cravings for something crunchy and flavorful.
