Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For pork
1/3 cup coriander seeds
1 1/2 cups fine dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 lb center-cut boneless pork loin roast, butterflied
For chile cilantro sauce
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup caribe* (crushed New Mexico red chiles)
1 cup honey
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
*Available at specialty foods shops or by mail order from The Chile Shop (505-983-6080).
Special Equipment
kitchen string

Steps:

  • Prepare pork loin:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Coarsely crush coriander seeds with a mortar and pestle or an electric coffee/spice grinder, then stir together with bread crumbs, oil, pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Turn pork so a long side is closest to you and season with salt and pepper. Pat one third of seasoned crumbs onto pork, leaving a 2-inch border along top edge. Starting with side nearest you, roll meat into a cylinder and tie securely with kitchen string. Coat pork with remaining crumbs.
  • Roast pork on a rack in a roasting pan in middle of oven 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer diagonally inserted at least 2 inches into meat registers 155°F, 1 to 1 1/4 hours more. Let pork stand, loosely covered, 10 minutes.
  • Make sauce while pork roasts:
  • Simmer bell pepper, caribe, honey, lime juice, and salt in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Cool sauce to warm or room temperature, then stir in cilantro just before serving.
  • Slice pork and serve with sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Use a combination of sweet and spicy peppers to achieve the desired flavor balance. Some good options include red bell peppers, poblanos, and serranos. If you prefer a milder sauce, use more sweet peppers and fewer spicy peppers.
  • Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and smokiness. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill. Once roasted, remove the skins and seeds.
  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple adds a bright, tropical flavor to the sauce. Be sure to peel and core the pineapple before using it.
  • Add a touch of vinegar: Vinegar helps to balance the sweetness of the peppers and pineapple. You can use rice vinegar, white vinegar, or apple cider vinegar.
  • Season to taste: Once you've combined all of the ingredients, taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more sugar, vinegar, or salt.

Conclusion:

Chile sweet and sour sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes, from chicken and fish to tofu and vegetables. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting sauce to try, give this one a try!
