Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 1/2 navel oranges
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup sweet Marsala wine

Steps:

  • Squeeze enough juice from 1/2 orange to measure 2 tablespoons. Cut peel, including all white pith, from remaining 4 oranges with a sharp knife and discard, then cut oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Cook sugar in a dry small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel. Add juice and wine carefully (caramel will harden and steam vigorously). Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove sauce from heat.
  • Arrange orange slices, overlapping, in 4 shallow bowls and spoon sauce over fruit. Let macerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

Roast pork with Figs Onions and Marsala image

A rather sweet pork roast. I like this a lot because not only is it delish, but it freezes quite well sliced in the juices. Another Boil-in-bag thing.

Categories     Pork

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs pork tenderloin
12 dried black figs, approximately
1 cup marsala wine or 1 cup dark port wine (with a drap of Honey)
1/2 cup boiling onions
2 tablespoons oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon allspice
1 tablespoon sweet butter (optional)

Steps:

  • Soak the Figs in the Marsala at least an hour.
  • Put the Boiler Onions in warm water 20 min, skin cut off the root and stem,cut a X in the bottom.
  • Mix 1 TBS Oil, Salt, Pepper,& Allspice then rub the Pork let it stand half an hour.
  • Sear the rubbed pork in the rest of the oil.
  • Put everything but the butter in a coverable roasting pan.
  • Roast covered at 325F for an hour.
  • Uncover, drop the oven to 275F and continue roasting to an internal temp of 145F.
  • If you want a higher temp for safety do so but I feel 145F plus the 5+ rise after removal is sufficient.
  • Remove the meat to a plate.
  • Remove the most solid of the Figs and onions.
  • Put the liquid in a pot and degrease, I use paper towels.
  • Chech the seasoning.
  • Whisk in the butter to the hot liquid, I use my hand blender.
  • Slice and enjoy, figs and onions on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh figs. Look for figs that are plump and have a slight give when you press them. Avoid figs that are bruised or have any signs of mold.
  • Use a good quality Marsala wine. A dry or semi-dry Marsala will work best in this recipe. Avoid using a sweet Marsala, as it will make the dish too sweet.
  • Don't overcook the figs. Figs are delicate and can easily become mushy if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the figs warm or at room temperature. Figs can be served as a dessert or a side dish. If you are serving them as a dessert, you can top them with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Figs with Marsala and Orange is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet figs, rich Marsala wine, and tangy orange juice creates a flavor that is both unique and satisfying. This dish is sure to impress your guests, whether you are serving it as a dessert or a side dish.
