Hearty Roasted Pork Loin & Vegetables Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: pork loin, olive oil, kosher salt, McCormick® Hearty Spice Blend, brussels sprouts, butternut squash, large red onion

Provided by Gwenaelle Le Cochennec

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pork loin, 3 pound (1.3 kilograms)
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons McCormick® Hearty Spice Blend, divided
3 cups brussels sprouts, (about 12 ounces) ends trimmed and halved lengthwise
3 cups butternut squash, (about 12 ounces-360 grams), cut into ½-inch (1.24 cm) pieces
1 large red onion, cut into 1 in (2.54 cm) pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Using a sharp knife, score the fat cap of the pork loin in a crosshatch pattern. Do not cut through to the meat.
  • Using your hands, rub 2 tablespoon olive oil all over the pork. Liberally season all over with 1 tablespoon salt, plus more as needed. Rub 2 tablespoons of the McCormick® Savoury Spice Blend all over the pork.
  • Transfer the pork to a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes, until the fat is beginning to render and brown.
  • Meanwhile in a large bowl add the Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, and red onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 tablespoon McCormick® Savoury Spice Blend and toss to coat.
  • Remove the pork from the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  • Evenly spread the vegetables on the baking sheet, turning the Brussels sprouts cut-side down. Clear a space in the center of the pan, then return the pork to the pan. It is okay if some of the vegetables are underneath the pork.
  • Return to the oven and cook for 35-50 minutes, depending on the size of the pork loin, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving the pork and serving with the vegetables.
  • Enjoy!

GERALD STAVELY'S PORK AND BEANS



Gerald Stavely's Pork And Beans image

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 3h30m

Yield About 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds pinto beans
3/4 pound salt pork
2 large onions, diced
Black pepper to taste
Crushed hot red-pepper flakes to taste
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Cover the beans in water and soak them overnight.
  • Place the salt pork in a large, heavy-bottomed pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, and boil for 15 minutes, to remove some of the fat. Drain and cut into quarter-inch-thick slices.
  • Drain the beans. Return the salt pork and the drained beans to the heavy-bottomed pot along with the onions, black pepper and red-pepper flakes and salt to taste. Cover well with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for three hours, until the beans are soft and the salt pork is tender. Remove the salt pork and serve the beans.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for this recipe. It's a tough cut of meat, but it becomes tender when cooked slowly. You can also use pork tenderloin, but it will cook more quickly.
  • Brown the pork before cooking: Browning the pork before cooking adds flavor and helps to create a crispy crust. You can brown the pork in a skillet or in the slow cooker.
  • Add plenty of liquid: Pork and beans need a lot of liquid to cook properly. You can use water, broth, or tomato sauce. You can also add beer or wine for extra flavor.
  • Simmer the pork and beans until tender: Pork and beans need to simmer for at least 2 hours, or until the pork is tender and the beans are soft. You can simmer them in a slow cooker or on the stovetop.
  • Season the pork and beans to taste: Pork and beans can be seasoned with a variety of spices, such as salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and cumin. You can also add a bit of sweetness with brown sugar or maple syrup.

Conclusion:

Pork and beans is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and delicious to eat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a hearty and flavorful pork and beans dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give pork and beans a try. You won't be disappointed.
