My ex-mother-in-law lives in the South and has lots of pecan trees. She sends me bags of shelled pecans every year for Christmas. I found out how they make the roasted pecans at the fair. Even though they use big roasters, these turn out just as great.

Categories     Sandwich     Herb     Pork     Roast     Kwanzaa     Pecan

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds boneless loin of pork
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons powdered sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1/4 pound shelled pecan halves

Steps:

  • Rub the pork loin with olive oil, making sure that it is well covered. Combine the sage, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper and brown sugar in the bowl of a food processor or blender and pulse until you have a thick paste. You may have to add a drizzle of olive oil to get it started. Slather the paste all over the pork loin, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it over night.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the pecans in the bowl of a food processor or blender and pulse until they are finely chopped. Roll the pork loin in the crushed pecans and place it in a roasting pan. Make a tent of aluminum foil and arrange it over the pork loin, covering the nuts completely so they won't char.
  • Roast for 30 minutes; then lower the heat to 350 degrees and continue to roast. After 1 hour and 20 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and continue to roast until the pork is done, approximately 20 minutes more. Serve hot.

PECAN-ROASTED PORK



Pecan-Roasted Pork image

This recipe came from Publix via a friend of mine. I'm not a big pork fan - but this one was really good.

Provided by jeskatz

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

1/2 cup pecan pieces
1/2 cup French-fried onions
1 tablespoon light brown sugar

2 cups frozen sliced peaches
1 cup sweet onion and pepper relish
2 teaspoons light brown sugar

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork roast: For this recipe, a pork loin roast or pork shoulder roast is ideal. Pork loin is leaner and cooks more quickly, while pork shoulder is more flavorful and forgiving if overcooked.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, or try a more flavorful marinade such as orange-honey or pineapple-teriyaki.
  • Roast the pork uncovered: Roasting the pork uncovered allows the skin to crisp up and the fat to render out. This results in a juicy and flavorful roast.
  • Use a meat thermometer: A meat thermometer is the best way to ensure that the pork is cooked to the desired doneness. Pork is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork rest before carving: Letting the pork rest before carving allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

Conclusion:

Pecan roasted pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its crispy skin, juicy meat, and flavorful pecan sauce, this roast is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and impressive pork recipe, give pecan roasted pork a try. You won't be disappointed!
