Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 6- to 7-pound 8-rib bone-in center cut pork loin, chine bone removed, frenched
2 carrots, halved lengthwise
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups pomegranate juice
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard

Steps:

  • Remove the pork roast from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the rack on the lower middle section of the oven.
  • Place the carrot halves on the bottom of a small roasting pan and set aside.
  • Trim off any thick areas of fat from the roast. Make shallow slits about 1 inch apart in a crosshatch on the meat of the roast. Mix together the cinnamon, cloves and 1 tablespoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the roast and rub to coat. Place the roast on the carrots and add 1/2 cup water to the pan. Roast for 1 hour, adding another 1/2 cup water if the pan gets dry.
  • Meanwhile, combine the pomegranate juice and thyme in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and reduce by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in the maple syrup and mustard and continue to reduce until slightly thickened, another 3 to 4 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remove and discard the thyme.
  • Baste the meat with the pomegranate mixture and roast until the internal temperature reaches 120 degrees F, another 30 minutes. Remove the roast from the oven and turn the oven up to 450 degrees F.
  • Baste the roast again with the pomegranate mixture. Return the roast to the hot oven for an additional 20 minutes, basting with the pomegranate sauce every 5 to 10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F and the roast is evenly glazed. Remove the roast to a platter to rest for 10 minutes. Add any juices from the pan to the sauce and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir to combine. Slice the roast and serve with the sauce on the side.

BLUEBERRY POMEGRANATE-TARRAGON MARINATED PORK CHOPS



Blueberry Pomegranate-Tarragon Marinated Pork Chops image

Nick Stellino recipe that I copied from the newspaper. I do not see this recipe at his web site though. I have increased the tarragon. Preparation includes marinading time. Very healthy for a meat dish. I think this recipe would be good for chicken breasts also. RZ does not recognize this new vinegar by Pompeian who sells it. If you cannot buy the vinegar, try Recipe#379227.

Looking for the juiciest pork chop marinade recipe? This is it! Simple ingredients come together to make flavorful pork chops that everyone will love.

Provided by Camille Beckstrand

¾ cup vegetable oil

¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard

Steps:

  • In a gallon-sized resealable bag, combine oil, soy sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Dijon, salt, pepper, parsley and garlic.

Tips:

  • Use a meat mallet to tenderize the pork chops before marinating them. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat more deeply and result in a more flavorful chop.
  • Don't marinate the pork chops for more than 24 hours. Over-marinating can make the meat tough.
  • When grilling the pork chops, cook them over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and result in a more tender chop.

Conclusion:

Pomegranate marinated pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The marinade, made with pomegranate juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs, infuses the pork chops with flavor and helps to keep them moist during cooking. Grilled or pan-fried, these pork chops are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
