JUICY HERBED PORK LOIN WITH CURRANT SAUCE



Juicy Herbed Pork Loin With Currant Sauce image

This delicious recipe is actually a combination of three different recipes, with a unique cooking method to keep the loin juicy. When my husband bought a 12 pound pork loin (because it was "on sale"), I panicked! I didn't have much experience cooking pork loin, and I knew that they can come out tough and tasteless if cooked improperly. I cut the loin into three 4-pound portions and threw them in the freezer, while I scoured the internet and cook books for a recipe and cooking directions. Now, this recipe is a family favorite! This would be wonderful for a holiday meal, or anytime you want to create something that will "wow" your family!

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 22

Pork
12 cardamom pods
12 juniper berries
1/2 navel orange, peeled, cut into pieces
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup olive oil
3 whole cloves
3 cinnamon sticks, broken into pieces
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 6-pound center-cut pork rib roast with 8 to 10 bones
Sauce
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups dry red wine
1 1/2 cups pitted prunes (about 10 ounces)
3/4 cup prune juice
1/2 cup brandy
3 cinnamon sticks
3 bay leaves
1/2 cup red currant jelly

Steps:

  • For pork:
  • Combine first 10 ingredients in blender. Blend until spices are finely ground, about 2 minutes. Place pork in large glass baking dish. Pour marinade over pork; turn to coat. Arrange bone side up, tent loosely with foil and refrigerate at least 12 hours or overnight.
  • For sauce:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Scrape marinade from pork. Pat pork dry with paper towels. Sprinkle pork generously with 1/2 teaspoon cardamom, salt and pepper. Heat oil in large roasting pan set over 2 burners on medium heat. Add pork and cook until brown, turning occasionally, about 4 minutes.
  • Add wine, prunes, prune juice, brandy, cinnamon sticks and bay leaves to pan. Transfer to oven. Roast uncovered until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of pork registers 160°F, basting often with pan juices, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Transfer pork and prunes to platter.

Add jelly and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cardamom. Simmer until jelly melts and sauce lightly coats spoon, about 8 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve pork with sauce.

Tips:

  • For the perfect pork loin, choose a roast that is at least 3 inches thick and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Sear the pork loin over high heat to create a flavorful crust. This will help to lock in the juices and prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Roast the pork loin in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork loin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
  • The currant sauce is a great way to add a sweet and tangy flavor to the pork loin. To make the sauce, simply combine currants, orange juice, chicken broth, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

Conclusion:

Pork loin with currant sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork loin is juicy and tender, and the currant sauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the pork loin with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad. Enjoy!
