Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 shallot, diced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup port wine
1/2 pound ripe fresh figs (about 8), stemmed and halved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Generously season pork with salt and pepper; brown on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat. Transfer skillet to oven, and continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of pork registers 145 degrees, 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate; tent loosely with aluminum foil (reserve skillet).
  • Place skillet over medium heat; add shallot, and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour; cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in port; cook until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Add figs; cook until warmed through, about 1 minute (adjust consistency of sauce with water if needed). Slice pork, and serve with figs and port sauce.

PORK LOIN WITH FIG AND PORT SAUCE

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups port
1 1/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
8 dried black Mission figs, coarsely chopped
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon salt, plus additional for seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, plus additional for seasoning
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1 (4 to 4 1/2-pound) boneless pork loin

Steps:

  • For the sauce: In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the first 6 ingredients. Boil over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Discard the herb sprigs and cinnamon sticks (some of the rosemary leaves will remain in the port mixture). Transfer the port mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Blend in the butter. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. (The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat before using.)
  • For the pork: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Stir the oil, rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a small bowl to blend. Place the pork loin in a heavy roasting pan. Spread the oil mixture over the pork to coat completely. Roast until an instant read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, turning the pork every 15 minutes to ensure even browning, about 45 minutes total.
  • Transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Let the pork rest 15 minutes. Meanwhile, stir the chicken broth into the roasting pan. Place the pan over medium heat, and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any browned bits. Bring the pan juices to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Using a large sharp knife, cut the pork crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the pork slices on plates. Spoon the jus over. Drizzle the warm fig sauce around and serve immediately.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FIG PORT SAUCE



Pork Tenderloin With Fig Port Sauce image

I saw they had fresh figs at the supermarket last week and they looked really good, I am not a big fan of figs by themselves, but I do think they can make a lovely addition to a sauce. I made this one and served it with pork on a sweet potato mash, it turned out really well. The pork weight is enough for three just up the weight for 4, the sauce amount should be enough for 4 servings.

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH FIG & PORT WINE SAUCE

Make and share this Pork Medallions With Fig & Port Wine Sauce recipe from Food.com.

Provided by seangcolman

Categories     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

16 small dried mission figs, stemmed
1 cup tawny port
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
fresh ground pepper
1 pork tenderloin, trimmed and sliced into 1-inch-thick medallions (1-1 1/4 pounds)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Place figs in a small microwavable bowl and cover with port. Cover the bowl and microwave on High for 3 minutes.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add broth, thyme, bay leaf and the fig-port mixture. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle both sides of pork medallions with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper and dredge lightly with flour, shaking off the excess.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the medallions and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add the reserved fig-port sauce; bring to a simmer and cook until the pork is cooked, but still a little pink in the center, about 2 minutes. The sauce should be syrupy. If not, remove the medallions with a slotted spoon to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Boil the sauce until its reduced and syrupy. Discard the bay leaf. Serve the sauce over the medallions.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork loin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 150°F (66°C) for medium, or 155°F (68°C) for medium-well.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork loin by cutting into the center. The meat should be slightly pink in the center for medium-rare, or cooked through with no pink for medium-well.
  • To prevent the pork loin from drying out, baste it with the fig and port sauce every 15-20 minutes during cooking.
  • If you don't have port wine, you can substitute red wine or chicken broth.
  • Serve the pork loin with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Pork loin with fig and port sauce is a flavorful and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The sweet and tangy sauce pairs perfectly with the tender pork loin, and the roasted figs add a touch of sweetness and complexity. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is easy enough to make for a weeknight meal.
