JAMIE'S EPIC ROAST PORK



Jamie's epic roast pork image

My classic British roast pork is turning up the dial with flavours of the great American South. I've buddied it up with peaches, pumpkin, bay leaves and bourbon for a transatlantic fusion that'll blow your mind. Featuring double crackling and thick, dirty gravy, this is one roast dinner you have to try.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 25

8-rib higher-welfare pork loin, chine bone removed (ask your butcher to remove the skin but hang onto it for amazing double crackling)
olive oil
2 kg small Maris Piper potatoes
8 small parsnips
bourbon
1 small pumpkin, (2kg)
FLAVOURED SALT
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 teaspoons black peppercorns
6 fresh bay leaves
1 lemon
1 sprig of fresh rosemary
1 sprig of fresh thyme
125 g Maldon sea salt
SAUCE
1 red onion
1 apple
1 pear
1 peach
GRAVY
1 red onion
200 g higher-welfare minced pork shoulder
2 tablespoons plain flour
1 heaped teaspoon wholegrain mustard
1 litre organic chicken stock

Steps:

  • Put the pork skin in the fridge, uncovered, to dry out while you cook the pork. You'll get double crackling - one from the pork joint and one from the skin.
  • Preheat the oven to 240°C/475°F/gas 9 (full whack).
  • To make the flavoured salt, place the fennel, peppercorns and bay in a pestle and mortar and smash the living daylights out of it. Peel in the lemon zest, then pick in the herbs and have another bash. Add the salt and bash again until fine (alternatively whiz in a blender).
  • Score the pork fat in a diamond pattern, then rub in 1 tablespoon of flavoured salt with a good drizzle of olive oil, massaging it into all the nooks and crannies.
  • Peel the potatoes and parboil in a large pan of salted boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes until softened. Drain and steam dry, then tip into a large baking tray.
  • Scrub, top and tail the parsnips and slot them in with the potatoes, then place the tray on the bottom shelf of the oven.
  • Place the pork directly on the bars of the oven above the potatoes and parsnips to catch all the tasty juices. Reduce the oven temperature to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 and cook for 1 hour 20 minutes.
  • For the sauce, place a large sheet of non-stick baking paper over a large sheet of tin foil. Place the onion, apple, pear and peach in the middle with a good lug of bourbon, then fold up the edges and twist to make a sealed 'money bag' parcel. Cook in the oven with the pork for 1 hour 10 minutes, or until soft.
  • Remove the pork, potatoes and fruit from the oven. Cover the pork with tin foil and leave to rest for at least 30 minutes while you make the crackling. Carefully drain the fat from the potatoes (cool and reserve for another day), and set aside.
  • Carefully remove the foil layer from the fruit parcel, then hold the paper bag over a bowl and pierce a hole in it with a sharp knife to release the juice. Squeeze any remaining juice from the fruit, then transfer to a chopping board, roughly chop (discarding the cores, pips and onion skin) and add to the bowl. Leave to cool, then cover and set aside until ready to serve.
  • Deseed and clank up the pumpkin into wedges, place into a baking tray and season with salt and pepper.
  • Turn the oven back up to full whack. Score the reserved pork skin in a zig-zag fashion and place directly on the bars of the oven. Put the pumpkin underneath and cook for 30 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  • To make the gravy, peel and roughly chop the onion, then fry with the minced pork in a large frying pan on a medium heat for 10 minutes, or until golden and soft. Stir in the flour and mustard, then add a good lug of bourbon and flambé, if you like. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until thick and delicious.
  • Remove the crackling and pumpkin from the oven. Drain the fat from the pumpkin and discard, then tip the pumpkin into the tray with the other roasted veg and return to the oven to warm through.
  • Slice up the ribs and carve the rest of the pork. Bring it all together at the table and serve with the veg, crackling and fruity sauce.

OVEN-ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH DRY RUB



Oven-Roasted Pork Loin With Dry Rub image

A highly rated recipe from All Recipes.com/submitted by branchan that I have tweaked just slightly I feel for the better! ---I also use this rub on boneless Boston butt roast that I roast in the oven and then slice, for a pork loin about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the rub should be enough although you may use more if desired --- the roast needs to marinate for a minimum of 6 hours or up to 24 hours in the fridge, then must sit out at room temperature for a couple hours before roasting, so plan well in advance, make certain to line your pan completely with foil, because of the brown sugar it will be very hard to clean, or use a heavy disposable foil pan.

DAD'S BASIC MOIST PORK ROAST



Dad's Basic Moist Pork Roast image

This is the best and most basic way to ensure a juicy, perfectly-cooked pork roast every time. This recipe really requires a good thermometer -- either a $10 instant-read type or, even better, the type that pierces the meat and stays in place while connected to an outside-the-oven monitor. If you can swing that, then try your favorite marinade or rub on this recipe. Use your imagination on the rubs and marinades, but ensure you bring your roast directly from the fridge to the roasting pan -- Dad's recipe works best that way.

FALL-APART ROASTED PORK SHOULDER WITH ROSEMARY, MUSTARD AND GARLIC



Fall-Apart Roasted Pork Shoulder with Rosemary, Mustard and Garlic image

A super tender slow cooked marinated pork shoulder or butt roast recipe that is amazing on its own, and also can be used in so many ways. One of my go-to dishes for casual crowd entertaining.

Provided by Katie Workman

Categories     Main Course

Time 8h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons chopped garlic
3 anchovies, (rinsed)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons coarse Dijon mustard
1 6-pound boneless pork shoulder (trimmed of excess fat and tied)

Steps:

  • In a small food processor combine the garlic, anchovies, rosemary, salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and process until it forms a paste, scraping down the sides. Remove the blade and use a fork or spoon to stir in the mustard. Rub the paste all over the pork shoulder, loosely cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate from 2 to 24 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and bring the pork to room temperature while the oven heats. Place the pork in a shallow roasting pan and roast, uncovered, for 30 minutes, until the top starts to brown a bit. Turn the heat down to 250°F and continue to cook, uncovered, for 6 to 8 hours until the middle of the roast registers 180°F. on an internal thermometer, and as you slide the thermometer in you can feel that the meat is very tender throughout. If there are juices in the pan (and I have found that sometimes there are and sometimes none) pour off the juices from the pan into a heatproof container, like a Pyrex measuring cup. Place this in the fridge, where the fat will rise to the top, while the meat rests.
  • When the meat is cooked, if you think that the outside of the roast could use a bit more crust/brownness, turn the heat back up to 450°F and let it cook for another 15 to 20 minutes, to give the outside a bit more of a crunchy texture.
  • Remove from the oven and let sit for about 20 minutes. Spoon the fat off the reserved juices in the fridge and pour the cooking juices into a serving pitcher or bowl (warm it a bit in the microwave or in a small pot if you like). Slice the pork as thinly or thickly as you like, knowing the meat will fall apart at least slightly. Sprinkle the sliced meat with a bit of salt before serving, and pass the pan juices on the side to drizzle over.

2 tablespoons spicy mustard or Creole mustard
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning or a seasoning salt blend
1 teaspoon dried leaf thyme (crumbled)
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary (crumbled)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 bone-in pork loin* roast, about 5 pounds
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with foil. Heat oven to 325 F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mustard, Creole seasoning, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and olive oil.
  • Pat the pork loin with paper towels to dry; trim and discard excess fat.
  • Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper. Rub the mustard mixture all over the roast. Place the pork, fat side up, in the prepared baking pan. Insert a meat thermometer in the center of the meat, not touching fat or bone. Alternatively, check the temperature of the pork occasionally with an instant-read thermometer.
  • Bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the pork registers at least 145 F to 150 F on a food thermometer.
  • Tent the pork loin roast loosely with foil and let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before carving.
  • Serve the pork roast with boiled, mashed, or baked potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts , cream-style corn , or steamed broccoli, and a side salad or coleslaw. *A pork loin may be called center-cut pork loin or pork center rib roast. A pork sirloin roast may be called pork loin end roast. The sirloin includes parts of the hip bone and backbone, so it might be more difficult to carve. If a boneless roast is used, allow about 20 to 25 minutes per pound.

ULTIMATE PORK ROAST RECIPE



Ultimate Pork Roast Recipe image

Make this juicy and tender pork roast recipe that's made in one pot complete with tons of veggies and gravy.

Provided by Emily Richter

Categories     Lunch and Dinner

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 lb. pork shoulder roast
1.5 tablespoons garlic powder
2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
6 medium russet potatoes (cut into large 1-inch chunks)
1 large yellow onion (diced)
6 large carrots (diced)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • First, preheat oven to 350ºF. Then, remove your pork shoulder from the packaging and use a paper towel to pat it dry. Place it on a large plate and set aside.
  • Next, mix together all of the spices (garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, coarse sea salt, ground pepper, cinnamon, and brown sugar) in a small bowl and then rub it on all sides of the pork shoulder. Let pork sit in the fridge while you prep the rest of the recipe.
  • Cut russet potatoes into 1-inch large chunks and dice a yellow onion and 6 large carrots into big pieces. Set aside.
  • In a large cast-iron stockpot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. When the olive oil is fragrant, sear all 4 sides of your pork shoulder for 2 minutes per side or until it begins to brown. Remove the pork shoulder and place it on a plate.
  • Pour a little of the broth onto the bottom of your hot stockpot, and use a wooden spoon to scrape off all the bits. Then, transfer all of the diced veggies onto the bottom of your stockpot and toss it in the broth and oil. Then, place the seared pork shoulder (fat-side up) on top of the veggies. Make sure to also transfer as much of the spice rub as possible that fell off the pork shoulder as that flavors the gravy.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the rest of the chicken broth, maple syrup, and Worchestershire sauce. Then, pour over the top of the pork shoulder.
  • Place stockpot into the oven, uncovered, and roast at 350ºF for 60 minutes. Then, remove from oven and measure the internal temperature of the pork. Continue cooking in increments of 10 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145ºF. Our 3 lb. pork shoulder took around 75-80 minutes.
  • Remove pork roast from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. During this time, the pork will continue to cook 5-10 degrees.
  • Toss the roasted veggies in the gravy that is in the pot so that the veggies are nice and coated with amazing flavor.
  • Serve pork roast sliced and with veggies and extra gravy.

Provided by Christine Pittman

Categories     Entrée

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

a boneless or bone in pork butt or pork shoulder (4-8 pounds is ideal)
1 and 1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 and 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
low or no-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Take your pork roast out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour. Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • If your pork roast has a thick layer of fat on the outside, cut about half of it away so that it's a thinner layer. You can throw this out. Or, the best thing to do, is to turn it into a snack to have while your pork is roasting. Put the fat that you removed from the roast in a single layer on its own cake pan. Use a pan with edges because a lot of hot fatty liquid is going to come out of it. Season it lightly with salt. Roast the layer of fat in the 300F oven until it's brown and very crispy. Check it often. Blot it on kitchen towel. Break it into pieces and offer it as nibbles to anyone who is lured into your kitchen by the roasting pork smells.
  • Meanwhile, mix the pepper, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl and then sprinkle liberally all over the roast.
  • Put the roast in a large roasting pan, fat-side-up. You do not need to use a rack in the pan.
  • Add about half an inch of low or no-sodium chicken broth to the bottom of the pan. Put it into the oven, uncovered.
  • Cook for 40 minutes per pound or until an instant read thermometer reaches 180F. This may seem high for pork but your goal is really tender, slow-cooked pork, almost like the texture of pulled pork.
  • If at any point most of the broth has evaporated, add more. Add enough to cover any brownings on the side of the pan from where the previous broth evaporated away. This will dissolve those brownings and flavor your gravy.
  • Take the roast out of the oven. Transfer it to a plate so that you can get at the roasting pan and make your gravy. Let the roast rest for 30-40 minutes. This is important because this is the only time the roast will rest. The roast does not need to be covered during resting time. Use this time to make your gravy. (Here's how to make gravy using the flavorful broth from the bottom of the roasting pan) and to finish off your other side dishes and set the table.
  • Preheat the oven to 475F.
  • Once the roast has rested, and the oven has preheated, and once you have everything else for your dinner just about ready, put the roast into a clean roasting pan or onto a baking sheet, uncovered, and put it into the hot oven for 13-17 minutes. You want the outside to get nice and brown.
  • When it's really nice and browned, take the roast out of the oven and immediately carve it* and serve it. Do not let it rest now since it has already rested.
