Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For stuffing:
1/4 pound California dried apricots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 pound pitted prunes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2/3 cup ruby Port
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 small shallot, finely chopped
3/4 stick unsalted butter
1 tart apple such as Granny Smith, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
For roast:
1 (6-pound) bone-in pork loin roast (10 ribs), frenched, at room temperature 1 hour
9 or 10 bacon slices
For port sauce:
1/2 cup ruby Port
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups water, divided
2 teaspoons arrowroot

Steps:

  • Make stuffing:
  • Simmer apricots, prunes, and Port in a small heavy saucepan, covered, 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Cook onion and shallot in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add apple and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until apple is just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in apricot mixture and cool.
  • Stuff and roast pork:
  • Preheat oven to 500°F with rack in middle.
  • Make a pocket in center of roast by making a horizontal 1 1/2-inch-wide cut into 1 end of roast with a long thin knife, repeating from opposite end so pocket runs all the way through. Then make a vertical cut through center (forming a cross) to widen pocket. Push about 1 cup stuffing into pocket using a long-handled wooden spoon (you may need to stuff from both sides if roast is long). Reserve remaining stuffing for sauce.
  • Season roast with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and put in a large flameproof roasting pan. Wrap with bacon, between rib bones, tucking ends under roast. Roast pork 20 minutes, then reduce oven to 325°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted 2 inches into center of roast (do not touch bone or stuffing) registers 155°F, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours total.
  • Transfer roast to a cutting board, reserving pan, and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature of meat will rise to about 160°F; meat will be slightly pink.)
  • Make sauce:
  • Skim fat from pan drippings and reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons fat. Straddle pan across 2 burners and add Port to drippings, then deglaze pan by boiling over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Strain pan juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids.
  • Cook shallot in reserved fat in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in pan juices, 1 1/4 cups water, and reserved fruit stuffing and bring to a simmer. Whisk together arrowroot and remaining 1/4 cup water until smooth, then whisk into sauce with any juices from cutting board.
  • Simmer sauce, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Carve roast into chops by cutting between ribs, then serve with sauce.

Pork Shoulder Pot Roast with Winter Vegetables image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Time 12h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

Kosher salt
One 3- to 4-pound boneless pork shoulder
1/3 pound pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
2 sprigs plus 6 leaves fresh sage
6 cloves garlic
2 carrots, peeled and cut into large dice
1 rutabaga, peeled and cut into large dice
1 turnip, peeled and cut into large dice
1 large yellow onion, quartered
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon miso paste
1 sprig fresh rosemary
Two 12-ounce bottles dark beer, such as stout
2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
Fresh mint, for garnish
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Neutral oil, for frying
1 cup fresh parsley leaves
Neutral oil, for frying
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup thinly sliced onion rings
1/2 cup drained capers
Neutral oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the pork shoulder: One day before cooking, liberally salt the pork shoulder and refrigerate uncovered.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the pancetta and 6 sage leaves over medium heat until the pancetta renders its fat and gets crispy, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sage and pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside. Add the pork shoulder to the pancetta fat and brown the pork on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Set aside.
  • Add the garlic, carrots, rutabaga, turnips and onion and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, miso paste, rosemary sprigs and sage sprigs and cook for 1 minute more. Add the beer and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Return the pork to the pan and add the reserved pancetta and sage. Cover and braise in the oven until fork-tender, about 3 1/2 hours. Allow the pork to rest for 30 minutes in the liquid.
  • For the fried parsley: Put 1/2 inch of oil in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until 350 degrees F. Add the parsley leaves and fry until crispy, about 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • For the fried onions: Put 1/2 inch of oil in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until 350 degrees F.
  • Mix together the flour and cayenne in a shallow bowl. Dredge the onions in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Fry in batches until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • For the fried capers: Pat the capers dry with a paper towel. Fill a small saucepan with 1/2 inch of oil. Add the capers to the cold oil and turn the heat to medium. Cook until the capers are fried and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Remove the pork from the liquid and transfer to a cutting board. Slice the pork into 1-inch-thick pieces and transfer to a serving platter.
  • Stir the vinegar into the braising liquid. Pour the sauce over the pork and top with the fried capers, fried onions, fried parsley, mint and cilantro.

PORK ROAST WITH WINTER FRUITS AND PORT SAUCE



Pork Roast with Winter Fruits and Port Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Fruit     Pork     Side     Marinate     Roast     Port     Winter     Simmer

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

FOR STUFFING
1/4 pound California dried apricots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 pound pitted prunes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2/3 cup ruby port wine
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 small shallot, finely chopped
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tart apple such as Ganny Smith, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
FOR ROAST AND SAUCE
1 (6-pound) bone-in pork loin roast (about 10 ribs), frenched, at room temperature 1 hour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
9 or 10 bacon slices
1/2 cup ruby port wine
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons arrowroot

Steps:

  • MAKE STUFFING
  • Simmer the apricots, prunes, and wine in a small heavy saucepan, covered, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Cook the onion and shallot in the butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the apple and salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until apple is just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the apricot mixture and cool.
  • STUFF AND ROAST PORK
  • Preheat the oven to 500°F, with the rack in the middle.
  • Make a pocket in the center of the roast by cutting a horizontal 1 1/2-inch-wide slit into one end with a long thin knife and repeating from the opposite end so a pocket runs all the way through. Make a vertical cut through the center (forming a cross) to widen the pocket. Push about 1 cup stuffing into the pocket using a long-handled wooden spoon (you may need to stuff from both sides if roast is long). Reserve the remaining stuffing for the sauce.
  • Season the roast with salt and pepper and put in a large flameproof roasting pan. Wrap with the bacon between rib bones, tucking the ends under the roast. Roast the pork 20 minutes, then reduce the oven to 325°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted 2 inches into the center (do not touch bone or stuffing) registers 155°F, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours total.
  • Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature of the meat will rise to about 160°F; meat will be slightly pink.)
  • MAKE SAUCE
  • Skim the fat from the pan drippings and reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons fat. Straddle the pan across 2 burners and add port to drippings, then deglaze by boiling over high heat, stirring and scraping up browned bits, 1 minute. Strain the pan juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the solids.
  • Cook the shallot in the reserved fat in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the pan juices, 1 1/4 cups water, and any reserved fruit stuffing and bring to a simmer. Whisk together the arrowroot and remaining 1/4 cup water until smooth, then whisk into the sauce along with any juices from the cutting board. Simmer the sauce, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Carve the roast into chops by cutting between ribs, then serve with the sauce.
  • DO AHEAD
  • The STUFFING can be made 2 days ahead and chilled. The UNCOOKED ROAST improves in flavor if stuffed, seasoned, and wrapped with bacon 1 day ahead and chilled. Bring to room temperature before roasting.
