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.

BACON-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BALSAMIC AND FIG



Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic and Fig image

Adding fig preserves and balsamic vinegar to bacon-wrapped pork gives you the perfect sweet-salty combo of flavors that is impressive enough to serve guests. Best of all, it's ready in about 20 minutes. Be sure to use a tenderloin and not a loin - they are not the same size-wise and require very different cook times. I love to serve this with roasted Brussels sprouts and mashed sweet potatoes. Do not use thick-cut bacon, as it will not cook thoroughly.

Categories     Pork Tenderloin

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

¾ teaspoon onion powder
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 ¼ pounds pork tenderloin
8 slices center-cut bacon
¼ cup fig preserves
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Steps:

  • Combine onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture all over the pork tenderloin and let sit at room temperature for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray foil with cooking spray.
  • On a clean work surface, lay bacon slices side by side, overlapping them slightly. Brush fig preserves on one side of the bacon. Place pork tenderloin on bottom end of the bacon slices and roll up so that tenderloin is wrapped in bacon. Place tenderloin, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes and remove pork tenderloin from oven.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Brush balsamic glaze all over the pork and return to the oven to broil until pork is slightly pink in the center, 5 to 7 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving

ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FIG CHUTNEY



Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Fig Chutney image

Roasting pork tenderloin in the same pan as carrots and onion allows the drippings to infuse the underlying vegetables with flavor. It also means one less pan to clean.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 18

5 ounces dried Black Mission figs, quartered (3/4 cup)
5 ounces dried Calimyrna figs, quartered (3/4 cup)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups ruby or tawny port
1/2 cup water
2 strips lemon zest
2 dried bay leaves
1 cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 pork tenderloins (1 1/2 pounds total)
4 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 medium onion, sliced 3/4 inch thick
1 bunch small carrots (about 3/4 pound), stems trimmed to 1/2 inch, halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • Make the chutney: Combine figs, butter, port, water, lemon zest, bay leaves, cinnamon, sugar, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until liquid is the consistency of a loose jam, about 40 minutes. Discard bay leaves and cinnamon stick, or reserve for garnish. (Chutney can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week; bring to room temperature, or reheat in a pan over low heat, adding water as needed.)
  • Roast the pork: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Rub pork with garlic and oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange onion on a rimmed baking sheet, and place pork on top. Scatter carrots and garlic around meat. Drizzle lightly with oil.
  • Roast, stirring vegetables halfway through, until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of pork registers 145 degrees for medium, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes. Slice pork, and serve warm or at room temperature with roasted vegetables and chutney. Unsliced pork and vegetables can be refrigerated in an airtight container overnight; slice, and serve chilled.

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:

  • For the best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked to the desired doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F for medium-rare, 150°F for medium, and 155°F for well-done.
  • If you don't have fig preserves, you can substitute another type of fruit preserves, such as apricot or peach.
  • You can also add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the sauce for extra flavor.
  • If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little water or red wine vinegar.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

This pork tenderloin with fig port sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. The pork is tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love.
