Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large pork tenderloin (about 1 1/4 pounds), trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 cup Israeli couscous

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes. Remove to a plate, reserving the drippings in the pot. Add the celery, onion and mushrooms to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the wine, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until reduced, about 1 minute.
  • Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the pork and rosemary. Cover and gently simmer until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Discard the rosemary. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the pot and stir until melted; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the parsley.
  • Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the couscous and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon butter; season with salt and pepper. Thickly slice the pork and serve with the couscous; top with the mushroom sauce.

1/2 teaspoon salt, plus additional as needed
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 cup plain pomegranate juice, such as POM Wonderful

Steps:

Reduce heat to medium and cook pork, turning occasionally, until meat is browned on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally into center of each tenderloin registers 145 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer pork with tongs to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pour off and discard any fat from skillet, then add pomegranate juice and boil over medium-high heat until reduced to about 2/3 cup, about 3 minutes (if side of skillet begins to scorch, reduce heat to medium). Stir together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water and whisk into juice, then boil sauce until thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.

MOLASSES-GLAZED GRILLED PORK LOIN



Molasses-Glazed Grilled Pork Loin image

A molasses-and-mustard glaze adds tang to grilled pork loin. Serve with Roasted Italian Plums. Leave a cool spot on the grill for cooking the roasts after they are glazed; turn them frequently to avoid burning.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 twelve-ounce jar unsulphured molasses
1/4 cup grainy mustard
2 teaspoons dry mustard
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 boneless pork loin roasts (3 to 4 pounds each)

Steps:

  • Heat charcoal or gas grill. In a small bowl, whisk together molasses, grainy mustard and dry mustard, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Tie each pork loin with kitchen twine in four to five places to form a nice, round shape. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Sear until well browned on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes total.
  • Brush with the glaze, and cook, turning and basting frequently, 5 minutes. Move to cooler part of grill, and close lid. Continue cooking, basting and turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Transfer the pork to a serving platter, and let rest 10 minutes before carving.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork tenderloin by cutting into it. The meat should be slightly pink in the center for medium-rare or cooked through with no pink for medium.
  • Make sure to use a good quality molasses for the glaze. This will help to create a rich and flavorful sauce.
  • If you don't have any molasses, you can substitute honey or brown sugar.
  • The couscous can be cooked according to the package directions. Alternatively, you can cook it in a rice cooker.
  • To make the dish more flavorful, you can add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, to the couscous.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin immediately with the molasses glaze and couscous.

Conclusion:

This pork tenderloin with molasses glaze and couscous is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The pork tenderloin is tender and juicy, and the molasses glaze adds a sweet and savory flavor. The couscous is a light and fluffy side dish that complements the pork tenderloin perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
