PORK CHOPS WITH PEAR SAUCE



Pork Chops with Pear Sauce image

I created this recipe because I have found that many pork recipes have little flavor, are too spicy, or just require too much work. My husband and I prefer sweet food rather than spicy or sour, hence a new pork recipe was born. This is delicious when served with rice and green vegetables as side dishes.

2 pork tenderloins, trimmed (about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds total)
Canola or peanut oil, for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups Prickly Pear Tequila BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
3 medium red onions, 2 whole, 1 minced
1 tablespoon canola oil
3/4 cup frozen prickly pear cactus puree, thawed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon coriander seed, freshly toasted and ground
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seed, freshly toasted and ground
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 serrano chiles, ribs and seeds removed, minced
2 serrano chiles, ribs and seeds removed, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/2 cup white Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup tequila
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons lime juice
3/4 cup water
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
  • Brush the pork tenderloins with oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Use a clean cloth or rolled paper towels soaked with oil to season the grill. Grill the tenderloins, turning as necessary to mark them well on all sides. Use a basting brush to coat the tenderloins with sauce. Turn the tenderloins about every 2 minutes and reapply sauce to ensure even caramelization. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145 degrees F (for medium doneness) to 160 degrees F (for well done).
  • Remove the tenderloins to a wire rack or plate to rest. Rest in a warm place for at least 5 to 7 minutes. Bring leftover sauce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with sauce for dipping or drizzling.
  • Coat the whole red onions with canola oil and roast until inside layers are very soft, about 1 hour. Peel the onions and discard outer layers if blackened. Place in blender with prickly pear cactus puree and blend at high speed until completely smooth. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute minced onions until lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add coriander, cumin, pepper flakes, serrano, garlic, and lime zest. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add Worcestershire, tequila, cider vinegar and lime juice. Cook over medium-high heat until reduced by half.
  • Stir in onion/cactus fruit puree, water and salt, to taste, and bring to a simmer.
  • Remove from heat and swirl in the remaining butter. The sauce may be blended to achieve a smoother consistency or left as it is.

ROAST PORK WITH PEAR SAUCE



Roast pork with pear sauce image

You know pork's good with apple sauce, but have you tried it with pears? The sauce is also good with game or duck

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Lunch, Main course

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2kg loin of pork , on the bone
2 tbsp sunflower oil
25g butter
4 ripe pears , peeled, cored and chopped into chunks
1 tbsp fennel seeds
150ml perry or dry cider
2 tbsp golden caster sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9. Dry the skin of the pork with kitchen paper, then rub with the oil and season generously with sea salt. Sit the pork in a roasting tin, then roast for 20 mins. Reduce the heat to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and continue to roast the pork for 1 hr 20 mins until cooked and skin has turned to crisp crackling. If the skin isn't crisp enough, turn the oven back up to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9 for a further 10 mins.
  • While the pork is roasting, make the pear sauce. Heat the butter in a saucepan and sizzle the pear chunks and fennel seeds together until they start to brown. Add the perry or cider and sugar. Bubble everything down until the perry is reduced and has become sticky and caramelised, and the pear is tender and starting to collapse. If the pears don't break down, use a potato masher to mash into a rough purée. Serve the sauce in a bowl alongside the pork with your favourite side dishes.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEAR-CRANBERRY SAUCE



Pork Tenderloin With Pear-Cranberry Sauce image

This is my own recipe. I scored some great locally raised pork tenderloin and some homemade maple syrup in the same week, and was inspired to create a recipe that used these and other regional ingredients. This recipe comes together very quickly. I made the sauce while the tenderloins were roasting and it took me less than 45 minutes from the time I started prepping ingredients to getting it on the table. By the way, I specify port, but sweet marsala or sherry should work (or substitute 2 Tbs of balsamic vinegar in 1/3 cup water for the 1/2 cup wine). Using >Bosc< pears is key because they won't break down when cooked. I served the tenderloins with buttermilk biscuits and lightly steamed green beans. And had a pint of Wolaver's brown ale to go with it all. Beauty!

Provided by Primordial

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, chopped fine
4 bosc pears, peeled, cored and diced medium
1 cup cranberries
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup port wine (see substitution note above)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 -3 inches lemon peel
1 1/2-2 lbs pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • For the sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat and add shallots. Cook just until softened.
  • Add pears, cranberries, syrup, juice, port, salt and lemon peel (leave the peel whole to make it easier to remove later). Bring to a very gentle simmer and reduce by about half to a syrupy consistency (8-10 minutes). The cranberries will break down a bit and the Bosc pears should soften but not turn to mush. Remove from heat, remove the peel and keep warm.
  • For the tenderloins: Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Dry the tenderloin and remove any excess fat and connective tissue (the silvery film often found around tenderloins will constrict when cooked and can make them curl up and wring out the moisture from the meat). Season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it just starts to smoke. Brown the tenderloins on all sides (about 10 minutes).
  • If you didn't use an oven-safe skillet (I use cast iron) then place the tenderloins in a baking dish. Place the skillet/dish in the oven and roast until the pork registers 135°F - about 10-15 minutes. Turn the tenderloins about halfway through the cooking time.
  • Transfer the tenderloins to a carving board and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes. They should reach an internal temperature of about 145-150°F.
  • Gently reheat the sauce for a few moments. Slice the tenderloin into 1" pieces and dress with the sauce.
