ROAST PORK WITH FIGS ONIONS AND MARSALA
A rather sweet pork roast. I like this a lot because not only is it delish, but it freezes quite well sliced in the juices. Another Boil-in-bag thing.

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.

MOROCCAN FIG PORK ROAST
A succulent, savory and sweet pork roast, ideally served over a vegetable rice or couscous. I love using spices as much as possible, so in this experiment I used quite a few which I rubbed onto the pork roast before I seared it. I think it would be even better if you let the rub sit on the roast for an hour or so in the fridge prior to cooking.

Return pork to the pot, coating it with the fig mixture. Pour in the tomatoes and chicken broth. Cover, and bring to a boil.
- Place covered pot in the preheated oven. Cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:
- Unroll the pork and lay it on a board, flesh-side up. Make incisions all over the meat with a sharp knife, then push the slivers of garlic into the incisions. Crush the salt, peppercorns, rosemary and juniper berries roughly using a pestle and mortar, then stir in the olive oil. Rub the seasoning mix into the pork, again on the flesh-side, pushing bits inside the incisions. Put in a dish, cover and chill overnight.
- The next day, remove the pork from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Roll the loin firmly, keeping as much of the seasoning inside as you can, then tie it at intervals with kitchen string. Put it skin-side up in a heavy roasting tin and season all over. Roast for 25 mins, then reduce the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- Pull half the grapes from their stems, cut the rest of the bunch into sprigs, and add them all to the roasting tin with 250ml of the marsala. Continue roasting for 1 hr. Test the meat: the juices should run clear when the flesh is pierced to the centre with a metal skewer (or see tip, below). Remove the pork from the tin, along with the grapes that are on sprigs, and put them on a warmed serving platter. Cover and leave to rest for 15 mins.
- Set the roasting tin over a medium heat, add the remaining marsala and crush the loose grapes into the juices. Boil until you have a slightly syrupy mixture. Serve the pork with the marsala sauce and the sprigs of roasted grapes.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder is the best cut for this dish, as it is well-marbled and will stay moist during the roasting process.
- Use ripe figs: Ripe figs are sweeter and have a more intense flavor than unripe figs.
- Roast the pork and vegetables separately: This will help to ensure that the pork is cooked through and that the vegetables are tender.
- Use a good quality Marsala wine: A good quality Marsala wine will add a rich and complex flavor to the dish.
- Let the dish rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and vegetables, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Roast pork with figs, onions, and Marsala is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork is tender and juicy, the figs are sweet and caramelized, the onions are soft and flavorful, and the Marsala wine adds a rich and complex flavor to the dish. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
