ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH CIDER AND CHUNKY APPLESAUCE



Roasted Pork Loin with Cider and Chunky Applesauce image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves roughly chopped
2 sprigs fresh sage, leaves roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Pinch crushed red pepper
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 (6-chop) pork rib roast
2 large onions, sliced
1 bundle fresh thyme, tied with string
3 bay leaves
2 quarts apple cider, divided
Chunky Applesauce, recipe follows
3 tablespoons butter
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks (toss the apples in lemon juice if not using right away)
1 1/2 cups reserved cider from Roasted Pork Loin with Cider
1/4 cup apple cider
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a food processor, combine the chopped herbs with the garlic, crushed red pepper, a generous pinch of salt, and enough olive oil to make a paste. Brush the paste on the outside of the pork rib roast.
  • Toss the onions with olive oil and salt and place in the bottom of a roasting pan. Add the thyme, bay leaves, and two-thirds of the cider. Place the pork on top of the onions and place in the oven. Roast the pork until it has developed a lovely brown crust, 20 to 25 minutes. Check on the pork and stir the onions and cider if they are starting to burn. Add more cider when the level starts to go down.
  • Lower the oven to 375 degrees F and roast until an instant-read thermometer reads 150 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. If the crust on the pork starts to get too dark, cover it with foil. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the cider from the bottom of the roasting pan and reserve for the applesauce.
  • Let the pork rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. When ready to carve, remove the pork from the bone and cut the loin into thin slices. Serve with the onions braised in cider and Chunky Applesauce.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan large enough to accommodate the apples. Add the apples and saute over medium-low heat until the apples start to soften. Add the reserved cider, apple cider, and cinnamon and cook over medium-low heat until most of the cider has evaporated and the apples are cooked and very soft.
  • Add the heavy cream and walnuts and cook until the cream has reduced by half. The end result should be a very chunky, sweet/savory applesauce.

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH CIDER AND CHUNKY APPLESAUCE



Roasted Pork Loin With Cider and Chunky Applesauce image

This succulent bone-in pork loin uses a high heat method over liquid to seal in the juices, then cooks at lower heat to tender perfection before being cut off the bone for serving. The aromas of savory spices and onions mingle with apple cider to permeate the roast with amazing flavor, and it's finished with a side of chunky, sweet/savory apple sauce. A delicious recipe from Chef Anne Burrell.

2 sprigs rosemary, roughly chopped
2 sprigs sage, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
kosher salt
extra virgin olive oil
1 center cut pork rib roast, bone-in, with 6 ribs
2 large onions, sliced
1 bunch thyme, tied with string
3 bay leaves
2 quarts apple cider
3 tablespoons butter
4 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, cut in 1/2-inch chunks (tossed in lemon juice if not using right away)
1 1/2 cups of the reserved cider, from the roasted pork loin
1/4 cup apple cider
1 pinch ground cinnamon

  • Place the pork on top of the onions and then in the preheated oven. Roast the pork at 425 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pork has developed a lovely brown crust. Check the pork, stir the onions and cider if they are starting to burn. Add more cider if the fluid level starts to go down.
  • Lower the oven to 375 degrees F and roast for another 30 to 35 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 150 degrees F. If the crust on the pork starts to get too dark while cooking, cover it with foil.
  • When done, place the pork loin on a plate, cover loosely with foil and let rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the cider from the bottom of the roasting pan and reserve for the applesauce. When ready to carve, cut the pork from the bone and cut the loin into thin slices. Serve with the onions braised in cider and chunky applesauce.
  • For the applesauce, melt the butter in a saucepan large enough to accommodate the apples. Add the apples and saute over medium-low heat until the apples start to soften. Add the reserved cider, apple cider and cinnamon and cook over low-medium heat until most of the cider has evaporated and the apples are cooked and very soft. Add the heavy cream and walnuts, and cook until the cream has reduced by half.

ROAST PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES AND CIDER SAUCE



Roast Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Cider Sauce image

Categories     Fruit Juice     Fruit     Pork     Roast     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Vinegar     Apple     Pork Tenderloin     Fall     Healthy     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (3/4-pound) pork tenderloins
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 (1/2-pound) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and each cut into 16 wedges
1 cup low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
2/3 cup unfiltered apple cider
1/2 teaspoon arrowroot
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Pat tenderloins dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown tenderloins on all sides, turning with tongs, about 5 minutes total. (If the handle of your skillet is not ovenproof, wrap handle in a triple layer of foil, shiny side out.) Transfer skillet to upper third of oven and roast until a thermometer inserted diagonally into center of meat registers 155°F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 minutes before slicing.
  • While meat is standing, heat butter in same skillet (handle will be hot) over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Add apple wedges and sauté, turning occasionally, until tender and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer apples to a plate, then add chicken broth and cider to skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat and meanwhile whisk together arrowroot and water in a small bowl. Whisk arrowroot mixture into sauce and boil until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar, measured salt and pepper, and any juices that have accumulated on platter.
  • Cut meat into 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve topped with apples and sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork loin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well done.
  • For a crispier pork loin, increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  • If you don't have apple cider, you can substitute it with chicken broth or white wine.
  • For a sweeter applesauce, add a tablespoon of brown sugar or honey.
  • To make the applesauce ahead of time, simply cook the apples and cinnamon in a saucepan until the apples are soft. Then, let it cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

This roasted pork loin with cider and chunky applesauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork is tender and juicy, the applesauce is sweet and tangy, and the cider adds a subtle flavor that brings it all together. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad, and you have a meal that everyone will love.
