Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 shallot, diced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup port wine
1/2 pound ripe fresh figs (about 8), stemmed and halved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Generously season pork with salt and pepper; brown on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat. Transfer skillet to oven, and continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of pork registers 145 degrees, 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate; tent loosely with aluminum foil (reserve skillet).

Gradually whisk in port; cook until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Add figs; cook until warmed through, about 1 minute (adjust consistency of sauce with water if needed). Slice pork, and serve with figs and port sauce.

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH FIGS



Roasted Pork Loin With Figs image

An Exquisite Dish. Nice way to use those fresh picked figs.Great on a bed of white rice or mashed potatoes and a fresh green green salad. Fresh figs contain ficin, a proteolytic (protein-breaking) enzyme similar to papain in papayas and bromelin in fresh pineapple. Proteolytic enzymes split long-chain protein molecules into smaller units, which is why they help tenderize meat. Ficin is most effective at about 140-160°F, the temperature at which stews simmer, and it will continue to work after you take the stew off the stove until the food cools down. Making this a good leftover meal. Temperatures higher than 160°F inactivate ficin; canned figs-which have been exposed to very high heat in processing-will not tenderize meat. Both fresh and dried figs contain pectin, which dissolves when you cook the figs, making them softer.

PORK LOIN WITH FIG AND PORT SAUCE



Pork Loin with Fig and Port Sauce image

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.

ROASTED LOIN OF PORK WITH FIG AND CHIPOTLE STUFFING



Roasted Loin of Pork with Fig and Chipotle Stuffing image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup tamarind paste, dissolved in water (optional)
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup molasses
1 1/2 teaspoons chile powder
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 pounds boneless loin of pork, with the fat cap left on
2 cups dried Black Mission figs, trimmed and coarsely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped roasted garlic
1 teaspoon pureed chipotles in adobo
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lemon-flavored oil or 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil with 2 teaspoons minced lemon zest
1 teaspoon sherry or balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
Olive oil, for searing

Steps:

  • To prepare the marinade: Blend together the tamarind paste, if using, orange juice, molasses, chile powder, vinegar, oil, and basil. Pour the marinade over the pork loin in a shallow glass baking dish, cover, and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  • To prepare the stuffing: Place the figs, garlic, and pureed chipotles in a food processor and pulse until semi-smooth. Transfer to a bowl and fold in the remaining ingredients.
  • To prepare the pork: Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and blot dry. Butterfly the loin lengthwise, leaving 1/2 inch of meat attached to connect the 2 halves of the loin. Open the pork loin and cover it with plastic wrap. Pound lightly with a butcher's mallet or heavy pan to an even thickness, 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Mound the stuffing down the center of the loin and fold it closed. Tie the loin carefully at 1-inch intervals with butcher's string. The loin may be prepared to this point up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Pour the marinade into a saucepan and reduce it over low heat to a glazelike consistency. Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over moderate heat and sear the meat. Transfer to a metal rack wet in a roasting pan and roast for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 145 degrees. Bursh the pork liberally with the glaze during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes or so before removing the twine. Slice and serve.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve with sauteed chanterelle mushrooms with apple wedges.

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.

STUFFED PORK LOIN WITH FIGS



Stuffed Pork Loin With Figs image

The end result of stuffing the loin with figs is quite fabulous. The figs are imbued with the flavor of the meat. The meat gains moisture, sweetness and complexity from the figs. The presentation is considerably lovelier than an unadorned roast.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cup dried figs
1 boneless pork loin, 2 to 3 pounds
Salt
freshly ground pepper
3 or 4 fresh rosemary sprigs, minced
1/2 cup red wine, more if necessary

Steps:

  • Put figs in hot water to soak. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Wriggle a thin, sharp knife into each end of meat, making a kind of pilot hole. Then use handle of a long wooden spoon to force a hole all the way through meat, making it as wide as your thumb.
  • Drain when figs are tender but not mushy, reserving liquid. Stuff figs into roast, all the way to center from each end.
  • Combine salt, pepper and rosemary and rub it all over meat. Put meat in a roasting pan and pour about half a cup of fruit-soaking liquid over it. Roast undisturbed for 20 minutes. Lower heat to 350 degrees and continue to cook, basting with pan juices (or added liquid, like wine or water, if necessary) every 15 minutes or so. When an instant-read thermometer registers 145 to 150 degrees - probably after 40 to 60 minutes - remove roast to a warm platter. (When checking meat, be sure thermometer is in meat, not fruit.)
  • Let sit for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, put roasting pan on stove over one or two burners set to medium-high. If there is a lot of liquid, reduce it to about half a cup, scraping bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to release any brown bits. If pan is dry, add half a cup of wine and follow same process. When sauce has reduced, slice roast and serve with sauce.

HEARTY ROASTED PORK LOIN & VEGETABLES RECIPE BY TASTY



Hearty Roasted Pork Loin & Vegetables Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: pork loin, olive oil, kosher salt, McCormick® Hearty Spice Blend, brussels sprouts, butternut squash, large red onion

Provided by Gwenaelle Le Cochennec

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pork loin, 3 pound (1.3 kilograms)
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons McCormick® Hearty Spice Blend, divided
3 cups brussels sprouts, (about 12 ounces) ends trimmed and halved lengthwise
3 cups butternut squash, (about 12 ounces-360 grams), cut into ½-inch (1.24 cm) pieces
1 large red onion, cut into 1 in (2.54 cm) pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Using a sharp knife, score the fat cap of the pork loin in a crosshatch pattern. Do not cut through to the meat.
  • Using your hands, rub 2 tablespoon olive oil all over the pork. Liberally season all over with 1 tablespoon salt, plus more as needed. Rub 2 tablespoons of the McCormick® Savoury Spice Blend all over the pork.
  • Transfer the pork to a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes, until the fat is beginning to render and brown.
  • Meanwhile in a large bowl add the Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, and red onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 tablespoon McCormick® Savoury Spice Blend and toss to coat.
  • Remove the pork from the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  • Evenly spread the vegetables on the baking sheet, turning the Brussels sprouts cut-side down. Clear a space in the center of the pan, then return the pork to the pan. It is okay if some of the vegetables are underneath the pork.
  • Return to the oven and cook for 35-50 minutes, depending on the size of the pork loin, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving the pork and serving with the vegetables.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork loin remains moist and juicy, it's crucial to cook it to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius). Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the loin to accurately measure its internal temperature.
  • If you find that the pork loin is browning too quickly, reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees Celsius) and continue cooking until it reaches the desired internal temperature.
  • To achieve a crispy and flavorful crust on the pork loin, pat it dry with paper towels before roasting. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • For a more flavorful dish, consider marinating the pork loin overnight in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat and result in a more succulent dish.
  • If you don't have fresh figs, you can substitute them with dried figs. Just be sure to soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes before using.

Conclusion:

Roasted pork loin with figs is an elegant and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The combination of tender pork and sweet figs creates a taste experience that is both satisfying and memorable. By following these tips, you can ensure that your roasted pork loin with figs turns out perfectly every time.
