ROASTED VIDALIA ONIONS

Roasted in the oven or on the grill, these onions are simple and tasty. They taste like French onion soup, and smell great. In college I used to put it on the top of my gas stove! Still delicious just the same. Very very easy and loads of flavor.

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH SWEET TANGY SAUCE



Roasted Pork Loin With Sweet Tangy Sauce image

This roast is so tender and juicy and has a sweet tangy sauce that will melt in your mouth.I got this from another website and tweaked it to my likings. I roast this is a glass baking dish on top of an onion cut into 4 pieces. If you are preparing a larger roast just double the ingredients. The sauce is also good on rice if you'd like. Prep time does not include marinating time. I plate this with the onions that were in the bottom-oh so good!

1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 -3 garlic cloves, crushed

1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Rub roast with olive oil so rub will stick to the roast.
  • Rub mix all over roast.

  • Meanwhile, place sugar, flour,vinegar, water and soy sauce in small saucepan. Heat, stirring occasionally until mixture begins to bubble and thicken slightly.
  • Brush roast with glaze 3 or 4 times during last half hour of cooking.
  • When roast is done (I use a meat thermometer to ensure that it's done). Take out of oven, pour remaining glaze on and let rest set about 10 minutes before carving.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GLAZED SWEET ONIONS



Pork Tenderloin With Glazed Sweet Onions image

Some onions become milder and gain sweetness as they cook. Although the recipe calls for Vidalia onions you can use any sweet onion in this recipe. I usually cook my tenderloin on the bbq but did this one in the oven. My DD prefers it done this way.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large vidalia onions or 2 large other sweet onions, sliced
2 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots or 1/2 cup golden raisin
salt and pepper
2 lbs pork tenderloin

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Melt butter in large frying pan and add the sliced onions and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.

  • Spoon the glazed onions over the pork. Roast the pork until browned on the outside and just faintly pink in the center, about 45 minutes.
  • An instant-read thermometer inserted into the pork should read 155-160°F.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork loin is a lean and tender cut that is perfect for roasting.
  • Season the pork loin well: Rub the pork loin with a mixture of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Roast the pork loin at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the pork loin while keeping the inside moist and juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork loin is cooked to the proper temperature: The internal temperature of the pork loin should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork loin rest before carving: This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Roasted sweet Vidalia pork loin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy glaze complements the tender and juicy pork loin perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
