Time 2h44m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups sauerkraut
2 tablespoons butter, divided
2 small apples - peeled, cored, and chopped
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ cup dry white wine
1 bay leaf
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 pounds boneless rolled pork loin roast
kitchen twine
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 onions, chopped
½ cup water

Steps:

  • Drain sauerkraut in a sieve, rinse under cold running water, and drain again.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small pot over medium heat and cook apples until lightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add sugar and continue to cook until apple pieces start to brown on the edges and caramelize, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sauerkraut, wine, and bay leaf. Cover and simmer until flavors are well combined, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 15 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Unroll pork roast, pat dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Spoon the cooled apple-sauerkraut mixture in the middle of the roast. Roll the roast up and tie with kitchen twine.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and saute pork roast on all sides until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move pork roast into a lidded casserole dish.
  • Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet and cook onions over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir in water. Pour water and onions around the pork roast; cover with lid.
  • Bake pork roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), basting with its juices a couple of times, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Remove pork roast from casserole dish, untie kitchen twine, and cover with 2 layers of aluminum foil. Allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes.
  • Pour juices from casserole dish into a small pot and puree with an immersion blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the roast.

SAUSAGE AND APPLE STUFFED PORK ROAST



Sausage and Apple Stuffed Pork Roast image

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 pound mild Italian sausage (or 2 links, casings removed)
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 tart apple, peeled and diced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pieces white bread
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons butter
One 3-pound boneless pork loin
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large saute pan over medium heat, saute the sausage until no longer pink. Remove the sausage (leave in the fat), and set aside. To the pan, add the onion, celery, and apple and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until the apple is no longer crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional couple of minutes. Remove from the heat, stir the sausage back in and set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse the bread with the sage, rosemary, and thyme into coarse crumbs.
  • Heat the butter in a medium saute pan and cook the crumbs over medium-high heat until coated with butter and lightly toasted, about 3 minutes (be careful not to burn). Mix the breadcrumbs into the sausage mixture.
  • Prepare the roast as if making a jellyroll. Place the roast with the short side toward you, and fat facing down toward the counter or cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice the roast open at about 1/2-inch from the bottom of the roast (parallel to the cutting board), being careful not to cut all the way through. Continue cutting, unrolling the roast as you work until you have a large, thin piece of meat. Place the rolled out piece of meat between 2 sheets of waxed or parchment paper, and lightly pound with meat mallet to increase the meat surface area by 10 to 20 percent. Be careful not to pound through the meat. Salt and pepper the pork and top with the filling, spreading evenly across the pork, leaving a 1-inch margin around the perimeter.
  • Starting with the short side, roll up tightly jellyroll style, and secure the roast with kitchen twine.
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add oil. Add the roast and brown on all sides. Place in a roasting pan fitted with a rack and add the wine in the bottom of the pan (to keep the juices from burning), and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature hits 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the roast from the oven and allow to rest for a full 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

SAUERKRAUT AND APPLES



Sauerkraut and Apples image

In the Chesapeake, seafood often finds its way onto the Thanksgiving menu. But in Baltimore, which has a strong eastern European and German immigrant history, the holiday table demands something else. "The absence of sauerkraut when turkey is present, Thanksgiving included, is unthinkable, comparable to potatoes without gravy or crisp French fries without ketchup," wrote John Shields, the chef and owner of Gertrude's restaurant in Baltimore, in his cookbook "Chesapeake Bay Cooking." (Sauerkraut is a mainstay well beyond Thanksgiving; Gertrude's hosts an annual Krautfest in January.) Traditionally, homemakers fermented the cabbage in earthenware crocks in their cellars, but these days the fresh stuff is available to buy. On Thanksgiving, it's often simply served as a side, or incorporated into dishes like this, in which the sauerkraut is braised in beer with bacon and apples.

Black pepper, to taste

Steps:
