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.

UNBELIEVABLE ROAST PORK WITH STUFFED APPLES AND PARSNIPS



UNBELIEVABLE ROAST PORK WITH STUFFED APPLES AND PARSNIPS image

Categories     Pork

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 a pork loin, rib-end
6 large parsnips, peeled and
cut lengthways
6 small red onions, peeled
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 handfuls of fresh sage,
leaves picked
1 heaped teaspoon
ground allspice
1/2 a nutmeg, grated
2 cloves of garlic, peeled
zest of 1 orange
150g/51/2oz butter, softened
6 good eating apples

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 220C/425F/gas 7. Sometimes the fat in pork can be too thick and never goes crisp. So ask your butcher to score through the skin about 1cm/1/2 inch apart then remove it from the loin. You want to try to leave about 0.5cm/1/4 inch of fat on the loin, and score this across so it goes nice and crisp when you cook it. Season the skin well and place on a tray in the oven to start crackling - this will take around 15-20 minutes, depending on how moist the skin is. Remove when golden and crisp and put to one side. Meanwhile parboil your parsnips and red onions in boiling, salted water for about 5 minutes. In a pestle and mortar (or in a metal bowl using the end of a rolling pin) bash up the sage, allspice, nutmeg, garlic and orange zest with a good pinch of salt and pepper until you have a fine powder. Put the mixture into a bowl with your butter, then mix it all up well. Run a knife around the middle of each apple - this will stop them bursting when they cook. Remove the core with a peeler without piercing right through the apple (see picture opposite) and discard. Pack your flavoured butter into the cavity of each apple where the core was - any excess butter can be smeared all over the pork loin. Place the apples in the tray, butter side facing down, with the parboiled parsnips and red onions. Put the pork on top and place in the oven for 1 hour. After half an hour, take the tray out of the oven, remove the pork to a plate, and carefully toss the onion and parsnips in all the lovely cooking juices, trying not to disrupt the apples. Put the pork back on top and continue cooking for half an hour at 180?C/350F/gas 4 until nice and golden. When done, remove the pork from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Turn the oven off, but keep the veggies and crackling warm in the oven until you're ready to serve. Carve the pork and divide between your 6 plates with the veggies and an apple each.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork roast: For this recipe, a pork loin roast or pork shoulder roast is best. Look for a roast that is at least 3 pounds.
  • Score the pork roast: Scoring the roast helps the flavors penetrate the meat. Use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts in the top of the roast.
  • Season the pork roast generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the roast. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Roast the pork roast on a bed of vegetables: This helps to keep the roast moist and flavorful. Use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, and garlic.
  • Stuff the apples with a mixture of sausage, bread crumbs, and herbs: This stuffing adds flavor and moisture to the apples.
  • Roast the apples and parsnips alongside the pork roast: This will help them to caramelize and brown.
  • Let the roast rest before carving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

Conclusion:

This roast pork with stuffed apples and parsnips is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork is tender and flavorful, the apples are sweet and tangy, and the parsnips are earthy and caramelized. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
