Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound onions (3 medium-size), peeled, halved and sliced thin (3 cups)
1 boneless pork loin roast (about 3 1/2 pounds, 10 inches long and 4 inches in diameter)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 1/4 pounds rhubarb, trimmed and cut on the diagonal in 1/8-inch thick slices (3 cups)

Steps:

  • Place butter in a 5-quart casserole with a tight-fitting lid. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power in a high-power microwave oven for 2 minutes. Stir in onions. Cook, uncovered, for 4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle roast with the salt and some pepper. Remove casserole from oven. Stir in rhubarb. Place the pork, fat side down, diagonally in the casserole, pushing the onion mixture around the roast. Cook, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • Uncover and turn roast over. Re-cover and cook for 10 minutes. Uncover and turn roast again. Cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
  • While roast is cooking, preheat broiler. Remove casserole from oven. Transfer pork to a small roasting pan, fat side up. Place under broiler until top browns, about 2 minutes.
  • Let roast stand for 10 minutes. Remove strings. Cut in 1/4-inch thick slices. Stir several grinds of pepper into the sauce. Pour a generous 1/4-cup sauce onto each plate. Place two slices of pork over sauce and serve.

I'm not a big fan of rhubarb, but I thought this dish was surprisingly good. The sauce was very flavorful and the pork was cooked perfectly.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise it was a good dish.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit! The rhubarb sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the pork was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
