Bone In Pork Roast With Apples And Gremolata Recipes

BONE-IN PORK ROAST WITH APPLES AND GREMOLATA

Steps:

• Let pork sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season pork with salt and pepper. In a large roasting pan, arrange apples, cut side down, in two rows in center of pan. Place pork, fat side up, on top of apples. Add wine and 1 cup water to pan. Roast until pork is golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center (avoiding bones) reads 145 degrees, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Transfer pork and apples to a platter. Loosely tent pork with foil and let rest 30 minutes.
• Make gremolata: In a small bowl, stir together parsley, rosemary, lemon zest and juice, and oil and season with salt and pepper. Cut roast into chops and serve with apples and gremolata.

ROAST PORK LOIN WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper. Sear the meat until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and set it aside.
• Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, herb sprigs, and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sliced apples, then push the mixture to the sides and set the pork loin in the middle of the skillet along with any collected juices on the plate. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 140 to 150 degrees F, about 30 to 35 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
• Transfer the pork a cutting board and cover it loosely with foil while you make the sauce. Arrange the apples and vegetables on a serving platter and set aside. Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Return the skillet to a high heat and add the vinegar scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up any browned bits. Reduce by half then add the cider and reduce by about half again. Pull the skillet from the heat and whisk in the mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold butter. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Remove the strings from the roast and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange over the apple mixture. Drizzle some sauce over meat and serve the rest on the side.
• Cook's Note: Pork cooked this way will be slightly pink. If desired, cook the pork to 160 degrees F, but be aware that this lean cut will not be as moist at the higher temperature.

BONE-IN PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Have butcher cut the chine bone in between each rib of the pork roast to make carving easier.
• Leave the fat cap on for added moisture and flavor.
• Line a large stockpot or bucket with a plastic bag (I use a paint bucket I purchased from a paint store specifically for brining).
• Pour water in and dissolve the salt and brown sugar.
• Add peppercorns and a few thyme sprigs.
• Place the pork roast in the brine and if using a bag, tie the bag closed so the pork is submerged.
• Refrigerate (I surround with ice) for 6 hours.
• Remove pork from the brine and dry thoroughly with paper towels.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Lay thyme sprigs all over the roast, season with salt and pepper, then secure with butcher's twine to help hold the shape.
• Coat a roasting pan with olive oil and set on 2 burners over high heat until almost smoking.
• Sear the pork, fat side down, until caramelized.
• Turn the roast to brown all sides, about 10 minutes.
• To flavor the pork drippings, scatter carrots, garlic, onion, shallots and more thyme sprigs in the pan, and then transfer the roast to the oven.
• Roast until a meat thermometer, inserted in the thickest part of the roast registers 150°F-- about 1 hour.
• Remove the pork to a cutting board to rest while preparing the pan sauce.
• Discard the aromatic vegetables and set the pan on 2 burners over high heat.
• Deglaze the pan with apple juice, scraping up the yummy bits off the bottom.
• Reduce by a third, season with salt& pepper, and whisk in the butter to smooth out.
• Serve.
• Enjoy!
