Cheese And Broccoli Stuffed Pork Roulade With Grilled Tomato Relish Recipes

CHEESE-STUFFED PORK ROULADE

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, leaving 1 burner off for indirect heat (to finish the roulades). Oil the grill grates.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the broccoli begins to brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 cup water and continue to cook until the water evaporates and the broccoli is tender, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl; stir in the Cheddar and set aside.
• Butterfly the tenderloins by making a 1-inch-deep incision down the length of each without cutting all the way through. Open the tenderloins like books so they lie flat, cover with plastic wrap and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until they're about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the broccoli mixture over the 2 tenderloins, leaving a 1-inch border around all the sides except the long one closest to you. Starting with the long side closest to you, tightly roll up each tenderloin, tucking the narrow ends inside as you roll. Tie each roulade with butcher's twine tightly (without piercing the meat) at each end and at 2-inch intervals in between. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Grill the roulades over direct heat, turning, until the outside is well marked, about 12 minutes. Move them to indirect heat, cover and cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of each roulade registers 145 degrees F, about 15 minutes more. Transfer them to a cutting board to rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lay a slice of onion on a cutting board. Place the palm of 1 hand on top of the slice, and with the other hand, push a metal skewer through the slice crosswise until it comes out the other side. Repeat with the other slices, leaving an inch of skewer uncovered on each end and using as many skewers as necessary. Thread the tomatoes on skewers. Brush the onions and tomatoes with oil. Grill, turning, until the tomatoes are charred and bursting and the onion slices are tender with brown edges, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the tomatoes and onions from the skewers and chop. Mix with the parsley, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
• Cut the strings off the roulades with scissors and slice the roulades on the bias. Serve with the relish.

MUSHROOM-STUFFED PORK ROULADE

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until they start browning, about 2 minutes. Stir and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 5 more minutes. Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet. Add another 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic to the other side of the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 30 seconds. Stir the garlic into the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, combine the parsley, chopped thyme and rosemary, 3 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
• Butterfly the pork: Position your knife about one-third of the way up the length of the pork loin, with your knife parallel to the cutting board. Begin cutting into the pork, pulling the meat away with your other hand so that it opens up into a flat, evenly thick piece. Season the pork with salt and pepper, spread the herb oil over the top, and top with the mushrooms. Reroll the pork into a log and tie in 1-inch intervals using kitchen twine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Set a rack in a large roasting pan. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork, fat-side down, and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, turning, until browned all over, 1 to 2 more minutes. Transfer the pork, seam-side down, to the rack in the pan. Roast on the lower oven rack until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat (not the filling) registers 135 degrees F, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove the pork on the rack to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, skim off any excess fat from the juices in the roasting pan and add the sherry. Place the pan across two burners over medium-high heat. Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs and cook, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon and stirring, until the liquid is reduced by about half, 1 minute. Pour into a small saucepan, add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and season with salt. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve.
• Place the pork on a cutting board and remove the twine; cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Transfer to a platter and serve with the sauce.

CHEESE-AND-BROCCOLI-STUFFED PORK ROULADE WITH GRILLED TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring, until the broccoli begins to brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 cup water, and continue to cook until the water evaporates and the broccoli is tender, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the Cheddar and reserve.
• Butterfly the tenderloins by making a 1-inch-deep incision down the length of each without cutting all the way through. Open the tenderloins like books so they lie flat, cover with plastic wrap and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until they're about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the broccoli mixture over the 2 tenderloins, leaving a 1-inch border around all the sides except the long one closest to you. Tightly roll up each tenderloin, tucking the narrow ends inside as you roll. Tie each roulade with butcher's twine tightly (without piercing the meat) on each end and at 2-inch intervals in between.

Move them to indirect heat, cover and cook until a thermometer inserted in the center of each roulade registers 145 degrees F, about 15 minutes more. Transfer them to a cutting board to rest 10 minutes.
• While the roulades are cooking, make the relish: Lay an onion slice on a cutting board. Place the palm of 1 hand on top of the slice, and with the other hand push a metal skewer through the slice crosswise until it comes out the other side. Repeat with the other slices, leaving an inch of skewer uncovered on each end and using as many skewers as necessary. Thread the tomatoes on the skewers. Brush the onions and tomatoes with oil. Grill, turning, until the tomatoes are charred and bursting and the onion slices are tender with brown edges, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the tomatoes and onions from the skewers, and chop. Mix with the parsley, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
• Cut the strings off the roulades with scissors, and slice the roulades on the bias. Serve with the relish.

CHEESY CURRY VEGGIE TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When it begins to foam, add the mushrooms, leeks and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring, until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the curry powder, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring. Add the cauliflower, tomatoes, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir, scraping up the spice paste from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the sauce has thickened and the cauliflower is tender, about 4 minutes. Remove the lid and, if necessary, continue to cook until the sauce is a thick, almost paste-like consistency and coats the vegetables, about 1 minute more. Transfer the filling to a medium bowl, and let cool completely. Stir in the peas.
• Unfold the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface, and roll it out into a 12-inch square.
• Quarter the dough to make 4 equal squares. Put a quarter of the filling in the center of each square. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the Cheddar on the top of each mound. Brush the edges of each square with the beaten egg, then fold 1 corner on top of the opposite corner, making a triangle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Press along the edges with the back of a fork to create a pattern and seal the turnover. Brush each turnover with egg, and make 3 small slits on the top. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons of the remaining Cheddar.
• Bake until the turnovers are golden brown and bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve hot with mango chutney if using.

PORK ROULADE WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND SAUSAGE STUFFING AND MUSTARD MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the roulade: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the pine nuts onto a small sheet tray and place in the oven to toast, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Set up a large pot of well-salted boiling water. Set up a large bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the broccoli rabe for 1 minute until bright green and tender, but still crisp. Remove from the boiling water and plunge immediately into the ice bath. Once cool, remove from the ice bath and use your hands to squeeze out excess water. Finely chop the broccoli rabe and add to a large bowl with the sausage, pine nuts, parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg and crushed red pepper. Sprinkle with salt.
• Heat a small saute pan over medium-high heat with a little olive oil. Take a small amount of filling and cook a small tester patty to test for seasoning. Adjust the seasoning on the remaining raw mixture if needed.
• Trim any excess fat from the pork chops. Cut the pork lengthwise to butterfly, then pound to an even thickness of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Lay a large piece of caul fat out on a large, flat work surface. Place 4 slices of prosciutto over the caul fat, followed by the pounded pork loin on top of the prosciutto. Set half the broccoli rabe and sausage filling on top of the pork loin and shape into a thin log. Wrap the prosciutto and pork loin around the filling and roll into a tight log. Wrap the caul fat around the stuffed pork, cutting off any excess from the ends, making sure the caul fat is in one even layer around the pork. Tie with butcher's twine to secure and trim any excess string. Repeat with the remaining pork and filling.
• Heat a large saute pan with olive oil over high heat. Sear the roulades, turning on all sides, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the pork to a sheet tray and place into the oven and reserve the pan that the pork was cooked in. Roast the pork at 375 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer registers 150 degrees F. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove the string.
• Place the pan that the pork was cooked in back onto medium-high heat and drain off any remaining fat. Add the shallot and cook for 2 minutes until tender. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and stir, making sure to scrape the bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until almost all of the liquid has reduced, then add half the chicken stock. Continue to cook until the liquid has reduced by half, then add the remaining chicken stock. Cook until slightly reduced then remove from heat.
• Slice the pork into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Plate alongside the mashed potatoes and a drizzle of sauce over the pork.
• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan. Add cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 to 2 inches and generously season with kosher salt. Bring the pot of water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Drain the potatoes and add back to the large saucepan. Using an electric hand mixer, mix the potatoes and gradually add the butter and warmed heavy cream, alternating, until the potatoes reach a creamy and silky consistency. You may not need to use all the heavy cream. Add the whole-grain mustard, Dijon mustard and kosher salt to taste and mix thoroughly to combine. Makes 4 servings
