Grilled Pork Loin Stuffed With Chard Fennel And Olives Recipes

GRILLED STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and lightly oil the grates. Butterfly the pork: Slice almost in half lengthwise, stopping about 1/2 inch from cutting through; open like a book and flatten with your hands. Cover with plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2 inch thick with the flat side of a meat mallet or a heavy skillet.
• Rub the pork with the grated garlic and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the red peppers on top of the pork in a single layer, then the basil and mozzarella, leaving a 1-inch border on one long side. Roll up from the opposite long side into a tight log and tie with kitchen twine in three or four places. Rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
• Grill the pork, covered and turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the meat (not the filling) registers 145 degrees F, 12 to 14 minutes. Let rest about 5 minutes, then slice.
• Meanwhile, strip the kale leaves from the stems and tear into pieces. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the kale, smashed garlic and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until the kale is tender, about 5 minutes. Roughly chop the giardiniera and stir into the kale until heated through, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Divide among plates and serve with the pork.

LOIN OF PORK WITH FENNEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the stuffing, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan. Add the onions and fennel with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook over low to medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions and fennel are tender and lightly browned. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 more minute. Add the Pernod and cook for another minute, deglazing the pan. Cool slightly.
• Add the bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon of salt to the stuffing mixture. Lay the pork on a board fat side down, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing evenly on the pork and roll up lengthwise, ending with the fat on the top of the roll. Tie with kitchen string, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
• Place the rolled pork loin on a baking rack on a sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F and roast for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the interior of the pork is 137 degrees F. (If the thermometer hits stuffing rather than pork, it will register a higher temperature, so test the meat in several places.) Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the strings, slice thickly, and serve.

GRILLED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Heat the grill. Preheat your grill to 350 degrees F for 2-zone cooking (one indirect side of heat, one direct heat side).
• Prep the roast. Trim any excess silverskin. You can leave a small fat cap on the top of the roast. Drizzle the roast with olive oil and season with chicken seasoning.
• Grill the pork loin. Place the seasoned pork loin directly on the grill grates over indirect heat. Cook the roast for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
• Rest, slice, and serve. Remove the pork from the grill and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Slice into 1/4 inch slices and serve.

ROAST LOIN OF PORK WITH FENNEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• With a mortar and pestle, or in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, grind together the garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, and thyme leaves. Add the mustard. Spread the mixture over the loin of pork and allow it to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the fennel bulbs in thick wedges, cutting through the core. Toss the fennel, carrots, potatoes, and onions in a bowl with the olive oil, melted butter, salt, and pepper to taste. Place the vegetables in a large roasting pan and cook for 30 minutes. Add the pork loin to the pan and continue to cook for another 30 to 50 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the middle of the pork reads exactly 138 degrees. Remove the meat from the pan and return the vegetables to the oven to keep cooking. Cover the meat with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the strings from the meat and slice it thickly. Arrange the meat and vegetables on a platter. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve warm.

GRILLED PORK LOIN STUFFED WITH CHARD, FENNEL, AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Prepare a hot fire (450°F) in a wood-fired grill.
• To make the brine, dissolve the salt and sugar in the water. Add the pork loin to the brine and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours. Rinse the pork loin, pat dry with paper towels, and allow to come to room temperature.
• To make the stuffing, blanch the chard leaves in salted water for 1 minute, then immediately place in a bowl of ice water. Drain and dry the leaves on paper towels. Heat the 1/4 cup olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat and add the green garlic. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes, then add the fennel bulb and cook until the fennel is soft, about 7 minutes. Add the olives and wine. Cook until the wine is almost evaporated. Add the orange zest, parsley, fennel seed, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Unroll the pork and trim off any fat. Slice the pork into thirds lengthwise, cutting to about 1/2 inch from all the way through. Open and lay the pork flat. Place plastic wrap over the pork and, using a flat meat pounder or small skillet, flatten to any even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Lay the blanched chard leaves over the pork to create a lining. Spread the fennel stuffing mixture over the chard to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Roll the pork up jelly-roll style, starting with one long side, and secure every 2 inches with kitchen string.
• Lightly brush with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Place the pork on the grill and rotate until all sides are golden and lightly crisp, about 10 minutes. Move the roast to the side of the grill, away from direct heat. Cover and cook, turning the meat every 5 minutes or so, for 20 minutes, or until the roast is evenly golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat (not the stuffing) registers 145°F. Transfer the meat to a carving board, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 15 minutes. Remove the strings and cut the meat into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Serve topped with the walnut sauce.
• Toasted Walnut Sauce
• Soak the bread in enough milk to cover. Add the mixture to a food processor along with the walnuts, garlic, and thyme. Pulse into a paste. Add salt and white pepper to taste. With the machine running, add the olive oil. Add milk as necessary to achieve a sauce-like consistency. Add red pepper flakes to taste. Use now, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BALSAMIC HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• Mix garlic, onion, and chili powders with paprika and salt. Rub mixture all over pork tenderloin.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add pork and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Wrap tenderloin in aluminum foil.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill the pork in its foil for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard together with the remaining olive oil. Unwrap pork on the grill and liberally brush the glaze on all sides. Continue grilling, brushing on more glaze, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 10 minutes more.
• Allow to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes before cutting. Drizzle with any remaining glaze if desired.

ROLLED PORK LOIN ROAST STUFFED WITH OLIVES AND HERBS

Steps:

• Set the loin on a cutting board with one of the short, cut ends facing you. With a sharp knife, make a lengthwise horizontal cut, about a third of the way up one of the long sides, like asymmetrically splitting open a hot dog bun. Don't cut all the way through, but nearly-far enough so that you can open up the roast like a book. If you started on the right, the left side will now be twice as thick as the right. At the hinge where they meet, make another horizontal cut midway up the left (thicker) side, so that you can open the roast again, like a magazine gatefold. Sprinkle the pork all over with the salt and pepper and set it aside.
• Heat the oven to 425°F and make the stuffing by mixing all the remaining ingredients together (except the cooking oil). Spread the stuffing over the cut side of the pork loin, then roll it up and back into shape. Using cotton string, bind the roast with six little string belts.
• Heat a skillet to high, add the cooking oil, and then carefully lay in the pork roast. Brown the roast on all sides and then put the skillet in the oven. Roast until it is just cooked through, about 20 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it rest on a platter in a warm place for 10 minutes. Remove the strings, slice, and serve.

SPICY GRILLED PORK WITH FENNEL, CUMIN AND RED ONION

Steps:

• Season pork lightly with kosher salt and put it in a bowl or resealable bag.
• Juice the lime into a blender or food processor and add cilantro, fish sauce, garlic, jalapeño and honey. Blend until the jalapeño and garlic are puréed, then add fennel, cumin, coriander seeds and pulse four or five times to bruise the spices and mix them in.
• Pour mixture over the pork, tossing to coat the pieces. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes while you heat the grill, or up to 24 hours.
• When ready to cook, heat the grill or broiler with a rack positioned 4 inches from the heat source.
• Thread the pork onto skewers, leaving a little space between cubes. Grill over the highest heat possible, or broil on high, for 2 to 5 minutes, then flip the skewers and continue cooking until the meat is browned all over and charred in spots. It should be just cooked through: A little pink is OK, but there shouldn't be any red spots.
• Serve the pork with cilantro sprigs and onion slices on top, and lime wedges on the side for squeezing.

GRILLED STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of each tenderloin to within 1/2 in. of bottom. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the wine or broth, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic, curry, ginger and pepper; add pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2-3 hours. , In a small saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Stir in stuffing mix. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
