PORK TENDERLOIN STUFFED WITH HERBS AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Slice pork tenderloin lengthwise to butterfly it, but don't quite slice all the way through: The 2 pieces should remain attached. Season with salt and pepper, then let sit while you prepare filling.
• In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Stir in shallots, 1/2 tablespoon capers, 2 teaspoons sage, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1 teaspoon thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Stirring frequently, cook until shallots start to brown, about 5 minutes, then stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. (Adjust heat if necessary to prevent burning.) Transfer to a plate to cool slightly. Wipe out skillet and reserve.
• Spread cooled filling evenly on pork, then close pork, along the hinge, like a book. Then fold the thinner end up against the thicker portion so that pork is the same width all over. Tie with kitchen twine at 1 1/2-inch intervals.
• In the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat until oil is hot but not smoking. Place tenderloin seam-side up in the skillet, then transfer to oven and roast for 15 minutes. Flip pork over and continue roasting until meat reaches 140 to 145 degrees in the center, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer meat to a cutting board to rest; reserve skillet and juices.
• While the meat rests, make the sauce: Heat skillet over medium-high heat, then stir in vermouth and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each sage, rosemary and thyme, scraping up the browned bits on bottom of pan. Cook until vermouth is almost evaporated, then add orange juice and stock, and cook over medium-high heat until thickened and syrupy. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons capers, their liquid and the butter; season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce tastes too sweet, add a squeeze of lemon juice.
• To serve, slice pork into 1/2-inch-thick slices and top with sauce and fresh thyme.

CHEESE-STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• To Make the Pepper Paste: Combine the sweet paprika and the smoked paprika, the wine, garlic (to taste), crumbled bay leaves, tomato paste, lemon juice, cilantro, parsley, salt, white pepper and piri-piri sauce (to taste) in the bowl of food processor or blender; pulse until the garlic and herbs are minced, stopping to scrape down any chunky bits from the sides of the bowl or jar.
• With the motor running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream to form a homogenous dark-red paste; this should take 1 to 2 minutes. Use the mixture immediately, or transfer it to a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for up to 1 month.
• Make the Tenderloin:Use a metal skewer to poke a center channel running the length of each tenderloin half. Widen the channel to about 1/2 inch in diameter, then carefully stuff the cheese into the pork.
• Place the stuffed tenderloin halves in a large (2-gallon) plastic food storage bag, then use a wide knife to cover the meat with the red pepper paste. Carefully invert the bag, holding the tenderloin halves in place, then repeat to cover the rest of the meat, using all of the paste. Season with the black pepper. Seal and refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and crank up the heat to 400 degrees. Remove the pork from the fridge and let it sit for 20 minutes. Have a large rimmed baking sheet ready, preferably with an uncoated wire rack nested in it.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tenderloin halves (with the paste on them) and sear for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until well browned all around. The skillet will be used to make a sauce; drain off any fat and keep it on the stove top (off the heat).
• Use tongs to transfer the tenderloin halves to the rack. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat (and not into the cheese) registers just under 150 degrees. Let them rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Some of the cheese may ooze out as the meat roasts; this is okay. Use a knife to gently push it back into its channel.
• While the tenderloins are roasting, place the skillet over high heat, then add the white wine. Bring to a boil, using a wooden spoon or spatula to dislodge any browned bits. Add the beef broth and return the mixture to a boil; cook for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced to 1 cup. Remove from the heat.
• To serve, cut the pieces of each tenderloin half on the bias into 2 pieces. Lay one half in the center of each plate; if desired, lean the other against it at a jaunty angle. Drizzle equal amounts of the sauce over each portion. Garnish with the parsley; serve warm.
