Pork And Apple Salad Recipes

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLE AND ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Season the pork all over with salt and pepper. Combine the mustard, maple syrup, sage, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Rub all over the pork and set aside to marinate while you prepare the salad.
• Meanwhile, with a sharp paring knife, remove the peel and pith from the oranges. Working over a large bowl, cut along the membranes to remove the segments. Squeeze the membranes to release any remaining juice into the bowl. Add the apple, radicchio, parsley, walnuts and remaining 1 tablespoon each olive oil and lemon juice to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil. Add the pork to the pan and drizzle with any remaining marinade. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 135˚ F, 15 to 20 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and broil until the marinade is browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
• Slice the pork and serve with the apple and orange salad.

PORK ROAST WITH CARAMELIZED APPLE SALAD WITH MAYTAG BLUE AND SPICY ORANGE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• For the Roast: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper and sear well on all sides. Drain off the fat, and add the remaining ingredients to the pot. Place in the oven and cook until the internal temperature of the meat registers 150 degrees F, about 2 hours. Remove the meat to a plate and remove the vegetables and herbs with a slotted spoon. Add more water if needed. Bring the cooking liquid to a boil and reduce by half. Whisk in the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• For the Spicy Orange Vinaigrette: Place orange juice in a small nonreactive pan over high heat and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup. Place reduced orange juice, vinegar, onion, jalapeno and ancho powder in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until emulsified. Add the honey and salt and pepper to taste.
• For the Apple Salad: Heat 3/4 cup of the Spicy Orange Vinaigrette in a medium saute pan over medium high heat. Add the apples, cut-side down and saute until golden brown, turn over and saute until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the watercress and frisee in a medium bowl and toss with a few tablespoons of the remaining Spicy Orange Vinaigrette, season with salt and pepper and divide among 4 plates. Arrange 2 apple quarters on each plate, garnish with walnuts and blue cheese and drizzle with some of the remaining vinaigrette.

• Pour in the stock and spoon in the mustard, then return the pork to the pan and simmer for 10 mins until the sauce has reduced by about a third and the pork is cooked through. Serve with veg and mashed potatoes.
