PORK CHOPS WITH MORELS

Steps:

• Wash the morels in two to three changes of water. Pat them dry and cut them into halves or quarters, according to their size.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Fry chops in a small roasting pan for three minutes on each side in a tablespoon of butter and oil until each side is brown. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the fat from the pan and place the chops and the pan in the oven for six to eight minutes. Remove the chops from the oven and keep them warm on a plate.
• Make the sauce. Cook the morels in the remaining butter for three minutes. Add the sherry and reduce by half. Add the cream and simmer until the sauce has a velvety consistency. Correct seasoning and add lemon juice to taste. Place chops on a serving dish and reheat in the oven for two to three minutes. Add any juices released by the chops to the sauce. Pour sauce over and around chops, sprinkle with tarragon and serve.

PORK LOIN WITH MOREL STUFFING

Steps:

• In a small bowl soak morels in boiling water for 30 minutes and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Pour soaking liquid through a sieve lined with a dampened coffee filter or paper towel into a small saucepan and simmer until reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 10 minutes. Add one third morels and reserve. Finely chop remaining morels. Morels may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a large skillet heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté shallot and garlic until softened. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in chopped morels, bread crumbs, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Stuffing may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring stuffing to room temperature before proceeding.
• To make a hole for stuffing that runs through center of pork loin, pat loin dry and, beginning in the middle of one end, with a long, thin, sharp knife make a lengthwise incision toward center of loin. Repeat procedure from opposite end of loin (to complete hole running through middle). With handle of wooden spoon or your fingers open up incision to create a 1 1/2-inch wide opening. Working from both ends of loin, pack stuffing into opening, pushing towards center. Season outside of loin with salt and pepper.
• In skillet heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil over high heat until hot and just about smoking, and brown loin on all sides, about 1 1/2 minutes total. Transfer loin to a flameproof roasting pan and roast in middle of oven for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted in center of meat (but to the side of the stuffing) registers 160°F. Transfer loin to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
• While loin is standing, on top of stove add lime juice to roasting pan and deglaze over moderate heat, scraping up brown bits. Add stock or demiglace and reserved morel liquid with morels and simmer sauce, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
• Slice pork loin and serve with sauce.
