Pork With Persimmons And Mustard Greens Recipes

PORK WITH PERSIMMONS AND MUSTARD GREENS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Season pork with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place pork in a 12-inch cast-iron or other heavy ovenproof skillet.
• Toss persimmons and garlic with oil; season with salt and pepper. Scatter around pork. Roast 15 minutes. Turn over persimmons, and continue to roast until pork reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest 15 minutes (pork will continue to cook as it cools). Meanwhile, if persimmons are still firm, roast until fork-tender.
• Transfer persimmons to a serving platter. Add mustard greens to pan. Season with salt, and saute over medium heat until tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer greens to platter. Add wine to pan, and cook until reduced by two-thirds. Thinly slice pork, and arrange on top of the persimmons and greens. Spoon sauce over top, and serve.

CREAMY MUSTARD PORK

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the pork and fry for 2 minutes over a high heat. Toss in the onion, garlic and mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the crème frâiche and mustard, then tear in the basil. As soon as the crème frâiche has gone runny, remove the pan from the heat. Serve with rice and seasonal vegetables.

MUSTARD GREENS WITH PORK, STIR-FRIED

Steps:

• Leaving the greens tied in a bunch, cut off half an inch of stem and chop the greens into three-inch lengths, separating stems from leafy part. Slice the pork thin, then shred.
• Combine the cornstarch, sherry and sugar and mix well. Add the oyster and soy sauces and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a wok or skillet. Add the ginger, garlic and scallions and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the pork and stir-fry for one minute. Add the mustard green stems and stir-fry for one minute. Add the leaves and stir-fry for 30 seconds, then add the sauce. Stir-fry for a few more seconds until well mixed. Serve immediately.
