Roasted Pork Loin With Spanish Onion And Vermouth Recipes

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH SPANISH ONION AND VERMOUTH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Season the pork loin with the Chinese five-spice powder, salt and pepper.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat with the oil until it begins to smoke. Sear the pork on all sides until caramelized, and set aside.
• Return the pan to the heat and lower to medium. Add the tarragon, thyme and garlic and cook until the garlic is lightly browned. Add the vermouth and chicken stock and reduce the liquid by half. Stir in the cream, horseradish and mustard, and season with salt and pepper.
• Place the roast in the center of a large baking dish or shallow casserole dish (large enough to fit it comfortably with room on the sides). Place the apples and onions in the dish, along with the tarragon sprigs on top of the vegetables. Spoon the liquid from the pan over the roast and place in the oven.
• Cook the roast until the internal temperature reads 150 degrees F, about 12 minutes per pound. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
• Top with the Gremolata and serve.
• Combine the parsley, olive oil, pistachios, breadcrumbs, garlic, lemon zest and some salt and pepper in a bowl.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
• Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté garlic until pale golden, about 30 seconds. Stir in panko, almonds, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon pimentón, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to a large plate.
• Stir together Madeira, remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 2 teaspoons pimentón, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Pat pork dry and rub all over with mixture. Pat three fourths of crumbs all over pork, pressing gently to adhere, then sprinkle tops with remaining crumbs.
• Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into meat registers 145 to 150°F, about 20 minutes. (Check after 15 minutes to see if crumbs are getting too dark; if they are, tent loosely with foil.) Transfer pork to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

• Remove rack from pan and discard herbs from rack. Straddle pan across 2 burners on medium heat. Add vermouth and mustard and deglaze by boiling, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until reduced by half. Add broth and simmer 3 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a 2-cup measure. If you have more than 1 1/2 cups, boil to reduce; if less, add water.
