Roasted Pork With Smoky Red Pepper Sauce Recipes

NEAPOLITAN RED PEPPER PORK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F or preheat a grill over high heat. Rub the peppers with canola oil, put them on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. They can also be grilled until blackened all over. Remove the peppers to a bowl and cover the bowl. Let rest until cool enough to handle, then remove the skin and seeds and dice. Do not rinse.
• Put a Dutch oven on the stove top over high heat, coat with some canola oil and add the capicola. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes. Season the ribs with salt and pepper and add them to the pot with 3 tablespoons of oil. Brown well on all sides, then remove them to a plate. Add the onions and saute until they are starting to caramelize, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the capers and caper juice. Mix to combine and allow the mixture to caramelize a bit more. Deglaze with the white wine. Stir in the agave, chicken stock and red wine vinegar. Bring to a boil, then add the seared ribs along with the diced peppers.
• Cover and bake for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove the pork from the oven to a serving platter and serve with the sauce.
• Guy's tip: you can uncover 3/4 of the way through to allow the sauce to reduce for serving. Another alternative is to remove the Dutch oven from the oven, put the pork onto a serving platter and simmer the sauce over high heat to reduce for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

PORK CHOP AND ROASTED RED PEPPER BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking pan with foil or coat with nonstick spray. Combine flour and bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. In a small bowl, beat eggs and water together.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Dip chops in egg mixture, dredge in flour and crumb mixture, and arrange chops in hot skillet. Lightly brown chops until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Remove from skillet, and place on prepared baking pan. Top chops with strips of roasted red peppers. Set aside.
• In small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Slowly add flour, stirring with whisk until light brown. Slowly whisk milk into flour, and continue whisking until sauce thickens. Remove from heat, and stir in mushrooms and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Evenly top each chop with mushroom white sauce.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

MEDALLIONS OF PORK WITH SWEET RED-PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Place pork slices on a flat surface. Pound meat lightly with a mallet and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the slices in one layer. When oil is very hot, add meat and cook over moderately high heat for 5 minutes or until brown.
• Turn slices and cook for about 5 minutes more. Reduce heat and continue cooking about 2 minutes longer. Turn slices occasionally.
• Transfer meat to a warm serving dish and keep warm.
• Pour off most of the fat from skillet. Add onions and red peppers. Cook, stirring, until peppers are wilted, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, briefly. Add broth, cumin, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf.
• Place mixture in a food processor or blender. Add butter and lemon juice and pulse to blend to a fine texture. Return mixture to skillet and add pork slices with their drippings. Bring to a simmer and serve immediately. Sprinkle with coriander.
