Seven Day Pickled Pork Recipes

PICKLED PORK

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients except the ice and the pork in a 2-quart nonreactive saucepan, set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and maintain a simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the ice and stir. Place the pork into a 1-gallon zip top bag and add the cooled pickling liquid. Remove as much air as possible; seal the bag and place in the refrigerator for at least 3 days, turning the bag occasionally. Use within 2 weeks or remove from the pork from the brine and freeze.

PICKLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the remaining brine ingredients and set aside to cool. Place the tenderloins in the brine, cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
• To cook, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Heat the oil in an ovenproof skillet over high heat. Sear the tenderloins all over. Then transfer to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Cut the meat into 1/4- inch diagonal slices across the grain and fan on serving plates. Top with the Orange Cilantro Salsa and serve.
• Combine the oranges, cilantro, jalapeno, onion, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

HAND OF PICKLED PORK WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Drain pork and place in cold water to cover. Bring to boil and cook 50 minutes. Add carrots and cook 30 minutes more. Let cool in water. Drain and reserve carrots. Remove skin from pork and carve into thick slices. Set aside.
• Melt butter in small saucepan, then add flour. Stir to form a roux and cook on low heat for 1 minute. Add hot stock, whisking to form a smooth sauce. Add mustard and lemon juice. Cook 12 minutes, then season with salt and white pepper.
• Combine egg yolks with a little bit of the sauce, whisk well and add this back to saucepan, whisking over gentle heat. Place pork on serving platter and nap with sauce. Garnish with parsley and surround by cooked carrots. Serve with Bennet Potatoes.
• Preheat oil to 400 degrees F. Combine mashed potatoes with chives and fold in egg whites. Fill piping bag with 1/2-inch plain nozzle. Pipe pieces into hot oil and cook 2 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels and dust with parsley.

PEPPERCORN PORK CHOPS WITH WARM PICKLED PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Place all peppercorns on a cutting board and use the flat bottom of a heavy pan to crush them as finely or coarsely as you like. Transfer crushed pepper into the pan.
• Make 3 cuts through the fat on each pork chop and season generously with salt. Apply a generous coating of crushed peppercorns to both sides, pressing into the meat firmly as you do, until fully coated.
• Transfer chops to a rack set over a pan and let sit out at room temperature for 1 hour, turning halfway through and reapplying crushed peppercorns as necessary. Or, place in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours.
• Meanwhile, prepare the pepper relish while the chops are dry-brining: combine poblano pepper, orange and red bell peppers, garlic, salt, cayenne, and rice vinegar. Mix to combine and cover with plastic wrap. Leave on the counter for 1 hour.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat until very hot and starting to shimmer. Add pork chops and sear for 5 minutes per side. Use tongs to turn chops while you brown the edges for another 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium if the pan is too hot and begins to smoke. Chops should firm up and spring back to the touch. Do not overcook. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Turn off the heat and transfer chops to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and let rest.
• Add chicken broth to the hot pan. Turn heat to high and bring to a rolling boil. Add pickled pepper relish and stir with a spoon, scraping all the bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until liquid in the pan reduces by about half, about 3 minutes.
• Turn off the heat. Add cold butter and any accumulated juices from the plate of pork and stir until butter has melted.
• Serve pork chops with plenty of hot pickled pepper relish over top.
