Sweet Chili Pork Roast Recipes

SLOW-ROASTED SWEET CHILE PORK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, combine salt, pepper, granulated garlic, menudo spice mix, chile powder, cumin and brown sugar until well mixed. Place pork butt in large roasting pan, fat-side up. Rub the spice-and-brown sugar mixture all over the pork butt with lots of love! Cover the roasting pan with foil, being sure it is airtight. Roast for at least 12 hours; don't rush it! It should be so tender that the bone will fall out when the pork is done.

ROAST PORK WITH SWEET-AND-SOUR CHILE CILANTRO SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare pork loin:
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Coarsely crush coriander seeds with a mortar and pestle or an electric coffee/spice grinder, then stir together with bread crumbs, oil, pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
• Turn pork so a long side is closest to you and season with salt and pepper. Pat one third of seasoned crumbs onto pork, leaving a 2-inch border along top edge. Starting with side nearest you, roll meat into a cylinder and tie securely with kitchen string. Coat pork with remaining crumbs.
• Roast pork on a rack in a roasting pan in middle of oven 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer diagonally inserted at least 2 inches into meat registers 155°F, 1 to 1 1/4 hours more. Let pork stand, loosely covered, 10 minutes.
• Make sauce while pork roasts:
• Simmer bell pepper, caribe, honey, lime juice, and salt in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Cool sauce to warm or room temperature, then stir in cilantro just before serving.
• Slice pork and serve with sauce.

SWEET CHILI PORK ROAST

Steps:

• 1. Mix the spices and coffee into the sugar and coat the pork roast with it.
• 2. Place in a slow cooker on low for 8 hpours or on high for 3 1/2 hours. Serve with sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce. We served broccoli also

PRESSURE-COOKER THAI SWEET CHILI PORK BOWLS

Steps:

• Place pork in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Top with mushrooms, onion and red pepper. Whisk together hoisin sauce, chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger and rice vinegar; pour over vegetables. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 20 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally., Remove pork; shred with 2 forks. Return pork to pressure cooker; heat through. Sprinkle with cilantro and green onions; serve with rice, lime wedges, and Sriracha.

SWEET AND SPICY CHILI PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork, cooking 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove pan from heat and let pork stand for 30 seconds.
• While pork cooks, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, chile paste, hoisin and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
• Pour sauce over the pork, scraping the pan to loosen the fond. Turn the pork over to coat. (The recipe does not call for this, but I often will return over low heat just to make sure the sauce is heated through, if there is not enough residual heat in the skillet).
• Serve garnished with the green onion slices.
• I had a couple of thick boneless chops sitting around, so I cut them into thin, flat slices and cooked as above; then doubled the sauce ingredients, tossed it all together and served with saffron rice. A nice variation.
