An Autumn Pot Roast Dinner With Cider Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• For the pork: Mix together the mustard and apple cider and brush all sides of the pork loin and ribs with the mixture. Liberally sprinkle the pork loin and ribs with the smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 tablespoons cracked black pepper. Add some oil to a cast-iron skillet or roasting pan, then place the rack of ribs, curved-side down, in the skillet and place the loin, fat-side up, on top of the ribs. Roast until the internal temperature of the loin reaches 145 degrees F, about 30 minutes.
• While the pork begins to roast, cut the carrots, parsnips, potatoes and turnips into wedges using an oblique cut: Place a vegetable on a cutting board and hold your knife at a 45-degree angle to the vegetable. Cutting roughly 1-inch slices on the diagonal, roll the vegetable a quarter turn toward you each time you make a cut so you're cutting point to point until the vegetable is completely cut. Add the carrots, parsnips, potatoes, turnips, garlic and thyme to the skillet with the pork roast. Drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return the skillet to the oven and continue to cook until the loin reaches 145 degrees F.
• Transfer the pork loin to a cutting board to rest and tent with foil. Return the skillet to the oven and cook until the ribs and vegetables are cooked through, about 30 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the oven, transfer the vegetables to a platter and transfer the ribs to a cutting board.
• For the pan gravy: Heat the same skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until it absorbs the fat in the skillet. Slowly whisk in the cider and 1 cup water and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly to smooth out any lumps, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley and set aside.
• Cut the rack of ribs into individual ribs and scatter over the roasted vegetables. Slice the pork loin and shingle onto the platter. Spoon the pan gravy over the top and serve.

Steps:

• Sprinkle salt, black pepper, parsley, and oregano evenly over beef pot roast. Place roast in a slow cooker; add potatoes, carrots, tomato, and onion atop the beef. Pour tomato sauce and water over the beef and vegetables.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine apple cider, tomato juice, ketchup, sugar, salt and pepper and set aside.
• Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium heat; add garlic and saute it for about 1 minutes. Add the roast, and turn with tongs to brown on each side. Pour the reserved liquid mixture over the roast, then cover the Dutch oven. Simmer for 2 hours, then add the carrots and onions; cover and cook for another hour longer or until meat and vegetables are tender. Remove roast and vegetables to a serving platter; tent with foil to keep warm.
• After de-fatting pan juices, add water measure 3 cups. Mix flour and cold water until smooth and stir into pan juices. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Slice roast and add back to Dutch oven with vegetables. Pour in gravy. Turn to coat evenly with gravy, then transfer to serving platter to serve.

Steps:

• In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over a medium flame until hot.
• Rinse-off the roast and pat dry with paper towels. Combine the cumin, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger in small bowl. Rub the spice mixture on both sides of the roast; transfer it to the stockpot/Dutch oven and brown evenly on both sides.
• Remove the roast; pour off the drippings and season it with salt and pepper.
• To the drippings in the stockpot/Dutch oven, add the onions and cook for about 3 minutes while stirring frequently.
• Add the garlic to the onions; continue cooking and stirring for 2 more minutes.
• Combine the soup mix and water; pour into the stockpot/Dutch oven. Add the apple cider and brown sugar; increase the flame to medium-high and give a good stir.
• Cook and stir the cider mixture until the browned bits attached to the stockpot/Dutch oven are dissolved, about 1 - 2 minutes.
• Return the roast to the stockpot/Dutch oven and place sprigs of thyme on top; bring to a boil. Reduce the flame; cover tightly and simmer for 2-1/2 hours.
• Sprinkle the nutmeg and cinnamon over the butternut squash and sweet potatoes, add to the roast along with the mushrooms. Continue simmering, covered for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables and roast are fork-tender.
• Discard thyme sprigs. Remove roast and potatoes to serving platter and keep warm; reserve juices.
• Skim fat from juices; stir in the cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened.
• Carve roast into slices and serve with the vegetables and gravy.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/ 200C fan/ gas 7. Score the skin of the pork and rub with olive oil and sea salt. Put the pork, leeks, carrots, turnip and herbs in large high-sided roasting pan and pour in the cider and stock. Roast for 30 minutes, then take the roasting tray out of the oven and cover tightly with foil. Return to the oven and turn the heat to 150C/ 130C fan/ gas 2.
• After 4 hours, remove the foil, turn the oven back up again to 220C/ 200C fan/ gas 7 and roast for another 30 minutes.
• Take the pork out of the oven, remove the meat, cover and set aside to rest. Drain the cooking liquid, pouring off any excess fat. Either serve or discard the cooking vegetables.
• To make the gravy, melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the flour, cook for 2 minutes then whisk in the cooking liquid. Simmer for a few minutes. Serve alongside the meat. Delicious with braised red cabbage and roast potatoes.
