Close Roasted Pork With Ancho Cinnamon And Coccoa Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Whisk together the honey, 2 tablespoons ancho, the mustard and chile de arbol in a small bowl until smooth then season with salt and pepper. Set aside. (If you can make this glaze at least 30 minutes before using, it will be more flavorful.)
• Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Season the pork on both sides with salt, pepper and ancho powder. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat until it shimmers. Add the pork and cook on all sides until golden brown and a crust has formed, about 12 minutes total. Brush both sides with some of the glaze.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, about 12 minutes.
• Brush the top with the glaze several times while roasting. Remove to a cutting board and brush the top of the pork with more glaze. Let rest for 10 minutes then cut into thick slices. Garnish with the chives and scallions and serve.

Steps:

• For the spice rub: Toast the ancho chile pieces over low heat in a dry skillet until fragrant, shaking the pan so they don't scorch. Put the chiles in spice grinder and pulse to a powder. Add the remaining ingredients and buzz again to combine. (Reserve some to sprinkle on the corn.)
• For the pork: Rub the spice mix into the pork and set aside for 1 hour while you prepare the grill. (You can marinate the pork longer under refrigeration, just make sure to bring it to room temperature before cooking it.) Light the coals in a barbecue grill with a cover. When the coals are hot, push them to 1 side of the grill. Rub the pork with some olive oil and season it liberally with salt. Put the pork on the grill away from the coals and place a drip pan underneath the meat. Close the cover and cook, maintaining a medium low temperature, for about 4 to 6 hours, or until the meat shreds easily. Turn the meat occasionally and baste with the drippings.
• For the drizzling sauce: Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth; taste and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over the shredded pork.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• For the sauce: Heat the oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook until the onion is tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in the cocoa powder. Add the broth, rosemary, vinegar and tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Cover the pan. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat.
• For the pork: Whisk the cocoa powder, allspice, dark brown sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl to blend.
• Place the pork on a heavy nonstick baking sheet. Rub the allspice mixture over the pork. Drizzle with olive oil and roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Tent loosely with foil and let rest 10 minutes.
• Cut the pork crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices on a platter. Spoon the sauce over the pork and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, toast white peppercorns and coriander seeds until they begin to pop. Remove from heat and grind to fine powder in a spice mill or coffee grinder. Mix the ground pepper and coriander with remaining spices, cocoa and salt.
• Trim the pork tenderloins of fat and silver skin. Rub with a generous amount of the cocoa spice rub. Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat until hot but not smoking. Sear each tenderloin on all sides until a rich brown color, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove tenderloins from heat and finish in the oven for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.
• Let the tenderloins rest out of the oven for at least 10 minutes before carving.
• Extra cocoa spice rub will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a food processor, combine garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, thyme leaves and mustard.
• Spread the mixture over the pork and allow it to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• In the meantime, slice fennel bulbs into thick wedges.
• Toss the fennel, carrots, potatoes, and onions in olive oil, melted butter, salt, and pepper to taste.
• Place the vegetables in a large roasting pan and cook for 30 minutes.
• Place the pork loin on top of the roasted vegetables and continue to cook for another 30 to 50 minutes (or when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loin reads 138 degrees.).
• Remove the meat from the pan and return the vegetables to the oven to keep cooking.
• Cover the meat with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for 15 minutes.
• Remove the strings from the meat and slice it thickly.
• Arrange the meat and vegetables on a platter.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
• Enjoy warm!

Steps:

• 1. Season the meat. In a small bowl, combine the mole seasoning, salt, and sugar. Rub all over the pork shoulder and place on a plate. Marinate for 1 hour unrefrigerated, or 2 to 24 hours refrigerated. 2. Prepare the meat for roasting. Preheat the oven to 275 F. Place the pork in a Dutch oven or deep-lidded roaster just big enough to hold the roast snugly. Scatter the garlic cloves around the roast. Place a large piece of aluminum foil over the pot, then press the lid down securely. Alternatively, wrap the meat in a tightly sealed foil package (make sure the seam is at the top so the juices don't leak out) and place the package in an ovenproof skillet or casserole. 3. Roast the meat. Roast the pork until very tender and practically falling apart, 3-3/4 to 4 hours. Transfer the roast to a platter and cover with foil. 4. Defat the roasting juices. Pour the juices into a sauceboat and place in the freezer for 10 minutes. Spoon off the fat that has risen to the top. 5. Serve the meat. Pull the meat apart or slice it across the grain and arrange on a platter. Pour some of the juices over and pass the rest. Save any remaining juices for heating up leftovers.

Mole-Inspired Seasoning with Ancho, Cinnamon, and Cocoa Makes about 1/3 cup This mix evokes the flavors of moles, the complex chile-based Mexican sauces. It is especially delicious on pork-roasts, chops, or tenderloin. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons ancho chile powder and/or pimentón de la Vera (sweet, not hot), 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1-1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. For each pound of meat, combine 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon grated garlic, and 1 to 2 teaspoons spice mixture
