Creole Style Pork Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Make slits in the top of the roast.
• Add 1 tbsp creole seasoning to the vegetable mixture and stuff into slits.
• Rub seasoning over the outside of the roast.
• Place on roaster uncovered at 350F until roast is browned.
• Reduce heat to 300F cover and continue to cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Steps:

• To prepare the brine, bring 6 cups water, the salt, sugar, peppercorns, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and onion to a simmer in a medium pot over medium heat. Stir until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the ice cubes to cool.
• Place the pork loin in large freezer bag (or large plastic container with a lid). Pour the brine into the freezer bag, submerging the roast completely, seal, and set aside for 2 hours.
• Preheat the grill and set up two zones-one hot for searing and another medium for cooking through.
• Using the tip of a paring knife, pierce the casing of the sausage all over (this will ensure the flavor of the sausage goes into the pork as it cooks). Remove the pork from the brine and pat it dry with paper towels. Using a clean honing steel, poke a hole into the center of the loin lengthwise and work it all the way through so it creates a cavity. Insert the sausage into the cavity so that it sits neatly within the roast. Season the roast with salt, pepper, granulated garlic, paprika, and cumin.
• Wipe down the grates of the grill with oil-blotted towels. Place the roast on the hot part of the grill and sear fat side down, 3 to 4 minutes, and then on each of the three other sides. Transfer the roast to the cooler part of the grill (indirect heat) and cook until the internal temperature hits 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 45 to 55 minutes. Set the roast on a platter and tent with foil. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes before carving into thick slices. Served drizzled with juices from the platter and the Creole mustard.
• Traditional Oven Cooking Method:
• Pan-roast the pork by searing the roast on all four sides in a hot cast-iron pan over high heat, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to a preheated 350 degrees F oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until cooked through to a temperature of 165 degrees F in the center. Rest the roast in the pan, then slice and serve with the pan juices and mustard.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in the cayenne, oregano, pepper, thyme, mustard, and garlic. Cook for 1 minute. Use a paring knife to make several small incisions in the fat side of the meat. Stuff the slits with the spice mix, and rub the remaining mix over the surface of the meat. Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a roasting pan over medium heat. Put the roast in the pan, and surround with the carrots, red pepper, celery, and onion. Lightly salt and pepper the vegetables. Place roasting pan in preheated oven, and cook for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F, and cook for an additional 15 minutes to brown the meat. Cook until meat is 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove roast from pan, and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
• Place the roasting pan, with the pan juices, over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the hot drippings, and cook for 3 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and cook, whisking occasionally, for 6 minutes. Strain sauce, and serve with the sliced pork roast.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the onion, green pepper, garlic and celery in food processor or blender. Process until finely chopped. Stir in some creole seasoning.
• 2. Cut slits across the roast about 1/2 inch deep. Pack the vegetable mixture into the slits. Coat the roast generously with the bacon gease. Rub the creole seasoning all over the outside of the roast.
• 3. Brown all sides of the roast on the top of the stove. Just enough on each side to slightly color it. Then place the roast in a roasting pan and cook uncover for an hour. Cover with foil and continue cooking for about 3 more hours.
• 4. After the roast is done, you can skim off some of the excess fat and thicken the drippings with a mixture of chicken broth and flour if you want to make a thickened gravy.
• 5. Serve with rice or potatoes and smother with the delicious gravy.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; rub over both sides of pork. , In a large skillet, cook chops in oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until chops are lightly browned; drain. Add the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook 4-6 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place a wide nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat and add the pork fat trimmings. Add pork roast and brown well on all sides. Remove to a plate and set aside. Add onion to hot pan and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes depending on thickness of slices.
• Meanwhile, in a 4-quart or larger electric slow cooker, combine onion, garlic, bell pepper, and bay leaf.
• Place pork on top of onion mixture; sprinkle with black pepper, thyme, and red pepper. Pour in tomatoes. Cover and cook at low setting until pork is very tender when pierced (7 ½ to 8 hours).
• Carefully remove pork to a warm platter and keep warm. In small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in water. Skim and discard fat from cooking liquid, then blend in the cornstarch mixture. Increase cooker heat setting to high; cover and cook, stirring 2 or 3 times, until sauce is thickened (10 to 15 more minutes). Season to taste with salt.
• To serve, slice pork across the grain. Spoon some of the sauce over pork; sprinkle with parsley. Serve remaining sauce separately.
