Cumin Curry Pork Roast Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the pork with the cumin, salt, garam masala and cayenne. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Cover the split peas with boiling water to cover by 2 inches, and let soak overnight. Drain.
• Heat oven to 325 degrees.
• Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 8 minutes, or until tender and golden brown. Add cinnamon stick, garlic and jalapeño. Saute for 5 minutes, until the jalapeño is tender. Add the pork and any juices from the bowl and sauté until lightly browned all over, about 7 minutes.
• Stir in tomatoes, split peas and coconut milk and season with more salt, to taste. The pork should just be covered by liquid. If it's not, add a little water until it is. Bring to a simmer over high heat.
• Once the mixture is simmering briskly, cover Dutch oven, and place in oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until split peas are tender and pork is falling apart and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, prepare the garlic coconut oil: In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds. Once they begin popping, add garlic and chiles, and fry until edges of garlic turn golden brown. Immediately remove pan from heat and reserve. (Do not allow entire garlic cloves to brown or they will taste bitter.)
• Serve warm, drizzled with garlic coconut oil and garnished with chopped cilantro.

Steps:

• For the pork: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the spices into the pork and roast for about 8 hours. Let cool. Pull apart and discard any fat. Put the pork pieces in a large pot and add the coconut milk.
• Meanwhile, for the curry sauce: Saute the curry paste, ginger, garlic, and black beans in sesame oil until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add this mixture to the pot with the pork and coconut milk. Add the lime leaves. Braise on low heat for 1 to 2 hours.
• For the rice: Blend the cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, and 1 cup of water. Put this mixture in a pot on the stove. Add the basmati rice. Add 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, and then simmer, covered, until the rice absorbs the liquid, 20 to 25 minutes. When done, add the butter and salt and pepper, to taste.
• For the salsa: Roast the jalapeno and poblano peppers, peel, and remove the seeds. Toast the cumin seeds and then grind. Dice the tomatoes and red onion and mix together in a bowl with the other salsa ingredients.
• Heat the corn tortillas on a griddle. Plate the rice, put the pork with sauce on top, and finish with salsa and tortillas.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix seasonings. In a 6-qt. slow cooker, combine vegetables, broth and 2 teaspoons seasoning mixture. Rub remaining seasoning mixture over roast; place over vegetables. Cook, covered, on low 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours or until meat and vegetables are tender (a thermometer inserted in roast should read at least 145°)., Remove roast from slow cooker; tent with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Rub 3 teaspoons cumin over pork. Place roasting pan. Roast pork until meat thermometer inserted into center registers 150°F, about 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, 1/2 cup shallots, garlic and 1 tablespoon jalapeño; sauté until mushrooms are very tender and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chopped cilantro, oregano and 1 teaspoon cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Transfer pork to platter. Tent with foil. Add broth to roasting pan; scrape up any browned bits. Transfer to heavy medium saucepan. Gradually whisk flour into Sherry in medium bowl to blend. Whisk Sherry mixture, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon shallots and 1 teaspoon jalapeño into broth; bring to a boil, whisking until smooth. Stir in mushroom mixture and any accumulated juices from pork on platter. Boil until mixture thickens to sauce consistency, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice pork. Garnish with cilantro sprigs. Serve pork with sauce.
