Grilled Pork Loin Stuffed With Chard Fennel And Olives Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and lightly oil the grates. Butterfly the pork: Slice almost in half lengthwise, stopping about 1/2 inch from cutting through; open like a book and flatten with your hands. Cover with plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2 inch thick with the flat side of a meat mallet or a heavy skillet.
• Rub the pork with the grated garlic and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the red peppers on top of the pork in a single layer, then the basil and mozzarella, leaving a 1-inch border on one long side. Roll up from the opposite long side into a tight log and tie with kitchen twine in three or four places. Rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
• Grill the pork, covered and turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the meat (not the filling) registers 145 degrees F, 12 to 14 minutes. Let rest about 5 minutes, then slice.
• Meanwhile, strip the kale leaves from the stems and tear into pieces. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the kale, smashed garlic and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until the kale is tender, about 5 minutes. Roughly chop the giardiniera and stir into the kale until heated through, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Divide among plates and serve with the pork.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the stuffing, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan. Add the onions and fennel with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook over low to medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions and fennel are tender and lightly browned. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 more minute. Add the Pernod and cook for another minute, deglazing the pan. Cool slightly.
• Add the bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon of salt to the stuffing mixture. Lay the pork on a board fat side down, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing evenly on the pork and roll up lengthwise, ending with the fat on the top of the roll. Tie with kitchen string, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
• Place the rolled pork loin on a baking rack on a sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F and roast for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the interior of the pork is 137 degrees F. (If the thermometer hits stuffing rather than pork, it will register a higher temperature, so test the meat in several places.) Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the strings, slice thickly, and serve.

Steps:

• Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of each tenderloin to within 1/2 in. of bottom. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the wine or broth, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic, curry, ginger and pepper; add pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2-3 hours. , In a small saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Stir in stuffing mix. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Cool., Drain and discard marinade. Open tenderloins so they lie flat; spread stuffing down the center of each. Close tenderloins; tie at 1-1/2-in. intervals with kitchen string., Prepare grill for indirect heat. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill pork, covered, over indirect medium-hot heat for 25-40 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Prepare a hot fire (450°F) in a wood-fired grill.
• To make the brine, dissolve the salt and sugar in the water. Add the pork loin to the brine and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours. Rinse the pork loin, pat dry with paper towels, and allow to come to room temperature.
• To make the stuffing, blanch the chard leaves in salted water for 1 minute, then immediately place in a bowl of ice water. Drain and dry the leaves on paper towels. Heat the 1/4 cup olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat and add the green garlic. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes, then add the fennel bulb and cook until the fennel is soft, about 7 minutes. Add the olives and wine. Cook until the wine is almost evaporated. Add the orange zest, parsley, fennel seed, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Unroll the pork and trim off any fat. Slice the pork into thirds lengthwise, cutting to about 1/2 inch from all the way through. Open and lay the pork flat. Place plastic wrap over the pork and, using a flat meat pounder or small skillet, flatten to any even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Lay the blanched chard leaves over the pork to create a lining. Spread the fennel stuffing mixture over the chard to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Roll the pork up jelly-roll style, starting with one long side, and secure every 2 inches with kitchen string.
• Lightly brush with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Place the pork on the grill and rotate until all sides are golden and lightly crisp, about 10 minutes. Move the roast to the side of the grill, away from direct heat. Cover and cook, turning the meat every 5 minutes or so, for 20 minutes, or until the roast is evenly golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat (not the stuffing) registers 145°F. Transfer the meat to a carving board, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 15 minutes. Remove the strings and cut the meat into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Serve topped with the walnut sauce.
• Toasted Walnut Sauce
• Soak the bread in enough milk to cover. Add the mixture to a food processor along with the walnuts, garlic, and thyme. Pulse into a paste. Add salt and white pepper to taste. With the machine running, add the olive oil. Add milk as necessary to achieve a sauce-like consistency. Add red pepper flakes to taste. Use now, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Season pork all over with salt and black pepper. Using a sharp knife, make several slits in pork, about 1-inch deep. Stuff olives into slits all over pork. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to an oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Sear pork on all sides and then remove from heat. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, 2 tablespoons oil, honey, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Pour mixture all over pork. Bake approximately 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer registers 150 to 160 degrees F. Let pork stand 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into 1-inch thick slices.

Steps:

• Season pork lightly with kosher salt and put it in a bowl or resealable bag.
• Juice the lime into a blender or food processor and add cilantro, fish sauce, garlic, jalapeño and honey. Blend until the jalapeño and garlic are puréed, then add fennel, cumin, coriander seeds and pulse four or five times to bruise the spices and mix them in.
• Pour mixture over the pork, tossing to coat the pieces. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes while you heat the grill, or up to 24 hours.
• When ready to cook, heat the grill or broiler with a rack positioned 4 inches from the heat source.
• Thread the pork onto skewers, leaving a little space between cubes. Grill over the highest heat possible, or broil on high, for 2 to 5 minutes, then flip the skewers and continue cooking until the meat is browned all over and charred in spots. It should be just cooked through: A little pink is OK, but there shouldn't be any red spots.
• Serve the pork with cilantro sprigs and onion slices on top, and lime wedges on the side for squeezing.

Steps:

• make the rub by roasting the corriander in a hot skillet for about 3 minutes or until you can smell the corriander. Grind this and the oregano with a mortar and pestle or spice grinder. Add all other rub ingredients and mix well.
• Rinse and dry the pork loin.
• Using a sharp, long knife cut 1/2 inch above the cutting surface as you roll the loin out. You should have a continuous slab of meat once complete.

• layer the spinach over the surface.
• add the cheese.
• roll the pork loin and tie with butcher twine.
• Sprinkle the rub over the outside surface and rub it inches.

• If desired, add smoke wood, chips or a foil packet with wood chips.
• Cook until internal temperature of the meat is 160°F.
• Let the roast rest 15 minutes or so before slicing.

Steps:

• Starting about a third in from 1 side, make a lengthwise slit down the roast to within 1/2 in. of the bottom. Turn roast over and make another lengthwise slit, starting about a third in from the opposite side. Open roast so it lies flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 3/4-in. thickness; remove plastic wrap., Combine mustard and garlic; rub two-thirds of the mixture over roast. Combine the chives, sage, thyme, rosemary, 3/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle two-thirds of the herb mixture over roast.
