Pork And Leek Wellington With Port Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the pork wellington: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper and cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the thyme leaves.
• Break up the cornbread in a bowl, add the onion-thyme mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper. Sear the pork, turning as needed, until golden brown all around, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool completely. Reserve the skillet to make the sauce.
• Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• On a cutting board, lay out the ham slices, overlapping them to create a rectangle about 12 inches long. Rub the tenderloin completely with the mustard and place over the ham slices. Wrap the ham over the tenderloin to seal in the mustard.
• Lay out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and roll out to a rectangle with the long sides 2 inches longer than the pork tenderloin. Spread the cornbread mixture around the pastry sheet, leaving about a 1-inch border all the way around. Place the wrapped tenderloin along one of the long sides of the pastry. Roll the tenderloin up in the pastry, making sure it's completely wrapped. Fold in the pastry ends, brush with the beaten egg and tuck in. Place the wrapped pork on the prepared baking sheet with the seam on the bottom and brush liberally with the beaten egg.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown and the tenderloin registers an internal temperature of 140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 25 to 35 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
• For the cherry port sauce: In the same skillet you seared the pork, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat, add the shallot and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the cherries, broth, port and honey. Increase the heat to high and simmer, stirring often, until the sauce is reduced to a glaze, about 10 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook, turning occasionally, 4 min. or until evenly browned on all sides. (Pork will not be done.) Remove pork from skillet, reserving drippings in skillet; cool pork completely.
• Meanwhile, add apples and onions to reserved drippings; cook, stirring frequently, over medium-low heat 5 min. or until crisp-tender. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in mustard and bread crumbs; cool completely.
• Heat oven to 425°F. Unfold pastry on lightly floured surface; roll into 11x9-inch rectangle. Position pastry with one long side facing you. Spread with mustard mixture to within 1 inch of top edge.
• Place single layer of cheese slices, with sides slightly overlapping, at bottom edge of pastry; top with pork.
• Brush egg onto all uncovered parts of pastry. Roll up pastry tightly around pork, starting at bottom edge; press seams together to seal.
• Place, seam side down, on parchment-covered baking sheet. Brush evenly with remaining egg wash.
• Bake 25 min. or until pork is done (145°F). Remove pork from oven. Let stand 3 min. before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add prosciutto and leeks and sauté for 3 minutes or until leeks are softened. Stir in mustard, cream and thyme. Bring to boil and boil until mixture is thick, about 1 minute.
• Roll out half of puff pastry into a 10 x 12-inch (25 x 30-cm) rectangle. Spread leek mixture over, leaving 1-inch (2.5-cm) border on all sides. Brush all exposed pastry with beaten egg. Place pork on upper third of pastry tucking any thin ends under. Season pork with salt and pepper. Bring short ends of pastry up over the ends of the pork. Roll pork in pastry until fully enclosed, cutting off pastry excess. Place seam-side-down on cookie sheet and prick top. Brush pastry with egg.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Place port, orange juice and stock in a skillet. Bring to boil and boil until reduced down to 1 cup (250 mL). Stir in soy sauce and cream. Bring to boil and reduce until slightly thickened.
• Slice pork into slices and drizzle with sauce.

Steps:

• Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and heat to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk the egg and water in a small bowl and set aside. Place the apple rings into the bowl of a mini food processor and process for 30 to 45 seconds or until they are the size of a medium dice. Set aside.
• Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin. Slice the tenderloin down the middle lengthwise, creating 2 separate pieces. Lay the tenderloin pieces next to each other head to tail, so when laid back together they are the same size at the ends.
• Lay out a 12 by 16-inch piece of parchment paper on the counter and arrange the pieces of prosciutto in the center, overlapping them enough to create solid layer that is as long as the tenderloin. Top with a second piece of parchment, and using a rolling pin, roll over the prosciutto to help adhere the pieces to each other. Remove the parchment paper and sprinkle the prosciutto with the salt, pepper, and thyme. Set the tenderloin down the middle of the prosciutto. Spread the dried apples in between the 2 pieces of tenderloin and push back together so the apples are held between them. Using the parchment paper to assist, wrap the prosciutto around the tenderloin to completely enclose in a package.
• Sprinkle the counter with flour and roll out the pastry to 12 by 14 inches. Spread the mustard thinly in the center of pastry and lay the prosciutto wrapped tenderloin in the center of the pastry on the mustard. Fold the puff pastry up and over the top of the tenderloin, then roll to completely enclose, brushing the edges of the pastry with the egg wash in order to seal. Turn the tenderloin over so the side of the tenderloin with the double thickness of pastry is underneath. Pinch the ends of the pastry to seal.
• Brush the entire pastry with the egg wash. Place the tenderloin on a parchment lined half sheet pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of at least 140 degrees F.
• Remove the tenderloin from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Heat a pan with a little oil to a very high heat and season the pork fillets well all over. Put 1 fillet in the pan and fry for 2 mins to give it a little colour all over. Remove and repeat with the other fillet, then leave both to rest and cool.
• Fry the shallot in the butter in the same pan for 2 mins, then add the mushrooms and cook until both are soft. Add the herbs and cook for 1 min. Season, tip 1/ 3 of the mixture into one bowl (reserved for the sauce) and the rest into another, and set aside to cool. Don't wash the pan.
• Meanwhile, heat a little oil in another large pan, add the spinach and cook briefly until wilted. Set aside until cool enough to squeeze out all the excess moisture, then chop. Tip the spinach into the first pan and use it to wipe up all the seasoning and juices.
• Overlap two pieces of cling film over a large chopping board. Lay the slices of prosciutto on the cling film in two rows, slightly overlapping. Carefully spread the pâté mixture over the prosciutto, then sit the pork fillets on top. Pack the mushrooms in the gaps, then top with the spinach. Use the cling film to draw the prosciutto around the fillet mixture, then roll it into a sausage shape, twisting the ends of cling film to tighten it as you go. Chill while you roll out the pastry.
• Dust the work surface with a little flour. Roll out a third of the pastry to an 18 x 30cm strip about 2mm thick and place on a non-stick baking sheet. Roll out the remainder of the pastry to about 28 x 36cm, also 2mm thick. Unroll the fillet from the cling film and sit it in the centre of the smaller strip of pastry. Brush the pastry's edges with the yolk mixture, as well as the top and sides of the wrapped fillet. Using a rolling pin, lift and drape the larger piece of pastry over the fillet, pressing well into the sides. Trim the joins to about a 4cm rim. Seal the rim with the edge of a spoon handle. Glaze all over with more egg yolk and, if you like, mark the wellington using the back of a knife, taking care not to cut into the pastry. Chill for at least 30 mins or up to 24 hrs.
• 6 Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush the wellington with a little more egg yolk and cook for 35-40 mins until golden - the pork will be just pink in the middle. Allow to stand for 10 mins before serving in thick slices.
• To make the sauce, bring the cream to the boil, add the mustard and reserved mushroom mixture, and remove from the heat. Season and stir well before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat.
• Pat pork dry, and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook pork in oil until brown, about 4 minutes or until cooked to desired doneness.
• Transfer to a warm platter; set aside.
• Remove skillet from heat.
• Discard fat, and add port; return skillet to heat.
• Deglaze pan, scraping with a wooden spoon to loosen the browned bits from the bottom.
• Continue cooking until sauce is reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
• Add stock, and cook until sauce is lightly syrupy, about 4 minutes.
• Whisk in butter, a little at a time, gently shaking pan while whisking.
• Stir in vinegar.
• Taste, and adjust for seasoning.
• Spoon sauce over pork, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt the butter over a medium heat in a large, shallow saucepan, frying pan or flameproof casserole until foaming. Season the pork slices, then fry for 2 mins on each side until browned. Use a slotted spoon to lift the pork onto a plate, then cook the apple wedges in the same pan for 3-4 mins until starting to caramelise. Lift onto the plate and set aside. Reduce the heat, scatter the leeks and thyme into the pan and cook for 15-20 mins until softened.
• Splash in the vinegar and simmer for 1 min, then pour the stock over the leeks, season and simmer for 10 mins more. Pour in the cream, then add the mustard and return the pork and apples to the pan. Season to taste and simmer for 5 mins more until the pork is cooked through but still tender and the apples are starting to soften. Serve the pork spooned over mash, if you like.
