Pork Loin With Grapes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Tuck 6 sage leaves under kitchen twine and season pork with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork on all sides until golden, about 8 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside. Add remaining oil to pan with grapes, shallot, and remaining sage. Season with salt and pepper. Nest pork in center of pan.
• Transfer pan to oven and roast until pork reaches 145 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 15 minutes. Remove pork and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• For the Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Grapes: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cook the bacon lardon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and drain on a towel-lined plate. Reserve the bacon for the potatoes. Reserve the skillet with bacon fat to cook the pork.
• Toast the fennel seeds in a small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and grind into a fine powder.
• Season the pork generously with salt and pepper. Return the large skillet with bacon fat to medium-high heat. Place the pork in the pan and cook on all sides until rich golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove the pork from the pan, dust the pork with the toasted ground fennel seeds, and place on a sheet pan fitted with a rack. Roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F, about 14 minutes. Allow to rest 10 minutes until ready to serve.
• Drain the fat from the skillet and place over medium-low heat. Add the extra-virgin olive oil and shallots and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt then pour in the port and scrape with a wooden spoon to release the bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the grapes and cook the grapes until they split and let out their juices, about 10 minutes.
• Add half of the chicken stock, let it reduce slightly, then add the remaining stock and let cook until sauce is reduced by half and thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste and re-season if needed.
• For the Mashed Sweet Potatoes: Add the sweet potatoes to a large pot and cover with cool water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return the cooked potatoes to the pot.
• Add the heavy cream and butter and combine with a hand mixer until smooth. Mash with a potato masher. Add the brown sugar, heavy cream and cumin and mix with a spatula to combine. Season to taste with salt. Add the cayenne, cumin, light brown sugar, reserved bacon and some salt and fold to combine.
• Slice the pork on a bias. Serve with the sweet potatoes and top with the grapes, sauce and chives.

Steps:

• Position 2 oven racks in the top and middle position, and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the grapes and sage leaves with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake on the top rack until the grapes have shriveled and softened and the skins have browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Pull out some of the sage leaves to use as garnish.
• Meanwhile, season the pork all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning as needed, until well-browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the middle rack of the oven, and roast the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145 degrees F, 11 to 12 minutes. Set aside to rest.
• While the grapes and pork roast, put the couscous in a medium bowl. Add just enough hot water to cover the couscous, cover with plastic wrap and let sit until all the liquid is absorbed and the couscous is tender, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
