Pork With Apple And Parsnips Recipes

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the parsnips in the center of the baking sheet and drizzle generously with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss with 3 sprigs of thyme. Spread the parsnips into an even layer leaving an empty space on both sides. Roast until the parsnips become tender and begin to brown in spots, about 20 minutes. Use tongs to give the parsnips another toss.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the parsnips closer together in the center of the pan. Core the apple and cut it into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place the apples on one side of the parsnips, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the cinnamon. Pick the leaves from the remaining 2 sprigs thyme and sprinkle them on top of the apples. Lay the pork chops on the other side of the parsnips and brush with the Dijon mustard. Sprinkle each chop with the herbes de Provence and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast until the apples are soft, the parsnips are completely tender and golden brown, and the pork chops read an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 20 minutes more. Divide evenly between two plates, top the apples with the parsley leaves and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coarsely grind 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the fennel seeds, orange zest, and chopped rosemary in a mini chopper or a spice grinder. Rub spice mixture all over pork, and insert rosemary sprig under twine. Transfer to a large, heavy ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) or a roasting pan.
• Roast pork for 20 minutes. Toss parsnips with oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt; arrange around pork. Roast for 20 minutes. Stir parsnips. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of pork reaches 140 degrees, about 15 minutes more. Transfer pork and parsnips to platter, and let pork rest for 10 minutes before untying and slicing. (If parsnips are not uniformly golden, return to oven for 5 minutes while pork rests.)

Steps:

• Spray a crock pot with cooking spray or line with a crock pot liner for easy clean up.
• Place prepared apples and parsnips in the bottom of the crock pot and top with onion quarters. You can use your fingers to separate the onion quarters into smaller pieces if you like.
• Combine the brown sugar, ground ginger, garlic powder and salt and pepper in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed. Rub mixture into the roast making sure to get the mixture on all sides.
• Place roast in crock pot on top of the onion layer. Pour apple cider over the roast and sprinkle the crumbled cooked bacon on top.
• Turn crock pot to low and cook for 10 to 12 hours.
• To serve, remove roast and allow to rest for a few minutes. Slice into serving sized pieces and place on a platter. Place apples, onions and parsnips around the roast.
• Strain the juices remaining in the crock pot into a medium sauce pan and place pan over medium heat. Add cornstarch to a bowl or small container with a tight lid and add 1/4 cup cold water. Stir or shake well until no clumps remain. Pour mixture into saucepan containing hot juices and whisk over medium heat until desired consistency is reached.
• Pour thickened juices into a gravy boat or other serving container and serve alongside platter of roast.

Steps:

• Trim fat from pork. Cook pork in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, turning once, until brown; drain.
• Place parsnips and onion on pork. Mix broth, mustard, salt, allspice and pepper; pour over vegetables and pork. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 30 minutes or until pork chops are slightly pink when cut near bone.
• Arrange apple on vegetables. Cover and simmer about 3 minutes or just until apple is tender. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper. Sear the meat until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and set it aside.
• Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, herb sprigs, and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sliced apples, then push the mixture to the sides and set the pork loin in the middle of the skillet along with any collected juices on the plate. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 140 to 150 degrees F, about 30 to 35 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
• Transfer the pork a cutting board and cover it loosely with foil while you make the sauce. Arrange the apples and vegetables on a serving platter and set aside. Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Return the skillet to a high heat and add the vinegar scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up any browned bits. Reduce by half then add the cider and reduce by about half again. Pull the skillet from the heat and whisk in the mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold butter. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Remove the strings from the roast and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange over the apple mixture. Drizzle some sauce over meat and serve the rest on the side.
• Cook's Note: Pork cooked this way will be slightly pink. If desired, cook the pork to 160 degrees F, but be aware that this lean cut will not be as moist at the higher temperature.
