Pork With Creamy Pear Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9. Dry the skin of the pork with kitchen paper, then rub with the oil and season generously with sea salt. Sit the pork in a roasting tin, then roast for 20 mins. Reduce the heat to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and continue to roast the pork for 1 hr 20 mins until cooked and skin has turned to crisp crackling. If the skin isn't crisp enough, turn the oven back up to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9 for a further 10 mins.
• While the pork is roasting, make the pear sauce. Heat the butter in a saucepan and sizzle the pear chunks and fennel seeds together until they start to brown. Add the perry or cider and sugar. Bubble everything down until the perry is reduced and has become sticky and caramelised, and the pear is tender and starting to collapse. If the pears don't break down, use a potato masher to mash into a rough purée. Serve the sauce in a bowl alongside the pork with your favourite side dishes.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, mix the pears, brown sugar, lemon juice, pear juice, and cinnamon. Bring to boil. Cook 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
• Transfer the sauce mixture to a blender, and blend until smooth. Return to saucepan, cover, and simmer 15 minutes over low heat. Remove from heat, and allow to cool.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the pork chops 8 minutes, turning once, until done. Drizzle with the pear sauce to serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Season pork with dried sage, salt and pepper. Coat pork with flour; shake off excess. Add pork to skillet and sauté until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to platter.
• Drain fat from skillet. Add pears and sauté over medium heat 2 minutes. Stir in wine, sugar and ginger, scraping up any browned bits. Increase heat to high and boil until pears are tender and syrup is thick, about 5 minutes. Return pork and any accumulated juices to skillet. Simmer just until cooked through, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange pork on plates. Spoon sauce over and serve.

Steps:

• Chutney: Add wine, sugar, and bay leaf to pot and bring to a boil. Add the prunes and coriander and cook until soft. Add apple and pear and cook until soft. Combine cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Whisk in cornstarch and bring to a boil to thicken and remove bay leaf.
• Cream Sauce: Saute the onion, celery, carrots, and parsnip until soft, then add tomato paste and saute, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the tomato paste. Add veal stock and reduce by half.
• In a separate saute pan over low heat, add 3 tablespoons butter and melt. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, to make a roux. Cook over low heat until roux is brown, about 15 minutes. Whisk brown roux into the vegetable/stock mixture to thicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes to cook out the flour taste. Season with salt and pepper and strain.
• In another saute pan, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter and saute hazelnuts for a few minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the sauce and the orange juice and bring to a boil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add heavy cream, salt and white pepper and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve excess brown sauce for another use.
• Slice tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place each slice in between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound to 1/8-inch thick. Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge the pork in the flour. In a large saute pan, add some of the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the pork and saute until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side.
• Serve with chutney and cream sauce.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add pears and sugar; sauté until pears are tender and deep golden, about 8 minutes.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in another large nonstick skillet over high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add pork to skillet; sauté just until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Cover. Reduce heat to medium. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in same skillet. Add shallots and thyme; sauté 2 minutes. Add eau-de-vie; boil until reduced to glaze, scraping up any browned bits, about 2 minutes. Add cream and pear nectar; boil until thickened to sauce consistency, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Reheat pears if necessary. Spoon into center of platter. Arrange pork around pears. Pour sauce over pork.

Steps:

• Place rack on second level from bottom in oven. Heat oven to 500 degrees.
• Combine salt, cinnamon, cardamom and pepper in a small bowl.
• Place tenderloins side by side in a 12-by-8-by-1 1/2-inch roasting pan. Using your fingers, rub the dry seasonings on all surfaces of each tenderloin. Smear all over with the oil.
• Roast for 10 minutes. Turn over each one; roast another 10 minutes.
• While pork is roasting, puree pear in a food processor or blender until liquid; it should be 1/2 cup.
• Remove tenderloin to a serving platter. Pour off fat in pan and place over high heat. Add pear puree, boil and scrape pan with a wooden spoon to remove browned bits.
• Slice the pork crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss with the sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature, accompanied by party rye bread.

Steps:

• Rub roast with salt, pepper and sage; place in an ungreased shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until a thermometer reads 160°-170°. Meanwhile, drain cherries, reserving liquid. Set cherries aside. Add water to cherry liquid to measure 3/4 cup. Pour 1/2 cup into a saucepan; add sugar, vinegar, cloves and cinnamon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Remove and discard the spices. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and remaining cherry liquid until smooth; add to saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in lemon juice, butter, cherries and food coloring if desired; heat through. Let roast stand for 10 minutes; slice and serve with the cherry sauce.

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a medium saucepan or flameproof casserole over a high heat. Season the pork and fry for 3-4 mins, then transfer to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining oil and onion. Soften for 8 mins, then add the garlic and fry for another 2 mins.
• Add the sage and flour, stir and cook for 1 min. Increase the heat, then pour in the cider and bubble for 4 mins. Return the pork and juices to the pan, season, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 10 mins.
