Pot Roasted Pork With Red Wine Sage And Rosemary Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the dried porcini in 1 cup (250ml) boiling water for 10 minutes to soften (reserve liquid when draining).
• Meanwhile melt half the butter in a flameproof casserole over medium-low heat.
• Season pork well with salt and pepper; then place fat side down in the pan; gently sear for 6 to 8 minutes until well coloured and the fat has rendered.
• Turn and sear other side for 4 to 5 minutes. (Our pork loin which was close to 2 kilo took a total of about 20 minutes to get a nice golden colour.).
• Remove pork from the pan, drain off any excess fat, and melt the remaining butter (we added some more olive oil); add the garlic, sage and rosemary and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until golden.
• Squeeze porcini to remove excess liquid and set soaking liquid aside.
• Return pork to the pan (at this point we put into a large baking dish); add mushrooms, tomatoes and 1 cup (250ml) wine and season well with salt and pepper.
• Cover the surface with a baking paper, tucking in the edges as this ensures that the dish will not dry out.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes (we put into the oven at about 160 degrees Celsius. Please note our pork was larger than called for in the recipe).
• Turn the pork, baste with the sauce, add the remaining wine and reserved mushroom stock.
• Recover with baking paper and cook for a further 40 to 50 minutes until the sauce is rich and the pork is tender (ours was in the oven longer).
• If the sauce starts to dry out, add splashes of water or wine to maintain the moisture level.
• The sauce will intensify in colour but shouldn't burn.
• POLENTA:.
• For the polenta, place 3 cups (750ml) water ina saucepan; bring to a boil; gradually add the polenta, whisking constantly; reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, fold in butter and Parmesan cheese, season and keep warm.
• Remove the pork from the sauce, thickly slice.
• Serve with the polenta, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Using a long knife with a thin blade or a clean sharpening steel, make a channel lengthwise through the center of the loin running from one end to the other.
• Mix the chopped sage and rosemary in a small bowl. Add the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon oil. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then poke it through the channel in the meat (I find it easiest to work from both ends more or less at once).
• Season the outside of the loin generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in an ovenproof skillet large enough to hold the loin. Brown the meat on all sides and on each end, about 8 minutes in all.
• Add the herb sprigs and crushed garlic to the pan and put it in the oven. Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the loin and roast 15 minutes more, basting from time to time with the pan drippings.
• Remove the pan from the oven, cover with foil, and set aside in a warm place for 15 minutes to rest the meat. To serve, cut the loin into generous slices, season with sea salt, and drizzle with the pan juices.
• Chef's notes:
• If you are roasting a larger, thicker loin, make two channels through the meat so the seasoning can be better distributed. Cook the loin longer.
• If you want, you can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. I prefer pork cooked so it's still a little pink at the center. You can expect a reading before the final resting of about 135°F. If you like your pork more thoroughly cooked, cook it until the internal temperature reaches 150°F.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• With 2 or 3 bits of string, tie up your pork loin, do this any way you like. It doesn't have to be fussy, you just want to keep the meat in a snug shape while it's cooking. Season generously with salt and pepper, then roll the meat in the fennel seeds until covered.
• In a casserole pan or roasting tray, fry the meat for a couple of minutes in half the butter and a little olive oil, until nice and golden.
• Throw in the garlic, herbs, fennel, and wine, then cover the tray loosely with some wet greaseproof paper and cook until an inserted meat thermometer reaches 150 degrees F. As the pork loin is off the bone it cooks very quickly. Remove from the oven and allow the meat to rest on a plate. Then, without using any more heat, finish off your sauce in the pan, scraping any goodness off the bottom and adding the rest of the butter. Remove any large bits.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together garlic, sage, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a small bowl. Rub mixture all over pork.
• Heat a large, heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil. Add pork, and brown all over, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer pan to oven. Roast pork, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 145 degrees to 150 degrees, about 20 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board; tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Chop the garlic and half the sage and insert it in the center of the pork. Squeeze a half lemon over the pork and season the meat with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a heavy casserole or Dutch oven just large enough to hold the loin. Brown the loin on all sides and drain off the fat.
• Arrange the onion over the bottom of the pan and sprinkle with remaining sage leaves and thyme sprigs. Put the loin on top and add the chicken stock and wine. Cover and cook for an hour. Uncover, turn the oven up to 375 degrees, and let the meat brown for 20 to 30 minutes. Test to see if the meat is done. (It is cooked when an internal temperature of 155 degrees on a meat thermometer is registered.)
• Remove the pork loin to a serving dish and keep it warm. (You can put it back in the oven, leaving the door ajar.) Skim the fat from the cooking juices and reduce them until thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in a warmed sauce boat. Decorate the pork with sprigs of sage and thyme and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 13 x 9 x 2-inch roasting pan with foil. Mix first 4 ingredients in bowl. Rub garlic mixture all over pork. Place pork, fat side down, in prepared roasting pan. Roast pork 30 minutes. Turn roast fat side up. Roast until thermometer inserted into center of pork registers 155°F., about 25 minutes longer. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes.
• Pour any juices from roasting pan into small saucepan; set over low heat to keep warm. Cut pork crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Arrange pork slices on platter. Pour pan juices over. Garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown beef in oil on both sides. Transfer to a 1-1/2-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the broth, tomato sauce, wine, onion, garlic, parsley, rosemary, salt and pepper; pour over beef. Cover and cook on low until meat is tender, about 8 hours. , Remove beef and keep warm. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir in cooking juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Serve with beef.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Rub the roast OR tenderloin liberally with olive oil, then spread the garlic over it. Place it in a 10x15 inch roasting pan and sprinkle with the rosemary.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
