Ukrainian Roast Pork Loin With Caraway Seeds Roast Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Set pork aside at room temperature. Using a mortar and pestle, crush garlic with 1 teaspoon salt to make a paste. Add (but do not crush) cloves, caraway, lemon juice, chili oil and black pepper to taste. Crumble in bay leaves, and mix well.
• Place pork loin rind-side down; there will be a groove running along its length where chops join with bone. Rub spiced garlic paste into groove. Rub any extra paste around pork, leaving rind dry. Coat bottom of a roasting pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and place onion disks in an overlapping line down length of pan. Place pork rind-side up on onion, and sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Roast pork for 1 1/2 hours. After 45 minutes of roasting, score apples around circumference, and if necessary, trim bottoms so they sit upright without wobbling. Arrange apples in roasting pan, and continue to cook everything together for 45 minutes.
• To serve, remove pan from heat and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Transfer pork to a carving board, and slice into chops. Serve each chop with a baked apple.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375°C (200°C).
• 2. Using a pestle & mortar, crush together all of the paste ingredients, stirring a bit to be sure to combine all the ingredients. Rub the paste all over the outside surface of the pork roast. Place coated pork in roasting pan or large oven-proof cast iron skillet. Add the shallots and garlic, and place in oven to roast for 20 minutes.
• 3. Pour stock into the roasting pan, then add carrots, potatoes so they're surrounding the roast, and return roasting pan to oven to continue to roast another 75 to 90 minutes, basting with pan liquid every 20 minutes. If there's not enough liquid, add more broth or water to roasting pan. To test roast, pierce it with a fork. If only clear juices run through, the roast is done. If pink juices run out, return it to oven to continue roasting at 15-minute intervals until done .
• 4. Use a slotted spoon to remove all vegetables to a platter, and cover with foil to keep warm. Transfer roast to a serving platter, cover with foil, and let stand 20 minutes before slicing.
