Bone In Pork Roast With Apples And Gremolata Recipes

PORK ROAST WITH APPLE

Steps:

• Cut apple in half.
• Slice one half fairly thin and put on the bottom of a roaster.
• Place the pork roast on top of the sliced apples.
• Slice second half of apple thinly and put on top of the pork roast.
• Slice onion into rings and put on top and around the roast.
• Mix remaining ingredients and pour over the pork roast.
• Put pork roast into the oven at 325F.
• Every half hour or so baste the roast with the juices.
• Cook for as long as the roast is big.
• Take out and let rest approximately 15 minutes before cutting.

ROAST PORK LOIN WITH APPLES

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.

PORK ROAST WITH APPLE MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Take the pork out of the refrigerator 45 minutes before you are ready to roast to allow the pork to come to temperature.
• Place the pork into a roasting pan fitted with a rack or onto a baking sheet, fat side up, and season with salt and pepper. Put in the oven and roast for 1 hour. Meanwhile, make the glaze.
• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the apple juice to a boil and reduce it by half, about 10 minutes. Whisk in the brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard and simmer until thickened, another 5 to 7 minutes.
• After the pork has roasted for 1 hour, start brushing it with the glaze every 15 minutes. Cook until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, about 2 hours total cook time. Remove from the oven, give it another coating of glaze, and let it rest, uncovered, for 15 minutes before carving. (Reserve 1 cup of the meat for the Round 2 Recipe Pork Hash).

BONE-IN PORK ROAST WITH APPLES AND GREMOLATA

Steps:

• Let pork sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season pork with salt and pepper. In a large roasting pan, arrange apples, cut side down, in two rows in center of pan. Place pork, fat side up, on top of apples. Add wine and 1 cup water to pan. Roast until pork is golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center (avoiding bones) reads 145 degrees, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Transfer pork and apples to a platter. Loosely tent pork with foil and let rest 30 minutes.
• Make gremolata: In a small bowl, stir together parsley, rosemary, lemon zest and juice, and oil and season with salt and pepper. Cut roast into chops and serve with apples and gremolata.

BONE-IN PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Have butcher cut the chine bone in between each rib of the pork roast to make carving easier.
• Leave the fat cap on for added moisture and flavor.
• Line a large stockpot or bucket with a plastic bag (I use a paint bucket I purchased from a paint store specifically for brining).
• Pour water in and dissolve the salt and brown sugar.
• Add peppercorns and a few thyme sprigs.
• Place the pork roast in the brine and if using a bag, tie the bag closed so the pork is submerged.
• Refrigerate (I surround with ice) for 6 hours.
• Remove pork from the brine and dry thoroughly with paper towels.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Lay thyme sprigs all over the roast, season with salt and pepper, then secure with butcher's twine to help hold the shape.
• Coat a roasting pan with olive oil and set on 2 burners over high heat until almost smoking.
• Sear the pork, fat side down, until caramelized.
• Turn the roast to brown all sides, about 10 minutes.
• To flavor the pork drippings, scatter carrots, garlic, onion, shallots and more thyme sprigs in the pan, and then transfer the roast to the oven.
• Roast until a meat thermometer, inserted in the thickest part of the roast registers 150°F-- about 1 hour.
• Remove the pork to a cutting board to rest while preparing the pan sauce.
• Discard the aromatic vegetables and set the pan on 2 burners over high heat.
• Deglaze the pan with apple juice, scraping up the yummy bits off the bottom.
• Reduce by a third, season with salt& pepper, and whisk in the butter to smooth out.
• Serve.
• Enjoy!

BONE-IN PORK ROAST WITH APPLE-RHUBARB GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place the pork onto a roasting rack, and rub all over with salt, black pepper, and sage.
• Slow roast the pork in the preheated oven until the pork is no longer pink near the bone, about 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• While the pork is cooking, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, shallot, and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rhubarb, apple, brown sugar, vinegar, apple juice, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer until the sauce has reduced to half of its original volume, about 30 minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water, then stir into the simmering sauce. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce has thickened to the consistency of maple syrup.
• Once the pork has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), spoon enough rhubarb glaze over the pork roast to cover completely. Return the pork to the oven, and continue baking until the glaze has set, and the internal temperature has reached 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 20 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the remaining apple-rhubarb glaze.
