Jalapeño Roast Pork On Ciabatta With Pickled Cabbage And Creole Mustard Recipes

MUSTARD-CREAM CABBAGE WITH PORK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. When shimmering, add the bacon and saute until it begins to crisp. Add the onion and saute until soft, 5-8 minutes.
• Add the apple, salt and cabbage; continue to saute until the cabbage wilts, about 5 minutes. Add the cream, Dijon mustard and whole grain mustard; stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a very low simmer, and leave it to cook.
• Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Liberally season pork chop with salt and pepper on both sides. When the pan is hot, add the chop and cook until a deep golden brown on both sides, 2-4 minutes each side. Transfer pan to oven and cook another 5-8 minutes, until the internal temperature is 150°F.
• Remove the chop to a plate, tent with foil and let stand for 10 minutes to rest. Slice pork against the grain. Divide cabbage between two warmed plates, top each with half the pork, and serve.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500˚. Place the cabbage on a baking sheet, leaving room for the pork. Brush the cabbage all over with the melted butter; season with salt and pepper. Roast 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rub the pork with salt, pepper and the coriander. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, until browned all over, 8 minutes (reduce the heat if the pork is getting too dark). Transfer the pork to the baking sheet with the cabbage; reserve the skillet. Roast the pork and cabbage together until a thermometer inserted in the center of the pork registers 145˚, 13 to 15 minutes; transfer to a cutting board. Continue roasting the cabbage until browned, 5 to 10 more minutes.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika and stir until toasted, 30 seconds. Stir in the vinegar and sugar, then pour in 1/3 cup water, scraping up the bottom of the skillet. Cook until a thin sauce forms, 1 to 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the pork and divide among plates along with the cabbage. Spoon the bell pepper mixture over the pork; top with the parsley.

JALAPEñO-ROAST PORK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Rinse the pork shoulder and pat dry. Using a paring knife, make several 1/2-inch-deep incisions on both sides of the meat. Mix the juice, jalapeños, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, and oil, either by hand or by pulsing in a food processor until just mixed. Rub the meat with the mixture, being sure to massage some down into the incisions.
• Place the meat in a roasting pan fat side up, cover with foil, and roast for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender. Cool, remove it from the pan, then shred or slice the pork as desired. After the meat has been removed, add a little water or broth to the roasting pan and stir to dissolve any brown bits, then strain the juices and pour them back over the sliced or shredded meat.

PORK ROAST WITH ROASTED JALAPEñO GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 475 degrees. Mix together salt, pepper, granulated garlic and onion. Place the pork on a rack set in a roasting pan and sprinkle the roast with the spice mixture, rubbing it lightly so it adheres to the meat.
• Roast for 30 to 40 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. If the fat begins to get too dark, tent with foil.
• While the roast is cooking, make a roux for the gravy by melting the butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Add the flour all at once and whisk vigorously until smooth. When the mixture thins and starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, whisking slowly, until the mixture smells nutty and toasty and is still light colored. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally, then set aside and let cool.
• When the roast is done, cover and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Reduce the oven to 450 degrees. Place the jalapeños in a small pan, brush with oil and roast for 6 minutes, or until soft. Remove the stems and some or all of the seeds and membranes, depending on how hot the peppers are and how hot you want the gravy. Dice the jalapeños.
• Place the half-and-half, stock, salt and jalapeños in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Quickly reduce heat to medium. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced. Stir in 4 tablespoons of the roux and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, whisking continually, until the sauce is thickened and bubbly. Stir in a little more roux if needed to reach the desired thickness and, if desired, any accumulated juices from the roast. Slice the roast, cover in gravy and serve.

Steps:

• Place the vinegar, salt, and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Place the cabbage and onions in a large bowl. Pour the hot vinegar mixture into the bowl, add pepper, and toss. Let stand for 15 minutes, then toss again, taste, and adjust seasoning. Add more vinegar, salt, or sugar accordingly. Place in a glass or plastic container and set aside.
• Place about 3 ounces of warmed shredded meat on bread or rolls with a little mayonnaise, mustard, and sliced pickles, and top with pickled cabbage.
