Pork Roast With Port Star Anise Ginger And Tamarind Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH TAMARIND AND GINGER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine garlic, tamarind, sambal oelek, ginger, salt, cumin, fish sauce and turmeric. Rub mixture evenly over pork, and let marinate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Scrape the marinade off the pork, reserving it (there will be a tablespoon or two), then place chops in pan and sear on one side until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Use tongs to hold pork chops vertically to sear the fat on the edges, another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Flip pork so browned side is on top and add reserved marinade to pan, stirring it into the drippings. Transfer pan to oven and cook to desired doneness, about 8 minutes for lightly pink on the inside (135 degrees). Transfer chops to a plate or cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the meat off the bone and serve slices coated with pan drippings, scallions and lime wedges.

HOME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 230°C. Untie pork and use a small, sharp knife to cut fine parallel lines into skin (in the direction you want to carve it later). Take care not to cut into the meat.
• Put pork, skin-side up, on a wire rack set over the sink. Pour boiling water over skin and pat dry with paper towel. This will cause the skin to shrink, exposing the score lines.
• Roll up and secure with 3 lengths of butcher's twine. Rub a generous amount of salt into skin, rubbing into scores. Drizzle with ½ the oil, then massage it into skin using your hands.
• Put pork on a wire rack in a shallow oven tray. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining oil. Reduce temperature to 150°C and bake for a further 1 hour.
• Remove pork from oven and baste with a little of the pan juices. Set aside, uncovered, to rest for 15 minutes. Increase oven to 220°C. Bake for a further 10 minutes.
• Carve pork and serve with roast vegetables and apple sauce.

ROAST PORK SHOULDER WITH STAR ANISE AND SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• Grind star anise and coriander seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Slice chile and garlic, then mash to a paste using the side of a chef's knife. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in ground spices, soy sauce, fish sauce, and paprika.
• Lightly score pork skin crosswise in a tight pattern with a very sharp knife, cutting through the skin and some fat, but taking care not to slash the meat itself. Transfer pork to a large Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid or a roasting pan. Season liberally with salt and pepper and rub with marinade. Cover (use foil with roasting pan) and chill overnight.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Place pork, covered, in oven; reduce oven temp to 300°F. Roast pork, basting with juices every hour, until meat is fork-tender and bones are very loose, 5-5 1/2 hours.
• Uncover pork and increase temperature to 450°F. Roast, basting every 5 minutes and adding water by 1/4-cupfuls if juices become syrupy, until pork is dark brown and skin is crisp, 15-20 minutes.
• Carefully transfer pork to a platter. Skim fat from pan juices and pour remaining juices over.
• Do Ahead
• Pork can be marinated 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.

ORANGE GINGER PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, mix orange marmalade, lemon juice, ginger, and mustard. Place pork in a medium baking dish.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, then baste with the orange glaze. Continue baking to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 40 minutes more. Baste with the glaze every 10 minutes while baking. Let stand 10 minutes before carving.
