Pork Tenderloin Stuffed With Broccoli Rabe Recipes

ITALIAN PORK SANDWICH WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND SHARP PROVOLONE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the pork tenderloin generously with salt. Coat the preheated grill pan with oil. Sear the tenderloin on all sides until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145 F, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Toast the rolls, cut side-down, on the grill pan allowing the bread to crisp up and soak up the flavor from the pork. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, Parmesan, Calabrian chiles and vinegar in a small bowl.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with salted water and ice. Add the broccoli rabe to the boiling water and cook until just tender, about 1 minute. Remove from boiling water and drop immediately into the ice bath. Once cool, remove, drain and roughly chop.
• Coat a large skillet with oil and heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until just soft, about 1 minute. Add the broccoli rabe, season with salt and saute until heated through.
• Build the sandwiches: Spread the mayonnaise-chile mixture on the toasted sides of a roll. Top the bottom of the roll with half the pork, broccoli rabe and provolone cheese. Top with top piece of the roll and transfer to a baking tray. Build the second sandwich with the remaining ingredients. Bake just until cheese melts, about 3 minutes.
• Slice each sandwich in half and serve!

STUFFING STUFFED PORK ROAST - PORK ROULADE

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat oven to 325°Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a V-rack wire rack inside. Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
• Butterfly the pork loin roast or ask your butcher to do this for you.
• Use paper towels to pat the pork dry and rub it on all sides with salt and sugar. Place the roast in a zipper-lock bag and refrigerate 1-4 hours.
• In a large skillet, cook the sausage and bacon until the sausage has browned, the bacon is cooked through but not crispy. Transfer the meat to a paper towel-lined plate reserving 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat in the skillet.
• Add the onion, celery and apple to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the onion, celery and apple are tender. Add the minced garlic and remove the skillet from the heat. Pour the onion mixture into a large mixing bowl and wipe out the skillet.
• Add the reserved sausage/bacon mixture to the onion mixture, in the bowl, and stir well.
• While the above cooks, place the bread, sage, rosemary and thyme in the bowl of a food processor and pulse the mixture into coarse crumbs.
• Set the skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter melts, add the coarse breadcrumb mixture and stir until the breadcrumbs are lightly toasted, about 3 minutes (do not allow the breadcrumbs to burn). Add the breadcrumb mixture to the sausage/onion mixture and stir well. Set aside.
• Remove the pork from the bag and set it in a second large baking tray. Pat it dry with paper towels and arrange it, fat cap down, on the tray.
• Cover the pork with the sausage/onion stuffing, leaving a ½-inch border on all sides.
• Cut 7 (10-inch) pieces of kitchen twine and set them next to the work area.
• Roll the pork tightly and tie it at 1-inch intervals along the length of the roast. Season it, on all sides, with kosher salt and black pepper.
• Heat the large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons oil.
• Place the roast in the skillet and brown on all sides (about 3 minutes per side).
• Set the roast in the V-rack wire rack on the rimmed baking sheet, fat side up, and set it in the oven. Pour the chicken stock under the roast in the bottom of the baking sheet.
• Roast the pork 50-60 minutes or until the thickest, middle part of the pork registers 145°F on a meat thermometer. Remove the roast from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest 10-20 minutes before slicing. Remove the kitchen twine before slicing.
• If desired and if there is enough, pour any rendered juices from the bottom of the pan through a mesh strainer and serve alongside the roast.
• Enjoy!

ITALIAN PORK SANDWICHES (DINIC'S COPYCAT PHILLY PORK SANDWICH)

Steps:

• Marinate the meat the night before. If needed, trim the skin off of the pork shoulder while you're butterflying it, but don't trim away the fat cap on top. We used a 4-pound piece off of a larger cut, so we also had a small bone to butterfly around.
• Sprinkle evenly all over with salt (to avoid oversalting, sprinkle it from a height above the meat so it spreads evenly without needing to use a ton). Combine 1½ tablespoons ground fennel seeds, 1½ tablespoons dried thyme, 2 tablespoons dried oregano, and 1 tablespoon fresh minced rosemary leaves. Generously rub the meat all over with this seasoning. Next, stir together the 3 tablespoons of minced parsley and the minced garlic. Spread the majority on the inner parts of the butterflied pork shoulder, and distribute the rest on the top.
• Rebundle the pork shoulder so it is in a relatively tight roll. Place in a roasting pan, and surround with the thinly sliced onion. Drizzle a little olive oil over the onions. Refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, take your pork out of the refrigerator early (about 2 hours before you're ready to roast) to come up to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F, and position a rack in the lower third of the oven, and one in the upper third.
• You're going to roast the pork and the peppers simultaneously, so wash the peppers, pat them dry, and cut them all lengthwise and deseed them (If you like your long hots really hot, skip that step!) Toss in olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Lay out evenly on a baking sheet.
• Place the roast in the lower third of the oven, and the peppers on the rack in the upper third. Roast at 450 degrees F for 35 minutes. (Depending on how hot your oven runs, you may want to check them at the 20-25 minute mark.) Remove the peppers from the oven and set them aside. Later, you can reheat the peppers by stirring them into the hot pulled pork to rewarm them, or by putting them back in the oven in the final stretch of cooking.
• Also take the pork out of the oven at this step, and add the stock, wine, tomatoes, and bay leaves. Stir to combine. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Cook for another 15 minutes at 450 degrees F, and then reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Continue roasting the pork for 2 hours.
• Carefully remove the foil (you'll be putting it back on). Using a sharp carving knife, cut the roast into large chunks, laying them flat in the braising liquid. Re-cover with foil and cook for another 2 to 2 ½ hours, until the pork is fork tender.
• A little while before you take your pork out of the oven, it's time to prepare your broccoli rabe. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add ¼ cup of olive oil and 7 cloves chopped garlic. Let the garlic brown lightly, and add the crushed red pepper flakes, followed by the chopped broccoli rabe. Cook until wilted, and then lower the heat if needed to cook until tender--you don't want the stems to be crunchy!
• Remove the pork from the oven. Discard the bay leaves. Pull the pork in the pan with two forks, mixing everything in the juices.
• Stir in your reserved roasted peppers to rewarm them. Alternatively, you could reheat them in the oven in the last 10-15 minutes of roasting.
• To build each sandwich, grab your Italian bread/rolls, and slice them lengthwise. Lay down a healthy bed of sharp provolone slices (we went with sharp provolone from the deli counter, but if you really want to be authentic to the OG sandwich, get a wedge of super sharp provolone and cut it into rough, thick shavings), and toast to melt the cheese. Top with a generous, drippy helping of pulled pork. Spoon over the broccoli rabe, and nestle a few pieces of long green hot pepper and bell pepper inside. Top off with pepperoncini slices if desired, and eat immediately!

STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat it with cooking spray.
• Cut a deep slit all the way down the length of the pork - do not cut all the way through. Lay the pork open like a book and pound to approximately 3/4 inch thick with a meat mallet.
• Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper over the pork. Layer the spinach, cheese and sun dried tomatoes over one side of the pork.
• Roll the pork up tightly and secure with lengths of kitchen twine - tie each string about 2-3 inches apart.
• Season the outside of the pork generously with salt and pepper. Place the pork on the lined sheet pan.
• Place the potatoes in a bowl. Add the olive oil to the bowl; toss the vegetables to coat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place the potatoes on the sheet pan around the pork.
• Place the pan in the oven and cook for 30 minutes or until potatoes are browned and tender and the internal temperature of the pork reaches between 145 degrees F. (medium rare) and 160 degrees F. (medium), on a meat thermometer.
• Remove pork from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove the string and slice the pork. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with the potatoes.

PORK TENDERLOIN STUFFED WITH BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• Prepare the broccoli rabe by discarding coarse leaves, trim the stems by 1/2 inch, rinse and set aside. Bring water to boil, cook broccoli rabe for 2 minutes and drain. In a frying pan, heat oil, garlic, salt and hot pepper, add broccoli rabe and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Allow rabe to cool, and cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Begin to butterfly the pork tenderloin evenly. Lay flat on clean surface and top with 3 slices of prosciutto, then add chopped broccoli rabe. Start to roll the tenderloin from the bottom. Tie with 14-inches of butcher string making a knot.
• Grill on covered barbecue for approximately 25 to 35 minutes on medium to high flame. Drizzle with white wine and cook for additional 2 minutes. Turn occasionally to cook evenly.

SAUSAGE AND BROCCOLI RABE TENDERLOIN ROULADES FROM HATFIELD®

Steps:

• Tenderloin: Take tenderloin and slice lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, other side. Open halves, laying tenderloin flat. Place tenderloin between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or heavy skillet.
• In a saute pan over med-high heat, crumble and brown the sweet Italian sausage.
• In boiling salted water, cook broccoli rabe for 6 minutes then blanch in ice water to stop cooking process. After broccoli rabe is cool, chop into 1/2 inch pieces.
• Combine ricotta cheese, broccoli rabe, and sausage in mixing bowl for tenderloin stuffing.
• Spread out the sausage mixture on the tenderloin and roll up, starting with long side; secure pork at 1-inch intervals with twine.
• Season with salt, pepper, and Italian herb blend.
• In a preheated 375-degree oven, bake for 20-25 minutes (looking for an internal temperature of 155 degrees).
• Risotto: On a low heat, slowly melt the butter and add the chopped shallots and cook till translucent.
• Add in the Arborio rice, make sure to stir constantly to prevent from sticking to pan.
• Allow the rice to become glazed and cook without any liquid for 3-4 minutes.
• Next add in the white wine and deglaze.
• Boil up the chicken stock and add some of this into the rice at a medium heat. (Add the stock little by little and never adding the next ladle until the previous one has evaporated. It is vitally important not to rush this process but continue to add all of the liquid until the rice is plump and tender.)
• Season this mixture with salt and white pepper. At this time add in the Italian herb blend and if you wish to obtain a nice creamy risotto you can add the Parmesan cheese.
• To serve, slice the cooked tenderloin into medallions and shingle around risotto.
• Garnish with shaved parmesan cheese and a sprig of thyme.
