HOLLY CLEGG

Steps:

• 1 In plastic resealable bag, combine fig preserves, chili powder, garlic, vinegar, and soy sauce. Season tenderloins to taste and place in bag. Refrigerate one hour or longer, time permitted. 2 Preheat oven 350°F. Place tenderloin on baking sheet covered with foil. Cover tenderloins with some of the marinade, toss out remaining marinade. 3 Cook tenderloins, basting after 20 minutes with marinade in pan and continue cooking another 20 minutes or until thickest part of tenderloin registers 160°F.

ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FIG CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Make the chutney: Combine figs, butter, port, water, lemon zest, bay leaves, cinnamon, sugar, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until liquid is the consistency of a loose jam, about 40 minutes. Discard bay leaves and cinnamon stick, or reserve for garnish. (Chutney can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week; bring to room temperature, or reheat in a pan over low heat, adding water as needed.)
• Roast the pork: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Rub pork with garlic and oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange onion on a rimmed baking sheet, and place pork on top. Scatter carrots and garlic around meat. Drizzle lightly with oil.
• Roast, stirring vegetables halfway through, until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of pork registers 145 degrees for medium, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes. Slice pork, and serve warm or at room temperature with roasted vegetables and chutney. Unsliced pork and vegetables can be refrigerated in an airtight container overnight; slice, and serve chilled.

ROASTED LOIN OF PORK WITH FIG AND CHIPOTLE STUFFING

Steps:

• To prepare the marinade: Blend together the tamarind paste, if using, orange juice, molasses, chile powder, vinegar, oil, and basil. Pour the marinade over the pork loin in a shallow glass baking dish, cover, and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
• To prepare the stuffing: Place the figs, garlic, and pureed chipotles in a food processor and pulse until semi-smooth. Transfer to a bowl and fold in the remaining ingredients.
• To prepare the pork: Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and blot dry. Butterfly the loin lengthwise, leaving 1/2 inch of meat attached to connect the 2 halves of the loin. Open the pork loin and cover it with plastic wrap. Pound lightly with a butcher's mallet or heavy pan to an even thickness, 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Mound the stuffing down the center of the loin and fold it closed. Tie the loin carefully at 1-inch intervals with butcher's string. The loin may be prepared to this point up to 24 hours in advance.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Pour the marinade into a saucepan and reduce it over low heat to a glazelike consistency. Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over moderate heat and sear the meat. Transfer to a metal rack wet in a roasting pan and roast for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 145 degrees. Bursh the pork liberally with the glaze during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes or so before removing the twine. Slice and serve.
• Serving Suggestion: Serve with sauteed chanterelle mushrooms with apple wedges.

FIG AND BALSAMIC PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450F. Grease a cast-iron skillet with a bit of oil and set aside. (Alternately, you can use a rimmed baking sheet. Brush some oil on the baking sheet, as well).
• Prepare the pork tenderloin by removing any visible fat and removing the silverskin. Brush pork with balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Place into a prepared pan or baking sheet, placing it along the side or at the end, if cooking potatoes alongside. Tuck the thin end of the tenderloin under, so that the pork is evenly thick from end to end.
• (If cooking potatoes alongside, halve or cube the potatoes, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place into the skillet or onto the baking sheet, cut side down.)
• Place into preheat oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork registers 145F when measured with an instant-read thermometer and the potatoes are golden.
• Remove from oven. Remove the potatoes to a bowl and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Remove the pork to a plate to rest while you make the sauce.
• In the same skillet you used to cook the pork (or a fresh skillet if you cooked on a baking sheet), melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots or onion and cook, stirring until softened. Add the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar and fig jam. Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring, until sauce reduces and thickens. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Add a few thyme leaves to the sauce, if using.
• Return pork to the pan and re-warm, flipping it over a couple of times to coat with sauce. Remove pork to a plate and spoon warm sauce over-top or alternately, slice pork, then spoon sauce over-top. Serve with roasted potatoes.

ROAST PORK TENDERLOIN WITH A FIG AND CHIPOTLE JAM

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Place the fig preserves and the chipotle peppers in a food processor or a blender and pulse until the mixture is smooth--about 30 seconds. Set aside.
• Place the pork tenderloin in a 13 by 9 glass or ceramic baking dish and season the pork with salt and pepper. Spoon the jam mixture evenly over the pork.
• Roast the pork until it browns amd the juices run clear when pierced with a fork and the meat is still barely pink--20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven and cover the meat with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Slice the tenderloin and serve with the lime quarters.

PORK LOIN WITH FIG AND PORT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the first 6 ingredients. Boil over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Discard the herb sprigs and cinnamon sticks (some of the rosemary leaves will remain in the port mixture). Transfer the port mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Blend in the butter. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. (The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat before using.)
• For the pork: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Stir the oil, rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a small bowl to blend. Place the pork loin in a heavy roasting pan. Spread the oil mixture over the pork to coat completely. Roast until an instant read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, turning the pork every 15 minutes to ensure even browning, about 45 minutes total.
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Let the pork rest 15 minutes. Meanwhile, stir the chicken broth into the roasting pan. Place the pan over medium heat, and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any browned bits. Bring the pan juices to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Using a large sharp knife, cut the pork crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the pork slices on plates. Spoon the jus over. Drizzle the warm fig sauce around and serve immediately.

PORK LOIN ROAST WITH FIG & APPLE STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. In a non-stick frying pan, heat 2 tsp of the oil and brown the pork fillet for 4-5 mins, turning once to cook evenly. Rub with another 1 tsp of oil and season. Transfer to a roasting tin and bake for 40 mins or until the juices run clear when you skewer the thickest part of the loin. (Timings will vary depending on thickness of the meat.)
• Using the same frying pan, heat 1 tbsp oil, add the onions and cook for about 10 mins until soft. Add the apples and figs and cook for another 5 mins. Tip into a bowl and add the breadcrumbs, sage, egg, lemon zest and 2 tbsp of the chicken stock. Add seasoning, then roll into 12 balls. Put the stuffing balls on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, then bake for 20-25 mins.
• When the pork is cooked, remove from the roasting tin and allow to rest for 10 mins. Deglaze the roasting tin with the remaining chicken stock, scraping any of the brown bits off the bottom, then add the vinegar, quince paste and resting juices. If your roasting tin isn't flameproof, transfer to a saucepan and bubble down until the sauce has thickened to the consistency of double cream. Season, slice the pork and serve with stuffing, sauce and vegetables.

CHIPOTLE CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, chipotle chile powder, salt, and brown sugar. Place tenderloins in bag and shake, coating meat evenly. Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Lightly oil grill grate, and arrange meat on grate. Cook for 20 minutes, turning meat every 5 minutes. Remove from grill, let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
