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.

ROASTED LOIN OF PORK WITH BRAISED RED CABBAGE AND PORT WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, bring approximately 4 quarts of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. Fill a large mixing bowl with ice water. Blanch the red cabbage for about 30 seconds in a strainer in the large stockpot. After blanching, plunge the strainer containing the cabbage in the ice water for about 30 seconds. Dry the cabbage with a towel and reserve. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the pork lightly with black pepper.In a large cast-iron skillet, over medium-high heat, brown the pork loin on all sides, about 10 to 15 minutes. When properly browned, remove the pork loin to a platter and reserve. Distribute the onion slices on the bottom of the cast-iron skillet and place the browned pork loin on top. Transfer to the oven and roast until the internal temperature of the pork is 150 degrees, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the cast-iron skillet from the oven, transfer the pork loin from the skillet to a platter and let it rest in a warm spot. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned particles. Remove any burned onions. Sauté remaining onions over medium heat until caramelized, about 10 minutes, remove from the pan and reserve. In a large sauté pan, over high heat, preheat the vegetable oil. Add the garlic and blanched cabbage. Sauté until the cabbage is thoroughly heated through, but still crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and the caramelized onions from the cast-iron skillet, stir briefly, add the sage and capers, and season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and keep warm. To serve, cut the pork loin into 1/2-inch-to-2-inch-thick slices with one bone in each slice. Place the cooked cabbage on a large warm platter. Arrange the slices of pork on the cabbage, ladle the sauce over, and serve immediately.
