Slow Roast Pork With Apples Peppers Recipes

ROAST PORK & APPLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the onion into a roasting tin and put the pork shoulder on top. Rub the pork skin with the oil and sprinkle with salt and the fennel seeds, if using. Tuck the garlic cloves under the side of the pork. Roast for 30 mins or until the skin begins to crackle up, blister and brown.
• Reduce heat to 180C/160C fan/gas 3, add the apples to the tin, and roast for about 2 hrs or until the meat is very tender when tested with a sharp knife. Lift the pork out to rest and spoon out the apple and onion.
• While the pork rests, make the gravy. Tip all the fat out of the tin, then put it over a low heat. Add a splash of stock, scraping any sticky bits off the bottom with a wooden spoon. Pour in the remaining stock, then bring everything to the boil. Squash in the garlic and remove the skin. Strain the gravy through a sieve into a jug. Serve the pork and crackling in slices with the roasted apple, onion and gravy, and either roast or mashed potatoes.

ROAST PORK WITH APPLES & ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat; brown roast on all sides. Transfer to a roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Place apples, onions and garlic around roast; sprinkle with rosemary., Roast until a thermometer inserted in pork reads 145°, 45-55 minutes, turning apples, onion and garlic once. Remove from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing roast. Serve with apple mixture.

6-HOUR SLOW-ROASTED PORK SHOULDER

Steps:

• Remove the pork from the fridge for 1 hour before you want to cook it, to let it come up to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas 7.
• Place the pork on a clean work surface, skin-side up. Get yourself a small sharp knife and make scores about 1cm apart through the skin into the fat, but not so deep that you cut into the meat. If the joint is tied, try not to cut through the string.
• Rub sea salt right into all the scores you've just made, pulling the skin apart a little if you need to. Brush any excess salt off the surface then turn it over. Season the underside of the meat with a few pinches of salt and black pepper.
• Place the pork, skin-side up, in a roasting tray and roast for 30 minutes, or until the skin has started to puff up and you can see it turning into crackling. At this point, turn the heat down to 170°C/325°F/gas 3, cover the pork snugly with a double layer of tin foil, pop back in the oven and roast for a further 4½ hours.
• Meanwhile, halve the onions, carrots and celery, and break the garlic up into cloves (there's no need to peel them).
• Remove the pork from the oven, take off the foil, and baste the meat with the fat in the bottom of the tray. Carefully transfer to a board, then skim all but 2 tablespoons of excess fat from the tray into a jar, and pop in the fridge for tasty cooking another day.
• Add all the veg, garlic and bay leaves to the tray and stir them into the fat. Place the pork back on top of everything and place back in the oven without the foil to roast for 1 further hour, or until meltingly soft and tender.
• Carefully move the meat to a serving dish, cover again with tin foil and leave to rest while you make the gravy. Spoon away any fat in the tray, then add the stock (or replace with water, if you prefer) and place the tray on the hob.
• Bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to scrape up all those lovely sticky tasty bits from the bottom of the tray.
• When you've got a nice, dark gravy, pour it through a sieve into jug using your spoon to really push all the goodness of the veg through the sieve. Season to taste, if needed.
• Serve the pork and crackling with the jug of gravy and all the trimmings - a dollop of apple sauce will finish this off perfectly.

SLOW-ROAST PORK WITH APPLES & PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Sit the pork on a sheet of foil in a roasting tin. Mix the butter, sugar and mustard with 2 tsp salt, rub all over the top and ends of the joint (or joints), then scrunch up the foil to seal tightly in a parcel.
• Mix the onions and apples in a large, shallow roasting tin. Scatter the peppers over the top and poke in some bay leaves. Mix the vinegar, oil, mustard and sugar with 100ml water and drizzle over everything. Roast the pork for 3½ hrs while you cook the peppers on the shelf below for the first 2 hrs. When you remove the apples and peppers after 2 hrs, set aside and put the Salt-baked potatoes (see 'Goes well with', right) into the oven underneath the pork instead.
• After 3 hrs, unwrap the foil from the pork. Scrape any mustard mixture stuck to the foil back onto the pork, sit it and any juices back in the tin and increase oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roast for 30-45 mins more until the skin is brown and crisping. Remove the pork from the oven, cover and rest for 20 mins while you put the peppers back on the top shelf for 20 mins to finish. Serve the pork thickly sliced alongside the apples and peppers, with any tin juices poured over.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together spices: smoked paprika through pepper. Coat the pork shoulder with the dry rub and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
• Place apple and onion slices in the bottom of a slow cooker and top with the pork shoulder. Add beer and cook on Low for 8 hours or High for 4 hours.
• When cooking time is complete, remove pork from the slow cooker and let rest. When pork is cool enough to handle, begin shredded the meat and disposing of any excess fat.
• Place shredded, lean pork meat back in to the slow cooker and mix with the apples, onions and cooking juices.
• Serve on a whole grain bun with apple slices.

SAVORY ROAST PORK WITH APPLES AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Spray a crock pot with cooking spray or line with a crock pot liner for easy clean up.
• Place prepared apples and parsnips in the bottom of the crock pot and top with onion quarters. You can use your fingers to separate the onion quarters into smaller pieces if you like.
• Combine the brown sugar, ground ginger, garlic powder and salt and pepper in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed. Rub mixture into the roast making sure to get the mixture on all sides.
• Place roast in crock pot on top of the onion layer. Pour apple cider over the roast and sprinkle the crumbled cooked bacon on top.
• Turn crock pot to low and cook for 10 to 12 hours.
• To serve, remove roast and allow to rest for a few minutes. Slice into serving sized pieces and place on a platter. Place apples, onions and parsnips around the roast.
• Strain the juices remaining in the crock pot into a medium sauce pan and place pan over medium heat. Add cornstarch to a bowl or small container with a tight lid and add 1/4 cup cold water. Stir or shake well until no clumps remain. Pour mixture into saucepan containing hot juices and whisk over medium heat until desired consistency is reached.
• Pour thickened juices into a gravy boat or other serving container and serve alongside platter of roast.

EASY SLOW COOKER APPLE PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Place the apples and onion into the bottom of a slow cooker, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.
• Rub the pork roast with salt and pepper, and place it on the layer of apples and onions in the slow cooker. Pour the applesauce over the roast, and dust the top with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.
• Cook on High setting for 8 hours. Serve the roast topped with the sauce, apples, and onions.

ROAST PORK LOIN WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper. Sear the meat until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and set it aside.
• Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, herb sprigs, and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sliced apples, then push the mixture to the sides and set the pork loin in the middle of the skillet along with any collected juices on the plate. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 140 to 150 degrees F, about 30 to 35 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
• Transfer the pork a cutting board and cover it loosely with foil while you make the sauce. Arrange the apples and vegetables on a serving platter and set aside. Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Return the skillet to a high heat and add the vinegar scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up any browned bits. Reduce by half then add the cider and reduce by about half again. Pull the skillet from the heat and whisk in the mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold butter. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Remove the strings from the roast and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange over the apple mixture. Drizzle some sauce over meat and serve the rest on the side.
• Cook's Note: Pork cooked this way will be slightly pink. If desired, cook the pork to 160 degrees F, but be aware that this lean cut will not be as moist at the higher temperature.

PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• For the pork: Mix together the mustard and apple cider and brush all sides of the pork loin and ribs with the mixture. Liberally sprinkle the pork loin and ribs with the smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 tablespoons cracked black pepper. Add some oil to a cast-iron skillet or roasting pan, then place the rack of ribs, curved-side down, in the skillet and place the loin, fat-side up, on top of the ribs. Roast until the internal temperature of the loin reaches 145 degrees F, about 30 minutes.
• While the pork begins to roast, cut the carrots, parsnips, potatoes and turnips into wedges using an oblique cut: Place a vegetable on a cutting board and hold your knife at a 45-degree angle to the vegetable. Cutting roughly 1-inch slices on the diagonal, roll the vegetable a quarter turn toward you each time you make a cut so you're cutting point to point until the vegetable is completely cut. Add the carrots, parsnips, potatoes, turnips, garlic and thyme to the skillet with the pork roast. Drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return the skillet to the oven and continue to cook until the loin reaches 145 degrees F.
• Transfer the pork loin to a cutting board to rest and tent with foil. Return the skillet to the oven and cook until the ribs and vegetables are cooked through, about 30 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the oven, transfer the vegetables to a platter and transfer the ribs to a cutting board.
• For the pan gravy: Heat the same skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until it absorbs the fat in the skillet. Slowly whisk in the cider and 1 cup water and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly to smooth out any lumps, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley and set aside.
• Cut the rack of ribs into individual ribs and scatter over the roasted vegetables. Slice the pork loin and shingle onto the platter. Spoon the pan gravy over the top and serve.
