Apple Bacon Pork Roll Ups Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Remove drippings, reserving 1 tablespoons for cooking pork chops., In same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon each oil and butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir 3-4 minutes or until tender. Add apples and brown sugar; cook and stir 4-5 minutes or until apples are tender. Stir in parsley and bacon; remove from pan. Cool slightly. Remove 1 cup mixture for filling., Pound each pork chop with a meat mallet to 1/4-in. thickness. Layer each with 1 slice cheese and 2 tablespoon filling to within 1 in. of edges. Roll up pork chops from short side; secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle salt and pepper over roll-ups., In same skillet, heat reserved drippings and the remaining oil and butter over medium-high heat. Starting with the seam side, brown roll-ups on both sides. Transfer to a 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake 15-20 minutes or until pork is golden brown and tender. Discard toothpicks; serve with remaining apple mixture.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
• Place pork on a work surface and cut into 1/2-inch thickness, starting 1/2 inch from the cutting board and rolling pork open while cutting until entire loin is unrolled onto the work surface. Cover loin with plastic wrap and pound loin into 1/4-inch thickness with a meat mallet.
• Mix apples, bread, chicken stock, poultry seasoning, seasoned salt, and eggs together in a bowl; spread onto the loin. Roll loin around apple filling, ending with the fat cap on top. Cut stuffed pork loin in half and place on rack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Slice bacon in half to form twenty strips. In a small bowl combine softened cream cheese with sliced scallions and pepper. Remove crusts from bread. Line up 4 slices of bacon, slightly overlapping to form a square. Using a rolling pin, flatten the bread. Place the bread slice on top of the bacon. Spread the bread with the cream cheese mixture. Roll up bread and bacon as you would a rug. Secure with 4-5 toothpicks about an inch apart. Assemble remaining roll ups and place on baking sheet. Freeze until firm. Slice rollups into 4-5 pieces each secured with toothpick. Either refrigerate or freeze until ready for use. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place roll-ups on broiler pan so that fat collects in bottom pan. Bake until crisp, about 20-30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Stir together mustard and maple syrup in a small bowl.
• Pat pork tenderloin dry. Without cutting all the way through, slice the tenderloin lengthwise and open like a book. Spread mustard mixture evenly over the inside and outside of the tenderloin, then season with salt and pepper.
• Place apple slices on one side of the tenderloin. Spread onions on top of the apples and sprinkle with thyme. Close the tenderloin, tucking apples and onions inside.
• Line up bacon slices in a rectangle shape on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, with each piece overlapping slightly. Place the stuffed tenderloin across the top ends of the bacon. Use the foil to lift the tenderloin and start to roll it like a jellyroll until it's completely wrapped with bacon.
• Secure both ends of the tenderloin and each bacon slice with a wooden toothpick. Use the foil to lift the tenderloin into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Spread out the foil to protect the pan from drippings.
• Cook in the preheated oven until slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Remove from the oven and let rest until internal temperature has risen to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• For the pork chops: Mix together the juice, salt and 1 gallon cold water. Submerge the pork chops and let brine in the refrigerator overnight.
• In a large saute pan over high heat, warm the oil. Sprinkle the chops with the salt and pepper. Then add the chops to the oil and reduce the heat to medium. Sear the chops until browned on the first side, 4 to 5 minutes, and then flip and repeat the process on the second side. After cooking on the second side, remove the pork from the pan and drain out any excess oil from the pan.
• For the salad: Return the pan to medium-high heat with the oil. Then add the apples, bacon, onions and salt to the pan. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring throughout. Add the balsamic and sugar, and then reduce the vinegar for 2 minutes. After reducing, remove the pan from the stove and stir in the butter until smooth. Add the celery leaves.
• Serve the chops with the apple bacon salad.

Steps:

• If any silver skin on loins is present, cut away and discard.
• Sprinkle sage, garlic, salt and pepper all over loins. Place loins closely together lengthwise, with thick ends meeting thin ends, to even out roast thickness.
• Lay out slices of bacon snugly together on a cutting board, forming a rectangle. Place loins across bacon so bacon ends emerge from each side. Beginning at one end, lift a bacon end up over loins at a 45° angle. Then, alternating sides, continue lifting bacon ends down the length of roast forming a chevron pattern of bacon on top.
• Cut five 12-inch (30-cm) lengths of twine and one 30-inch (75-cm) length. Place 5 shorter lengths of twine under loins widthwise. Working out from roast centre, firmly (but not causing deep indents to form) tie up each piece of twine, spacing evenly apart. Then tie up roast lengthwise with longer piece of twine. Trim twine ends; discard. (Roast can be prepared, covered and refrigerated for up to half a day. Add 10 to 15 minutes to roasting time.).
• When ready to roast, preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Lightly brown roast on all sides, about 15 minutes in total.
• Transfer to a baking pan lined with a rack. Place in oven; set time for 30 minutes. Check and continue roasting until a meat thermometer reads 145°F (63°C).
• Remove from oven: transfer to cutting board. Cover roast with foil; let rest 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel core and slice apples. Thinly slice onion.
• Drain most of fat from frying pan; place back over medium heat. Add onion; cook 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth; add apple slices.
• Bring to a boil; simmer, covered, 5 to 10 minutes or until apples are tender and sauce is lightly thickened. Add more broth if too thick; keep covered and hot.
• To slice pork roast, snip off lengthwise string. Then slice about ¾ inch (2 cm) thick, removing crosswise strings as they are encountered.
• Place a few saucy apples on each warm serving plate, top with a couple of slices of roast and drizzle with more sauce. Serve with mashed potatoes and a steamed julienne of carrots.

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a heavy skillet over medium heat until crisp.
• Remove to a paper towel and reserve.
• In the bacon fat, saute the apples over medium heat until they are soft, but not mushy.
• The cut edges should brown and caramelize.
• Remove apples with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
• Place flour, salt and pepper in a brown paper bag and shake thoroughly.
• Shake the pork chops in the seasoned flour.
• Fry the chops in the remaining fat over medium high-heat until they are browned, turning once.
• Serve the chops on warmed plates, covered with the apples and 4 pieces of bacon per chop.
