Grilled Pork Tenderloin With Hazelnut Romesco And Fresh Oregano Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over high heat, until smoking. Saute the garlic, bell pepper, chiles, and bread cubes until lightly browned, about 2 minutes each. Stir in half of the walnuts. Remove each ingredient with a slotted spoon as it is done. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar. Place all sauteed ingredients and the deglazing liquid into a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the remaining walnuts, raisins and apricots and puree until smooth and thickened, season with salt and pepper.
• For the Grilled Pork Tenderloin: Preheat grill or oven to 400 degrees F. Season both sides of the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of the Walnut Remesco down the center, fold each side over the filling, and tie with butcher's twine. Brush each tenderloin with oil and grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until just cooked through. If using oven, heat oil in a large ovenproof saute pan over high heat. Sear the meat on both sides, until golden brown, place in oven and roast for 10 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• For the Caramelized Date Sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and the sugar and cook until caramelized, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add both wines and reduce the mixture to 1/4 cup. Add the dates, stock and molasses and continue cooking until reduced to 2 cups, and reaches the consistency of a slightly thick sauce, about 30 minutes, keep warm.
• To serve, slice tenderloin into 1-inch thick pieces and top with a little Remesco sauce and drizzle with date sauce.

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, zest, juice, oregano and oil in blender and blend until smooth. Put the pork in a baking dish, add the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
• Heat a grill to high. Remove the pork from marinade and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until golden brown on all sides and cooked to medium doneness. Brush the radicchio and tomatoes with oil and grill until lightly charred. Remove the pork from the grill to a cutting board and loosely tent with foil. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Remove the radicchio and tomatoes from grill and set aside to cool slightly.
• Whisk together vinegar, mustard, anchovy paste and a touch of honey in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Add the radicchio, tomatoes, arugula, cucumber, olives, and capers and toss to combine. Transfer to a platter and top with feta and pork slices. Garnish with fresh oregano and serve.

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients in a plastic zipper bag.
• Add whole pork tenderloin and marinate, refrigerated, for at least 6 hours, but overnight produces best flavor.
• When ready to grill, let pork sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then remove tenderloin from bag and discard leftover marinade.
• If you wish, for even grilling,"tuck under" the tapered ends of the tenderloin so meat is of equal thickness throughout while cooking.
• For even more herb flavor, add some oregano and basil stems to the hot coals.
• Oak chips soaked about 30 minutes are good, too.
• Grill tenderloin about 5 minutes per side (all four sides, 20 minutes total) or until meat is still juicy and just faintly pink inside (remember meat will still cook a bit after it's removed from the grate).

Steps:

• Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat; see grilling procedure. .
• Meanwhile, lightly rub pork with some olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Oil grill rack, then grill pork, covered, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally into center registers 150°F, 20 to 25 minutes total. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes (temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees).
• While pork stands, put greens and peppers on a platter.
• Cook almonds and garlic in oil in a small heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
• Add paprika, cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to oil in skillet and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Pour in vinegar and boil, swirling occasionally, 1 minute.
• Drizzle hot dressing over greens and peppers and toss. Top with sliced pork and sprinkle with toasted almonds and garlic.

Steps:

• Cut a horizontal slit in the pork tenderloin, leaving the halves attached. Rub tenderloin with olive oil.
• Insert garlic into the slit and on onto the fatty part of pork. Press thyme and rosemary into slit. Sprinkle tenderloin with salt and pepper.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place pork on grill. Cook approximately 1 hour, turning every 15 minutes, to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
