Lidias Pot Roasted Herb Scented Pork Loin Recipes

Steps:

• Put 1/2 cup rosemary leaves, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, 5 garlic cloves, 8 sage leaves and 1 teaspoon of salt into a food processor bowl.
• Process until you have a fairly smooth paste.
• Lay out the pork loin fat side down.
• Cut along the top side of the"tail" and into the eye of the roast.
• Continue cutting in a sawing motion, unrolling the loin into a rectangle of more or less even thickness.
• Spread the entire top surface of the pork evenly with the herb paste.
• Starting with the side opposite the tail, roll the roast into a compact roll with a spiral of herb filling running through it.
• Tie the roast at 1-inch intervals with kitchen twine.
• Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Set the meat into a round 5-quart casserole dish.
• Add the remaining rosemary sprigs, sage leaves, garlic and bay leaf.
• Pour in just enough water to cover the meat.
• Season the water lightly with salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook, turning the meat occasionally, until almost all of the water has evaporated and the meat begins to stick to the casserole, about 2 hours.
• Skim any foam off of the surface as needed.
• Pour off the fat remaining in the braising pan and pour in the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Adjust the heat to very low.
• Cook, turning often, until the pork has a caramelized golden brown crust, 15 to 30 minutes.
• Let the meat rest for 20 minutes and then slice into 1/4" thick slices.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, cumin, cayenne, and salt, to taste. Rub the mixture all over the outside of the pork. In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat and brown the pork roast on all sides, just until golden. Remove the pork to a sheet tray, fat side up.
• Meanwhile, make the herb crust: In a food processor, combine the onions, garlic, ginger, cilantro, and lime zest. In the same saute pan in which the pork was browned, add the olive oil and the onion mixture and cook until softened. Stir in the bread crumbs and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt, to taste. Spread the mustard on top of the fatty layer of pork and then press the herb crust into it. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 30 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and allow to rest, covered for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice the roast, arrange on a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• Position a rack at the bottom of the oven.
• Mix together the brown sugar, salt, rosemary and pepper.
• Rub the dry brine all over the meat and let infuse for 1 hour.
• Place the tenderloins side by side but not touching in the smallest roasting pan lined with non stick foil.
• Roast for 10 minutes, flip over and roast again until the internal temperature registers 155° on an instant-read thermometer, about 8 minutes more. Let rest for about 10 minutes (the internal temperature should reach 160°).
• If desired deglaze pan with water, wine or apple juice and pour over pork ½-inch-thick slices.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Combine garlic, sage, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Rub mixture over all surfaces of the pork. Place pork on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until browned on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the pork is cooking, whisk together vinegar, water, soy sauce, brown sugar, mustard, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
• When pork is browned on top, remove from the oven and reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Lightly coat the top of the pork with 1/2 of the glaze mixture. Return to the oven and cook until the internal temperature reaches 145 to 150 degrees F (63 to 65 degrees C), about 45 minutes. Pour the remaining glaze over the pork during the last 5 to 10 minutes of cooking.
• Remove from the oven and lightly tent with foil. Allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Slice pork and serve with pan drippings and juices.
