Peppercorn Pork With Wine Sauce Recipes

Steps:

Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with pork.

Steps:

• Slice the tenderloin open lengthwise, being careful not to cut through to the other side.
• You want to split the meat into one large, flat piece.
• Spread the mustard over both sides of the meat and rub in the pepper, pressing gently so it adheres well.
• Cut the meat across into 4 even portions.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot.
• Put the tenderloin in the hot pan and cook, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 155°, about 10 minutes total.
• Transfer the meat to a plate and tent with foil to keep it warm.
• Add the broth and wine to the pan and cook over medium-high heat, scraping up any browned bits that are stuck to the bottom; continue to cook until the sauce has reduced to about 1/2 cup, 8-10 minutes.
• Pour the sauce over the meat, season with salt and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Allow the pork to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Place the pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan just large enough to hold it comfortably. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, 2 teaspoons of each mustard, the fennel seed, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Rub the mixture on top of the pork and roast for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, and cover tightly with aluminum foil for 20 minutes.
• For the sauce, remove all but 1/4 cup of fat from the roasting pan. If there isn't 1/4 cup, add enough butter to the pan to make 1/4 cup total. Over medium heat, whisk the flour into the fat in the pan and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and scrape up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken stock, the remaining 2 teaspoons of each mustard, the green peppercorns, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened.
• Remove the strings from the roast pork, slice between the bones, and serve warm with the hot sauce.

• 3 (5-pound) chickens
• 3 large onions, unpeeled and quartered
• 6 carrots, unpeeled and halved
• 4 celery stalks with leaves, cut in thirds
• 4 parsnips, unpeeled and cut in half (optional)

• 15 sprigs fresh thyme
• 20 sprigs fresh dill
• 1 head garlic, unpeeled and cut in 1/2 crosswise
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
• Place the chickens, onions, carrots, celery, parsnips, parsley, thyme, dill, garlic, salt, and peppercorns in a 16 to 20-quart stockpot with 7 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Skim the surface as needed. Simmer uncovered for 4 hours. Strain the entire contents of the pot through a colander, discarding the chicken and vegetables, and chill.

Steps:

• Wipe the pork chops dry with paper towels. Dredge them with flour, shaking off the excess, and sprinkle with paprika.
• Heat the oil in a pan large enough to contain the pork chops comfortably. Brown the chops on both sides. Add the onion, garlic and white wine. Bring to simmer, turn heat down, cover and cook slowly for about 30 minutes, or until the chops are pale whitish-pink in the center. Be careful not to overcook them or they will become dry and tough.
• Remove the chops to a heated serving platter. Stir the mustard and peppercorns into the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste and spoon the sauce over the chops. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Melt the butter with the flour in a saucepan whisking together so that there are no lumps. Slowly whisk in the milk and simmer for 2-3 minutes taking care that the sauce does not stick to the bottom.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the brandy and peppercorns and season to taste with salt. Set aside.
• Lightly oil a large frying pan and turn the heat to high. Add the medallions and sear on either side until they take on a pleasing colour.
• Turn the heat down to the lowest setting, add the sauce to the pan, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the medallions are cooked through.
• Add a little water during cooking if the sauce becomes too thick. Serve with mashed potatoes and some steamed vegetables.
• If you want to make this an even quicker recipe buy the medallions pre-cut.
