Peppercorn Roasted Pork With Vermouth Pan Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Grind 1/4 cup pink peppercorns with black peppercorns and fennel seeds in grinder, then stir together with garlic, oil, and 1 tablespoon salt.
• Pat pork dry and use a paring knife to make about 16 (1-inch-deep) slits all over roast. Stuff slits with all but 1 tablespoon garlic-peppercorn paste, then rub remaining tablespoon all over roast. Put in a small (13-by 9-inch) flameproof roasting pan and marinate, chilled, 8 to 24 hours.
• Let pork stand at room temperature 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Roast pork, fat side up, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat registers 150°F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pour off all but about 1 tablespoon fat from roasting pan. Add vermouth to pan and boil, scraping up brown bits, 2 minutes. Stir in broth, any meat juices from cutting board, and remaining 2 tablespoons pink peppercorns and boil until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, about 5 minutes.
• Knead together butter and flour, then whisk into sauce and boil, whisking constantly, until just slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Serve pork with sauce.

Steps:

• Place the roast onto a cutting board with the short side toward you and fat facing down. Using a sharp filet knife (with the blade horizontal to the board), butterfly the roast open about 1 inch from the bottom of the roast. Work carefully to not cut all the way through. Continue to slice horizontally, opening the roast up until you have a large, thin, flat piece of meat. Place the pork in large airtight freezer bag (or large plastic container with a lid).
• To prepare the brine, bring 6 cups water, the salt, sugar, peppercorns, garlic, thyme, bay leaves and onions to a simmer in a medium pot over medium heat. Stir until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and cool by adding the ice cubes. Pour the brine into the freezer bag, submerging the roast completely, seal and set aside for 25 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Remove the pork from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Lay the sausages inside lengthwise. Pierce the casings with the tip of a sharp paring knife (this will ensure the flavor of the sausage goes into the pork as it cooks). Starting with the short side, roll up the roast tightly, jelly roll style. Secure the roast with tightly fitted kitchen twine at even intervals about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, the granulated garlic and paprika.
• Heat the oil in a large cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the roast and sear fat-side down first, 3 to 4 minutes, and then on each of the three other sides. When turned to the final side, transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the internal temperature hits 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 45 to 55 minutes. Remove the roast from the oven; rest the pork on a platter while you make gravy from the pan drippings.
• Set the pan over medium-low heat. Add a little oil, if needed, and saute the onions, carrots and celery. Cook the vegetables until well caramelized, about 8 minutes. Then season with salt and pepper. Deglaze the pan with the vermouth and reduce until the liquid has almost completely reduced. Add the chicken stock and reduce again for another 5 minutes; this will ensure you have a nice, rich sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the pan from the heat and swirl in the butter to thicken the sauce. Finish with the lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice and serve the sauce over sliced andouille-stuffed pork loin.

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, pepper and thyme in a shallow pan. Dredge pork chops in flour.
• Add butter and oil in pan and heat over med-high. Brown pork chops on both sides, about 4 minute.
• Add 1/2 cup vermouth, cover, lower heat and cook until chops are cooked through, about 4 more minute.
• Remove pork chops to platter, top with swiss chesse and cover to keep warm and melt cheese.
• Add mushrooms to skillet and cook over med-high heat until softened.
• Add remaining vermouth and scrape off brown bits from pan. Cook until sauce is slightly reduced.
• Spoon sauce over pork chops and serve.

Steps:

• Pound the chops just a little, to about 3/4 in thick; season with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in the flour.
• Heat the oil and 1 TBS of the butter in a large skillet; sear the chops (about 2 minutes on each side), then remove to a plate.
• Add the remaining butter to the skillet, and when it has melted, add the onions and cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the vermouth and the water; reduce heat and simmer for about 4 minutes.
• Stir in the crushed bouillon cube and the capers; return chops to the pan and pour in any accumulated juices.
• Reduce heat again to a gentle but steady simmer; cover and cook for about 6 minutes.
• Turn the chops and cook an additional 5 minutes, covered, then remove them to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Increase heat and bring to a boil, cooking until the liquid is reduced by half (1-2 minutes).
• Remove from heat and stir in the cream and any accumulated juices from the waiting chops; mix well.
• Serve sauce over chops, with parsley sprinkled over all.

Steps:

• With a large mortar and pestle, mash the garlic, coarse salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and peppercorns into a fine paste. Transfer to a large bowl.
• With a mallet, flatten the pork medallions to 1/4 inch thick. Place in the bowl with the garlic mixture, tossing to coat. Cover, and marinate 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over high heat. Stir in the pork and remaining garlic mixture. Quickly brown pork about 1 minute on each side. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Place red peppers into the skillet, and saute 2 to 5 minutes, until tender but firm. Pour white wine into the skillet, and scrape up the browned bits. Reduce heat to low, return pork to skillet, and continue cooking 10 to 15 minutes, to an internal temperature of 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
• Slice 1 1/2 lemons into thin rounds. Transfer the pork and pepper mixture to a serving platter. Squeeze juice of remaining 1/2 lemon over the pork and peppers, and garnish with the lemon rounds.
