Pork Provencale Recipes

Steps:

• Coat pork with flour seasoned with salt & pepper.
• Heat oil in a large skillet.
• Brown cubes 3- 4 minutes.
• Add onion and garlic saute for 2 minutes.
• Season with salt & pepper.
• Pour in wine.
• Bring to a boil, cover & simmer 35 minutes.
• Add remaining ingredients and simmer another 20 minutes.
• Serve with garlic mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• Drain the potatoes. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to become tender and are just beginning to brown around the edges, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and pepper. Move the potatoes to the far edge of the pan, leaving a space to brown the pork chops. Add the pork chops to the pan and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. As the pork chops cook, give the potatoes an occasional stir so they continue to brown evenly. Place the pork chops on top of the potatoes, shingling them to leave as much room in the pan as possible. Reduce the heat to low and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the bare area of the pan. Add the olives, capers, garlic and thyme and cook, stirring continuously, until fragrant and golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium, add the tomatoes and wine and cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the chicken broth. Put the pork chops in the sauce and carefully nestle the potatoes around them. Cook 3 to 5 minutes more until the pork chops register 145 degrees F in the center on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the pork chops from the sauce and transfer to shallow bowls or a serving platter. Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. If most of the liquid in the pan evaporates while you are cooking the pork, stir in tablespoons of water at a time to get it back to a saucy consistency. If the sauce is a little thin and weak, after you take the chops out, turn the heat up and cook 1 to 2 minutes more to thicken and concentrate the flavors. Stir the parsley into the sauce, remove the thyme sprigs, spoon the sauce over the chops and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet (12 or 15 inches) and brown chops on both sides over moderate heat, about 15 minutes. Remove chops. If necessary, prepare chops in 2 batches.
• Add mushrooms to skillet and saute until lightly browned. Add wine and stir to loosen all brown bits from bottom. Empty mushrooms and wine into a bowl and mix with tomatoes, onions, garlic, parsley and reduced chicken stock.
• Return all chops to skillet (making 2 layers, if necessary) and pour mixture in bowl over them. Season very lightly with salt and pepper, cover skillet securely and cook over very low heat about 2 hours, or until meat is almost but not quite falling off the bone.
• Remove chops to serving platter and keep warm. Raise heat under skillet and boil contents hard, stirring constantly, until the mixture has a viscous, saucelike consistency. Pour over chops and serve.

Steps:

• In a bowl mix garlic, salt and oregano.
• With a sharp knife make deep cuts in to the pork only on meat side,and stuff the garlic mixture into the slits.
• The more cuts the better the flavor.
• Sprinkle the other seasoning the Adobo and the Sazon all over the outside.
• Then rub the seasonings in making sure the entire surface is covered.
• Roast the Pork in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 4-6 hours uncovered in a pan with a rack.
• Roast the pork skin side down for the first 2 hours and then turn skin side up for the remaining time.
• Pork should be well done and tender.
• Make sure all juices run clear before removing from oven.

Steps:

• Cut tiny slits in the roast and push in some garlic.
• Place roast in small oven cooking bag.
• Combine chicken broth, all the lemon juice, oil, onion, bay leaves, thyme, and pepper; pour over roast.
• Put tie around bag, refrigerate overnight, and turn occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove bag from refrigerator, put into pan, and roast for 20 minutes per pound, or until a meat thermometer reads 145 degrees.
• Remove roast from bag-cover with foil and let rest.
• Skim and discard fat from juices in roasting pan.
• Remove both bay leaves.
• Put liquid into 3 quart saucepan and heat up over medium setting.
• Put cornstarch and cold water into small jar, put lid on, and shake it up.
• Add cornstarch mixture to liquid in saucepan.
• Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Season with salt to your taste.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of the sundried tomato oil in a large, flameproof casserole dish. Toss the pork in the flour, tap off any excess, then brown it in 2 batches, transferring to a large bowl once golden and crusted. Use a splash more oil for the second batch if needed.
• Tip 1 tbsp oil, shallots, onion, bay leaves and thyme into the pan and fry for 5 mins until golden here and there. Stir in the garlic and sundried tomatoes, cook for 1 min more, then tip onto the pork.
• Splash the wine and orange juice into the dish, add the orange zest and boil hard for 5 mins. Add the meat and onions back in.
• When ready to cook, heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Stir the stock, canned tomatoes, potatoes and olives into the casserole, then bring to a simmer. Prod the potatoes as far under the surface of the liquid as you can. Cover, leaving a slight gap to one side, then cook in the oven for 2½ hrs, or until the meat is tender enough to cut with a spoon. Spoon away any excess fat and let the stew rest for a few mins before ladling into shallow bowls.

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place the peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and carefully remove and discard pepper skins. Dice peppers.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until tender and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Stir pork into onion and garlic; cook and stir until pork is browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Add diced green chiles to pork; cook and stir until fragrant, 5 minutes.
• Pour white hominy, yellow hominy, chicken broth, water, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper into pork mixture. Bring mixture to a boil and cook for 15 minutes; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors blend and pork is tender, at least 1 hour.
