Red Wine Pork Recipes

Steps:

• Combine pork, salt and pepper to taste, wine, stock, carrots and garlic in a saucepan, Dutch oven or slow cooker. Bring to a boil, then adjust heat so that mixture simmers steadily but not vigorously. (If using a slow cooker, just turn it to ''high'' and let cook for at least three hours.)
• Cook, stirring every half-hour or so, until meat is very tender and just about falling apart, at least an hour and most likely a bit longer. Use a slotted spoon to remove solid ingredients to a bowl, then turn heat to high. (If using a slow cooker, transfer liquid to a saucepan for this step.) Reduce to about a cup, or even less. Taste and adjust seasoning, then lower heat and stir in butter.
• Add solids to sauce and reheat. Serve over egg noodles, garnished with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Heat bacon drippings in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown roast on all sides. Remove roast to a casserole dish. Place butter, garlic, and carrots in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in parsley, bay leaf, salt, pepper, tomato paste, and sugar. Pour in red wine, and stir to combine. Pour over pork roast.
• Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove, and arrange mushrooms around the roast. Return to oven, and bake 1/2 hour.

Steps:

• Brown pork on all side in bacon fat. Place pork in narrow casserole dish.
• Using skillet pork was browned in, heat remaining ingredients except mushrooms.
• Pour over pork roast.
• Bake at 325° 1 1/2 hours, adding mushrooms to casserole dish the last half hour.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the salt, sugar and 2 cups water to a boil and simmer until salt and sugar dissolve. Remove pan from heat. Add juniper, sage and red pepper flakes. Let steep 5 minutes. Pour 4 to 5 cups water and 2 cups ice into the brine. When brine is chilled, submerge chops into mixture for at least 6 hours and up to overnight, refrigerated. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove pork from liquid and pat dry. Heat oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Cook pork until nicely caramelized about 6 minutes per side. Remove to oven to cook through completely, about 10 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
• Serve with Red Wine Cranberry Glaze.
• Combine all ingredients into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and reduce liquid by half.
• Yield: 2 cups

Steps:

• Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet over high heat. Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops and sear them until they're nice and golden, about 2 minutes per side. (No need to completely cook the chops at this point.) Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium high, then throw in the whole cloves of garlic. Stir them around and cook until they get nice and golden brown, a couple minutes. Pour in the red wine, then add the bay leaf. Stir it around and cook, raising the heat if necessary, until the sauce is reduced and thick, several minutes.
• Stir in the beef broth (you can add more if it needs the liquid) and add the chops back to the skillet, arranging them so they're swimming in the sauce. Cook the chops in the sauce for a few minutes, then add the balsamic. Shake the skillet to get it to distribute, then cook for a couple more minutes, or until the pork chops are done.
• Remove the chops from the skillet once more, then let the sauce reduce a little more if needed, until it's very thick and rich and the garlic is soft. Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle in a little salt and pepper.
• Arrange the pork chops on a platter, then pour the whole skillet of sauce (including the garlic) over the top. Serve with Lemony Green Beans if desired.
• Snap off the stem ends of the green beans or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife.
• Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the butter. (It helps to use a pan with a light-colored bottom, so you can keep track of the color.) Swirl the pan occasionally so the butter cooks evenly. As the butter melts, it will begin to foam. The color will progress from lemony yellow to golden tan to, finally, a toasty brown.
• Once you smell that nutty aroma, add the green beans and saute for 3 to 4 minutes so the beans take on a little color. Add the lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper, then transfer to a platter in batches with tongs.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in largeish pan over medium-high heat, then add leeks.
• Saute until begining to go soft; add mushrooms and continue cooking until they just soften.
• Salt and pepper both sides of the prepared pork loins, add to pan, and sear so that outsides just begin to colour.
• Turn heat to very low, add about half of the broth, and cover pan.
• Meanwhile, place about half of the red wine in a sauce pan over extremely high heat.
• This should reduce to an almost syrupy-like consistency in just a few short minutes.
• When it has thickened, add about half of the remaining beef broth, and reduce and thicken again.
• Pour the resulting reduction onto the slowly simmering pork, and repeat the process with the remaining broth and wine.
• Again, pour over pork, and continue to gently cook until pork is finished.
• The amount of time this takes will vary, depending upon thickness of pork.
• Watch carefully, so as not to overcook.
• Remove pork from pan, and keep warm.
• Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan, turn the heat to high, allowing some of the liquid to boil off: thicken to desired consistency.
• Remove from heat.
• Serve the pork with a fair amount of the sauce pooled on it.

Steps:

• Place oil in a large, deep skillet on medium-high heat. A minute later, add pork, and cook, undisturbed, until brown on one side, about 5 to 10 minutes. Turn and brown another side. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for a minute or two. Add 1 1/2 cups wine, then coriander.
• Turn heat to low, and cover. Simmer gently for 45 minutes to an hour, until pork is tender. Remove coriander. Stir in remaining wine; cook 2 or 3 minutes. Stir in butter.
• Add lemon juice to taste. Stir in half the cilantro, then serve, garnished with remaining cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together flour, salt, pepper, and cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside 2 tablespoons. Sprinkle remaining flour mixture over pork chops, turning to coat; shake off excess.
• Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add pork chops, and brown well, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven; roast pork chops until they are cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
• Transfer pork chops to a plate; cover to keep warm. Place skillet over high heat; add wine, and deglaze, scraping up browned bits on bottom. Whisk reserved flour mixture into stock; pour into skillet while whisking mixture in pan. Stir in dried fruits. Continue to cook until sauce has thickened and fruits are tender, about 15 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper; serve sauce over pork chops.
