Cornmeal And Chile Cumin Coated Pork Loin Recipes

CORNMEAL-AND-CHILE-CUMIN COATED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper. Stir together cornmeal and cumin and transfer to a plate. Turn pork in cornmeal mixture to coat well and discard any remaining mixture.
• Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet until hot but not smoking and brown pork, turning, about 3 minutes. Transfer pork to a shallow baking pan and roast in middle of oven until a thermometer inserted diagonally at least 2 inches into pork registers 155°F, 30 to 45 minutes. Let stand, loosely covered, 10 minutes. Cut pork into 12 slices (about 1/4 inch thick).

CAJUN ROASTED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in the cayenne, oregano, pepper, thyme, mustard, and garlic. Cook for 1 minute. Use a paring knife to make several small incisions in the fat side of the meat. Stuff the slits with the spice mix, and rub the remaining mix over the surface of the meat. Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a roasting pan over medium heat. Put the roast in the pan, and surround with the carrots, red pepper, celery, and onion. Lightly salt and pepper the vegetables. Place roasting pan in preheated oven, and cook for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F, and cook for an additional 15 minutes to brown the meat. Cook until meat is 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove roast from pan, and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
• Place the roasting pan, with the pan juices, over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the hot drippings, and cook for 3 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and cook, whisking occasionally, for 6 minutes. Strain sauce, and serve with the sliced pork roast.

CHIPOTLE CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, chipotle chile powder, salt, and brown sugar. Place tenderloins in bag and shake, coating meat evenly. Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Lightly oil grill grate, and arrange meat on grate. Cook for 20 minutes, turning meat every 5 minutes. Remove from grill, let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

GRILLED PORK LOIN WITH HERBS, CUMIN AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Butterfly the pork by slicing through it horizontally until you almost cut through, but leaving it attached on one side. Open the meat like a book. Depending upon the cut, it should be about 1 to 2 inches in thickness.
• In a blender, purée all of the remaining ingredients, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to get a smooth paste. (Add a little water if needed to make the mixture move.) Spread herb paste all over the pork, making sure to cover it thoroughly and evenly. Place the meat in a large resealable plastic bag (folding it back together like a closed book if necessary to fit it in the bag) and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or up to 48 hours.
• Light the grill or heat to medium. Lay the pork out on the grill so it lies flat (like an open book). Cover grill and let cook until char marks appear on one side, 7 to 12 minutes. Use tongs and a large spatula to flip the meat. Continue to cook on the other side until the center of the meat registers 135 degrees on an instant-read thermometer for medium doneness, about 5 to 8 minutes longer. (The pork will continue to cook as it rests.)
• Transfer meat to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
• Serve the pork slices garnished with red pepper flakes, lemon wedges, and basil and thyme leaves.

CORNMEAL AND CUMIN PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Season pork with salt and pepper.
• Mix cornmeal and cumin together.
• Turn pork in this mixture to coat.
• Heat oil in a skillet til hot but not smoking.
• Brown pork, turning, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer pork to a roasting pan.
• Roast at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes until internal temperature registers 155°F.
• Let stand 10 minutes loosely covered.
• Slice and serve.

CHILE LIME CREMA AND PORK RIND CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Whisk together the mascarpone, Parmigiano-Reggiano, scallions, chiles, salt and lime zest and juice in a small bowl. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Grill the corn, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until it starts to char, about 12 minutes.
• Spread the crema onto the corn and coat with the pork rinds.

ROASTED GARLIC AND CHILE-CRUSTED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Squeeze the roasted garlic pulp from each clove into a bowl. Add the salt, ground and flaked chiles, cumin, brown sugar, and olive oil and make a wet rub.
• Stab holes into the pork loin and insert a quarter of a garlic clove into each. Massage the wet rub all over the meat, pushing some of it in between the two loins. Do this ahead, cover, and refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor penetration.
• Fire up the grill, mounding a hot coal bed on one side. Just before grilling, season the meat all over with the salt and a grinding of black pepper.
• Set the meat directly over the coals to sear for 2 minutes, making sure to scrape onto the roast any of the coating rub stuck to the plate it was setting on. Sear the remaining 3 sides for 2 minutes each. Push the meat to the other side of the grill, away from the coals. Cover the grill and adjust the heat so that it's from 325 to 350 degrees F inside. Roast for about 1 hour, till the meat reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees F. Pull the roast off the grill and let it rest for 15 minutes.
• Carve and serve immediately, or let it cool completely and then slice for sandwiches.

CUMIN AND LIME ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°.
• Trim the sliver skin or connective tissue from the tenderloins using a very sharp, thin knife.
• Place tenderloins on a rimmed nonstick cookie sheet; coat them with the lime juice, rubbing the juice into the meat.
• Drizzle olive oil over the tenderloins, just enough to coat (about 2 tablespoons).
• Season the meat with the cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper.
• Cut small slits into the meat and disperse chunks of the cracked garlic cloves into the slits.
• Roast for 20 minutes; remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes, tented loosely with foil.
• While the pork is cooking, preheat a skillet over med-high heat with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the butter.
• Add in the onions, jalapenos, bell pepper, chopped garlic, corn, salt, and pepper; cook 4-5 minutes, or until the onions are tender.
• Sprinkle with the flour, and continue cooking 1 minute.
• Whisk in the chicken stock and heavy cream; bring mixture to a simmer and then lower the heat to medium-low; cook until it is thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add in the parsley and cilantro; taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
• Slice the rested roasted pork; serve with spicy creamed corn.
