Dijon Pork Ragout Recipes

PORK FILLET WITH CREAMY DIJON MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan 170°C/350°F/gas 4). Trim the pork fillet, removing any fat or sinew from the outside.
• Heat oil and butter in a frying pan, add the fillets and cook until lightly browned all over. (Retain the cooking oils in the pan.) Remove and place in an oven-proof dish and bake for 15 minutes for medium to well-done or 20 minutes for well-done. Leave in a warm place for 10 minutes before slicing in 2.5cm (1 inch) diagonal wedges.
• Meanwhile, add the wine to the frying pan and increase the heat. Boil until the wine has reduced by at least half, then add the cream and bring back to the boil until lightly thickened.
• Some people might find the mustard in the sauce a bit strong, so you can easily temper it a bit by putting in less than stated in the ingredients list. Add the mustard one tablespoon at a time and taste. Repeat until you are happy with the result.
• Return the pork slices and any collected meat juices to the sauce and swirl until coated. Do not boil the pork in the sauce or it will toughen.
• Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

PORK RAGU

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, then add the carrots, celery, onions and garlic. Stir in the bay leaf and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook the vegetables until soft, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir for 1 minute, then add the wine and cook for another minute. Stir in the stock and bring sauce to a simmer. Add the pork and season with a pinch of ground cloves. When the sauce returns to a simmer add the milk and reduce the heat to low. Let the sauce mellow while you bring the water to boil for the pasta or polenta. Sauce may be made ahead and reheated over medium-low heat. Add a splash of stock or water to thin the sauce, if necessary. Serve the sauce tossed with pasta ribbons or atop creamy bowls of polenta and garnish with lots of cheese and parsley.

DIJON-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN HONEY-GLAZED CARROTS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190˚C).
• In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
• Dry the pork tenderloin thoroughly with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper.
