Hasselback Herb Roasted Pork Tenderloin With Pears Recipes

HASSELBACK PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Grind the fennel seeds and red pepper flakes together in spice grinder or with mortar and pestle until coarsely ground. Transfer to a small bowl. Mix in the Italian seasoning, garlic powder and 1 tablespoon salt. Cut each tenderloin in half crosswise to make 4 equal pieces. Rub the fennel mixture all over pork and let sit at room temperature, uncovered, 1 hour, or chill up to 8 hours.
• Position a rack in center of oven preheat to 400 degrees F. Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high and cook onion and peppers, tossing occasionally, until they begin to soften, 5 about minutes. Stir in vinegar and season with salt. Let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Using a sharp knife, cut slices across each tenderloin, about 3/4-inch apart going as deep as possible but without cutting all the way through. Stuff about a tablespoon of onion mixture in between each slit arranging the vegetables neatly so that there is little overhanging the sides of the tenderloin. Repeat with remaining pork and vegetables. Transfer the stuffed tenderloins to a rimmed baking sheet spaced evenly apart and arrange any remaining vegetables around each tenderloin. Roast until thickest part of the tenderloin reaches 140 degrees F, about 20 minutes. Put 2 slices of cheese over each tenderloin and continue to bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with parsley.

HERB AND GARLIC ROAST PORK LOIN WITH ROASTED PEARS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the pork all over with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil; add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board.
• Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the butter, thyme, parsley, rosemary and minced garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer the toasted breadcrumbs to a piece of wax paper or parchment.
• Brush the pork with the mustard and roll in the toasted breadcrumbs to coat. Return the coated pork to the center of the skillet. Halve the garlic heads crosswise, then add to a large bowl with the pears, onion, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Toss until evenly combined, then add to the skillet surrounding the pork. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Transfer the pork and garlic to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the skillet with the roasted pears and onions over medium-low heat. Add the vinegar and cook until almost all the vinegar has been absorbed and the pears look glossy, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with more chopped parsley. Slice the pork and serve with the roasted garlic, pears and onions.
