Jamie Oliver Pork Medallions Recipes

MEXICAN MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• First, make the marinade. Peel and chop the onions and garlic.
• Heat a splash of oil in a pan over a high heat, then cook the onion and garlic for 10 minutes, or until softened and starting to colour.
• Meanwhile, soak the chipotle and ancho chillies in hot water. Pick the coriander leaves and set aside, then finely chop the stalks.
• Drain and chop the chillies, then add to the pan with the coriander stalks, cumin, paprika and thyme. Cook for 5 more minutes.
• Stir in the vinegar, tomato purée, brown sugar, orange zest and juice, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and 400ml of boiling water.
• Bring back to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until glossy and thick.
• Allow the mixture to cool, remove the thyme stalks, then blitz in a food processor until smooth.
• Place the pork in a snug-fitting roasting tray and pour the marinade over the top, submerging the pork. Marinate for 4 hours or preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 220°C/450°F/gas 7.
• Remove the pork from the marinade, brushing off any excess, and transfer the mixture to a saucepan for later. Return the pork to the roasting dish and roast in the oven for 8 minutes, so it forms a lovely gnarly crust.
• Reduce the oven to 160°C/325°F/gas 2-3 and cook for 5 to 7 more minutes, or until the pork is tender and slightly pink in the middle.
• Cover the pork with tinfoil and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
• Put the pan of marinade on the hob, adding in any juices from the pork. Let the mixture reduce over a medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until sticky and delicious. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil for a glossy sauce.
• To make the rainbow salad, soak the corn for 10 minutes, then drain and cook in a pan of unsalted boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove and leave to cool.
• Finely shred and place the cabbage in a bowl with the vinegar and a pinch of salt, then scrunch it all together.
• Cut the cooled corn kernels from the husk, thinly slice the radishes, then peel the carrots into ribbons with a speed-peeler. Cut the lettuce into wedges. Add the veg to the cabbage mixture and toss well.
• Make the avocado salsa by scooping out and mashing the avocado flesh. Finely chop the chilli (deseed if you like) and spring onions, then roughly chop the reserved coriander leaves.
• Mix all the ingredients in a bowl with the lime zest and juice and enough oil to get a texture you like.
• Warm the tortillas in a dry frying pan or in a foil parcel in the oven at 170°C/340°F/gas 3 for 6 to 7 minutes.
• Slice the pork thinly, pile on a platter and drizzle over any juices. Serve with the warm tortillas, rainbow salad, salsa, reduced sauce and lime wedges.

PORK MEDALLIONS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the pork on each side for 2-3 mins until golden brown. Set aside on a plate.
• Melt the butter in the pan and, when foaming, fry the shallots and mushrooms over a medium heat for 10 mins. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 min. Stir through the flour and cook for another 2 mins. Whisk through the madeira and boil for 2 mins. Gradually stir through the stock until the sauce is lump free. Add the thyme and mustard and season to taste.
• Return the pork to the pan and simmer uncovered for 5-7 mins or until the pork is cooked through. Stir through the cream and heat again until simmering. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes and wilted greens.

JAMIE'S 15 MINUTE PORK STEAKS, HUNGARIAN PEPPER SAUCE AND RICE

Steps:

• The key to 15 minute meals is to have everything ready before you begin.
• because we're using ordinary brown rice we need to get that going first, though.
• Place the brown rice in a microwave safe container with 800ml boiling water, cover, vent and microwave for 25 minutes.
• Now: * Ingredients out, * Food processor (thick slicer), * Large casserole pan, medium heat, * Medium Iidded pan, medium heat, * Griddle pan, high heat
• START COOKING
• Deseed the peppers, peel and halve the onion, trim the carrot, trim and quarter the fennel (reserving any leafy tops), then slice them all in the processor with the apple.
• Put 2 tablespoons of oil into the casserole pan, tip in the sliced veg, add the paprika and bay leaves, squash in the unpeeled garlic through a garlic crusher, season with salt and pepper, and fry, stirring regularly.
• Slice the pork into medallions, flatten them slightly with your fist, then rub with salt, pepper, the ground coriander and 1 teaspoon of oil, then put on the griddle pan until cooked through, turning when nicely charred.
• Add the balsamic and passata to the peppers, season to taste and bring to the boil.
• Sprinkle the rice with an extra dusting of paprika. Dress the rocket in the bag with the lemon juice and a small pinch of salt, then fold most of it through the sauce. Tip the sauce on to a platter, place the charred pork on top and scatter with the remaining rocket. Drizzle with the yoghurt, scatter over any reserved fennel tops and serve with the fluffy rice.
