Mustard Crusted Pork With Carrots And Lentils Recipes

MUSTARD-CRUSTED PORK WITH CARROTS AND LENTILS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
• Toss carrots with 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a shallow baking pan and roast while preparing pork.
• Pat pork dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then brown pork all over, about 3 minutes total.
• Put pork on a work surface and brush with 1 tablespoon mustard. Stir together bread crumbs and 1/2 tablespoon oil, then press onto mustard on pork to form a crust.
• Transfer pork to pan with carrots and roast until carrots are browned and tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat registers 140 to 145°F, 15 to 22 minutes. Let pork stand 5 minutes; keep carrots warm, covered (or continue roasting if needed).
• While pork roasts, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil with garlic and thyme in a small saucepan until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in lentils, broth, and remaining tablespoon mustard and cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper and discard thyme. Serve pork with carrots and lentils.

MUSTARD-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Set oven to 400 degrees.
• Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper.
• Using a spatula spread the mustard all over the tenderloins.
• In a shallow bowl or plate mix the lightly toasted breadcrumbs with fresh garlic (or garlic powder) and rosemary, then dredge the meat in the breadcrumb mixture to coat all over (shake off any excess breadcrumbs).
• Prepare a baking sheet, and generously coat with cooking spray.
• Place the tenderloins on the baking sheet then spray the tops and sides of meat with cooking spray.
• Roast uncovered for about 25 minutes or until golden brown (if using a thermometer it should read 155 degreesF, they will continue to cook slightly after removing from the oven).
• Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Slice the pork and serve.

MUSTARD-CRUSTED LOIN OF PORK WITH MUSTARD SAUCE AND CELERY A LA MODE

Steps:

• For the celery: Butter a shallow ovenproof pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter, place the celery in the pan, and season it with salt and pepper. Add the chicken stock to the pan to cover the celery by 3/4. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat, cover the pan, and transfer it to a preheated 400 degree oven. Bake the celery for 35 to 40 minutes, or until it is tender. Drain the cooking liquid, reserving the celery, into a large casserole and reduce it over high heat to about 2 tablespoons. Add the remaining butter, a little bit at a time, until it is emulsified and keep the celery sauce warm. Keep the reserved celery hot.
• For the mustard sauce: In a medium skillet melt the butter, add the shallot and the thyme, and cook the shallot over moderately high heat until it is just caramelized (a light blond). Deglaze the pan with the wine and reduce the liquid over high heat until it is almost evaporated. Add the veal stock and reduce it for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream and reduce the liquid for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it starts to thicken. Add the mustard to taste, season the sauce with salt and pepper, and strain it through a fine sieve. Reserve the sauce.
• For the pork: Cut the pork into 4 pieces and season each piece on both sides with salt and pepper. Using a small spatula spread the Dijon mustard over each piece of pork. In a bowl combine the mustard seed and the bread crumbs, roll each piece of pork in the crumbs, and reserve the pork. To a preheated skillet melt enough peanut oil and butter to just cover the pan, heat the oil and butter over moderately high heat until it is hot, and add the pork. Cook the pork on 1 side until it is colored. Transfer the skillet to a preheated 400 degree oven and bake the pork, turning it to the uncooked side, for about 4 to 5 minutes, until the inside is just pink. Arrange the Spring Potato Puree on a platter, put the celery beside it, and glaze it with the warm celery sauce. Put a small ladle of the mustard sauce on the platter and arrange the pork, each piece cut into 3 slices, over the sauce. Garnish the dish with the herbs and serve the remaining sauce in a sauceboat.

ROASTED PORK WITH LENTILS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the lentils, squash, bay leaves and 2 1/2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook until tender, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the mustard and thyme in a small bowl; brush all over the pork. Place the pork on a baking sheet and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs. Transfer to the oven and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the bacon, shallots and celery in a medium skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the shallots are golden, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and cook until it evaporates, about 5 more minutes. Stir in the parsley.
• Remove the pork from the oven, cover loosely with foil and let rest 5 minutes. Divide the lentil mixture among plates. Slice the pork and serve with the lentils. Spoon the bacon mixture on top.

ROAST PORK LOIN WITH CARROTS AND MUSTARD GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss carrots, shallots, and 1 tablespoon rosemary with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season pork with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add pork; cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate, and reserve skillet.
• Remove baking sheet from oven; push vegetables to sides. Place pork in center; return sheet to oven. Roast, tossing vegetables occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of pork registers 145 degrees, 30 to 40 minutes. Loosely tent pork with foil. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• While pork rests, pour off almost all of the fat from skillet. Add wine, and cook over medium-high, scraping up browned bits, until syrupy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add flour, and cook, whisking constantly, 30 seconds. Gradually add 1 cup water, whisking constantly. Add 1 tablespoon rosemary. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat. Whisk in mustard, and season gravy with salt and pepper. Serve pork with carrots and gravy.
