ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH PEACH BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• For the pork and peach bbq sauce: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the peaches, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and ginger in a food processor or blender. Pat the pork dry with paper towels and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Reserve half (about 2 cups) of the peach BBQ sauce and set aside. Transfer the pork, fat-side up, to a rack over a heavy-bottomed roasting pan and brush the rest of the sauce all over the pork. Add the stock to the bottom of the roasting pan. Roast the pork until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 140 degrees F, about 1 hour. For the smashed potatoes: Meanwhile, place the potatoes in large pot and cover with salted cold water. The potatoes will soak up that salt like pasta and it will make a big difference in flavor. Cover and bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain the potatoes, and return them to the same pot, allowing them to dry. Heat the half-and-half and butter in a small saucepot over low heat. Add the mixture to the potatoes along with the cream cheese and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Smash the potatoes with a potato masher and set aside, keeping warm until ready to serve. For serving the pork: Transfer the pork to a baking sheet to rest for 10 minutes, and then thinly slice half of the loin. Store and reserve the other half for leftovers. Remove the rack from the roasting pan and place on the stove over medium-high heat. Whisk in the reserved BBQ sauce and scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate the browned sauce. Cook until slightly reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Serve the sliced pork with the reduced peach BBQ sauce and the smashed potatoes.

5-INGREDIENT GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEACHES

Steps:

• Combine the ginger, 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1 tablespoon high-heat cooking oil, like canola, in a large resealable plastic bag. Sprinkle the pork with freshly ground black pepper and seal in the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
• When ready to cook, move the pork to the counter to bring it to room temperature. Preheat the grill for cooking over medium heat (350 to 400 degrees F).
• Cut the peaches in half crosswise around the pit (not through the stem) for easier release. Twist the halves in opposite directions to release the flesh from the pit. Twist the pit out of the peach, cutting tightly around the pit with a paring knife, if necessary. Drizzle the peaches cut-side up with the remaining 2 teaspoons vinegar.
• Drain off the marinade and sprinkle the pork with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Rub the grill grates lightly with oil and grill the pork until it has nice grill marks and releases easily from the grill, about 8 minutes.
• Turn the pork and cook another 5 minutes. Once more, turn to another side and cook an additional 5 minutes. Remove the pork and cover it loosely with foil. Allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
• Meanwhile, place the peaches on the grill cut-sides down and cook until they have nice grill marks, release easily from the grill and are softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the pork and peaches with basil and additional salt and pepper to taste. Slice and serve.

JAMIE OLIVER'S PORK WITH PEACHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Score the skin of the pork about about 1/2 an inch apart through the fat nearly to the meat.
• Turn over the roast & slice a pocket into the side of the loin by going about 3" horizontally into the meat. Depending on the size of your loin, you may have to cut more or less into the roast. Be careful not to cut all of the way through the roast because you're just trying to make a pocket.
• Smoosh up your butter & chopped thyme with salt & pepper and smear about half of this mixture inside the pocket you just made.
• Push the peaches into the pocket & pack the rest of the butter mixture on top of the gap.
• Snuggly tie up the roast in 3-4 places with butchers twine to keep the pocket closed.
• Salt & pepper the outside of the roast & place in roasting dish, skin side up, with any peaches that wouldn't fit inside the roast & any other roasting veggies you like. (i.e potatoes, carrots, parsnips, Jerusalem artichokes, etc).
• Cook for 50 minutes to an hour or until the pork is done,depending on your oven.
• Take it out of the oven and transfer roast to a plate to let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
• Optional: To make gravy, I remove the veggies from the roasting pan & place the pan on top of the stove (don't do this if it's a glass dish). De-glaze it with a little white wine or water. I let the liquid reduce a bit, add whatever juice is in the plate from the resting roast then add a little pat of butter to make it glossy. This gravy is kinda gooey & sweet from the peaches.
