LOIN OF PORK WITH GREEN PEPPERCORNS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Allow the pork to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Place the pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan just large enough to hold it comfortably. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, 2 teaspoons of each mustard, the fennel seed, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Rub the mixture on top of the pork and roast for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, and cover tightly with aluminum foil for 20 minutes.
• For the sauce, remove all but 1/4 cup of fat from the roasting pan. If there isn't 1/4 cup, add enough butter to the pan to make 1/4 cup total. Over medium heat, whisk the flour into the fat in the pan and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and scrape up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken stock, the remaining 2 teaspoons of each mustard, the green peppercorns, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened.
• Remove the strings from the roast pork, slice between the bones, and serve warm with the hot sauce.
• Homemade Chicken Stock:
• 3 (5-pound) chickens
• 3 large onions, unpeeled and quartered
• 6 carrots, unpeeled and halved
• 4 celery stalks with leaves, cut in thirds
• 4 parsnips, unpeeled and cut in half (optional)

• 15 sprigs fresh thyme
• 20 sprigs fresh dill

• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
• Place the chickens, onions, carrots, celery, parsnips, parsley, thyme, dill, garlic, salt, and peppercorns in a 16 to 20-quart stockpot with 7 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Skim the surface as needed. Simmer uncovered for 4 hours. Strain the entire contents of the pot through a colander, discarding the chicken and vegetables, and chill. Discard the hardened fat, and then pack the broth in quart containers.

PEPPERED PORK AND PARMESAN FLATBREAD SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the flatbread: Combine the yeast, sugar and 1/4 cup lukewarm water in a small bowl and let the yeast puff up and proof.
• Pour the yeast mixture into a large bowl and add 1 cup lukewarm water, the oil and salt. Add 1 cup of the flour and whisk until smoothly combined. Switching to a wooden spoon, add the rest of the flour and stir until you have a soft dough. Rub the dough with a bit more oil, press a square of plastic wrap to its surface and let it rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough, transfer it to an oiled plastic bag and let it proof in the refrigerator at least 4 hours or as long as 3 days.
• For the peppered pork loin: To give the roast a quick cure for added flavor, stir together the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt, rub the mixture all over the roast and refrigerate for 1 hour or as long as overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Blot the roast dry. Crush the peppercorns with a mortar and pestle (or in a spice-devoted coffee grinder) to a medium-coarse texture. (Some will be finely ground, but you want the larger pieces to resemble cracked pepper.) Rub the pepper into the meat, saving what doesn't stick for the marinade.
• Heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat, and add the butter and garlic. Cook until the butter bubbles; add the vinegar, thyme and remaining black pepper, and remove from the heat.
• Sprinkle the pork with 1 teaspoon salt. Heat an ovenproof skillet large enough to fit the pork roast over high heat and add the oil. Brown the meat quickly on all sides.
• Brush the meat generously with some of the pepper mixture, put the skillet in the oven and roast for 10 minutes. Remove the skillet, roll the roast to another side and baste it with more of the pepper mixture. Continue to roast the meat, removing it from the oven every 10 minutes or so to flip and mop, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the roast reads 145 degrees F, about 50 minutes total.
• Transfer the meat to a platter and let it rest for at least 10 minutes, rolling the pork around to sop up its exuded juices. Refrigerate the pork until using. (The pork could also be sliced and served hot at this point.)
• For the doctored aioli: Stir together the mayonnaise, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and lemon zest and juice in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until using.
• Heat a grill over high heat. Generously oil a baking sheet. Divide the flatbread into eight portions on the baking sheet. Press the dough into thin rounds, about 8 inches in diameter.
• Grill the breads over medium-high heat, closing the lid right after putting them on and flipping and turning to avoid any flare-ups. Each flatbread will take about 2 minutes to cook.
• Slice the pork very thinly. Spread some aioli across the flatbreads and pile some pork on one side of each. Top with shaved Parmesan and a handful of arugula. Fold the sandwiches in half and pile them on a platter for serving.

SALT AND PEPPER-CRUSTED PORK

Steps:

• Combine pepper, salt, rosemary and garlic in small bowl. Rub over pork. Let pork stand at least 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in heavy medium ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add pork and brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer skillet with pork to oven and roast until pork is cooked through, turning occasionally, about 20 minutes. Slice and serve.

PEPPERED PORK LOIN WITH BEET AND LEEK PURéE

Steps:

• In a saucepan bring salted water to a boil for leeks.
• Trim and coarsely chop leeks. Wash leeks and drain in a colander. In saucepan of salted boiling water cook leeks until tender, about 4 minutes, and transfer with a slotted spoon to a blender, reserving cooking liquid.
• Trim beet stems to 1 inch if necessary and scrub beets. In a saucepan cover beets with salted water by 1 inch and simmer, covered, 35 to 45 minutes, or until tender. Reserve 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid. Drain beets in colander and cool just until they can be handled. Slip off beet skins and cut each beet into quarters.
• Add beets and reserved beet cooking liquid to leeks and purée with salt and pepper to taste. In cleaned pan heat purée, lemon juice, and vinegar over low heat, stirring and adding water if necessary to reach desired consistency, until hot. Keep sauce warm, covered.
• Preheat oven to 450° F. and lightly coat a non-stick skillet and a shallow baking pan with cooking spray.
• Pat pork dry and sprinkle 1 side with pepper and salt to taste. In skillet brown pork, seasoned side down first, over moderately high heat. Transfer pork, seasoned side up, to baking pan and roast in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 155° F.
• While pork is roasting, boil potatoes in reserved leek cooking liquid until tender, about 7 minutes, and drain.
• Let pork stand, covered with foil, 10 minutes and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Quarter potatoes and serve with pork. Drizzle some sauce around pork and serve remainder on side.
