Pork And Apple Salad Recipes

SPICED ROAST PORK WITH FENNEL AND APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Pork:
• Cook chiles, star anise, fennel seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, peppercorns, and cloves in a dry small skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until slightly darkened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool. Set one-fourth of spice mixture aside.
• Blend garlic, vinegar, ¼ cup oil, and ¼ cup water in a blender until smooth. Add remaining toasted spices and blend, adding splashes of water if needed to help turn the blades, until chile paste is mostly smooth; some texture is okay.
• Season pork with 1 tsp. kosher salt per pound (check the butcher's sticker on the package to see the weight of what you purchased). Smear half of chile paste all over pork; transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet or a roasting pan and let sit at room temperature at least 2 hours, or cover and chill up to 12 hours.
• Finely grind reserved spice mixture in a spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small skillet; stir in remaining ¼ cup oil. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring, until spices have darkened slightly and are fragrant, about 1 minute. Let spice oil cool, then transfer to an airtight container. Cover and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 275°F. Roast pork until paste is darkened and looks dried out and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 120°F, 1½-2 hours, depending on the size. Make sure to take the temperature in more than one spot as there will be thick and thin parts of the roast. Let rest 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 500°F. Rub pork with reserved chile paste and roast until marinade has formed a fragrant crust and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130°F, 8-12 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes. Thinly slice and transfer to a platter. Spoon reserved spice oil over pork; sprinkle with sea salt.
• Salad and assembly:
• Toss fennel bulb and fronds, apple, lime zest and juice, chiles, and cilantro in a large bowl; season salad with salt. Drizzle oil over and toss to coat. Serve pork with salad.

BEST APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the apples, bell pepper, red onion and kidney beans. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard and pepper. Pour over the salad, and stir gently to coat.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLE AND ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Season the pork all over with salt and pepper. Combine the mustard, maple syrup, sage, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Rub all over the pork and set aside to marinate while you prepare the salad.
• Meanwhile, with a sharp paring knife, remove the peel and pith from the oranges. Working over a large bowl, cut along the membranes to remove the segments. Squeeze the membranes to release any remaining juice into the bowl. Add the apple, radicchio, parsley, walnuts and remaining 1 tablespoon each olive oil and lemon juice to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil. Add the pork to the pan and drizzle with any remaining marinade. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 135˚ F, 15 to 20 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and broil until the marinade is browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
• Slice the pork and serve with the apple and orange salad.
