Pork Fillet With Black Pudding And Spiced Plumb Recipes

ROAST LOIN OF PORK WITH BLACK PUDDING STUFFING AND CIDER GRAVY

Steps:

• For the stuffing, heat the oil in a medium frying pan, add the black pudding and fry for 2 minutes, turning the pieces occasionally, until lightly coloured and crisp. Scoop into a mixing bowl and set aside.
• Add the butter to the pan and, when it's melted, add the bacon and cook until lightly golden. Add the onion and celery, then fry gently for 5 minutes or until the onion is soft and lightly coloured. Add the apple and fry for a further minute. Add the mix to the bowl and leave to cool, then stir in the breadcrumbs, sage, thyme and some seasoning to taste. Stir in the egg to bind the mixture together.
• Lay the pork fat-side down on a board. The meat will be thicker on one side or both sides, so slice into these thick parts at an angle, then open them out like a book. The aim is to end up with a long, even rectangle that's easy to stuff and roll. Shape the stuffing into a fat cylinder and lay it down the middle, then tightly roll up the loin. Secure with kitchen string.
• Heat the oven to 230°C/210°C fan/gas 8. Lay the onion and carrot in a large roasting tin and sit the pork on top, fat side up. Season. Roast for 20 minutes, then turn the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4 and cook for 55 minutes more or until the internal temperature is 70-75°C when tested with a digital probe thermometer (when you pierce the thickest part of the meat the juices should run clear). Remove the pork from the oven and take out of the tin (discard the bones, if using). Put on a chopping board, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
• To make the gravy, pour away the excess fat from the roasting tin, put over a medium heat and stir in the plain flour. Gradually stir in the cider, then stir in the jelly. Bring to the boil, scraping up the caramelised bits with a wooden spoon. Lower the heat slightly, then simmer until reduced by half. Stir in the chicken stock, then simmer until reduced to a well-flavoured gravy. Strain into a warmed gravy boat. Slice the pork and serve with the cider gravy.

PORK WITH PLUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk 1 tablespoon wine, the ginger and 2 tablespoons ice water in a large bowl. Whisk in the flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the pork, turning to coat; refrigerate while you prepare the sauce.
• Remove the zest from the orange in wide strips using a vegetable peeler. Put the zest in a skillet and squeeze in the juice. Whisk in the vinegar, honey and the remaining 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons wine. Add the mint and cook over medium-high heat until syrupy, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the plums and cook until slightly soft, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and discard the mint. Swirl in the butter, if desired, and season with salt.
• Heat 1/4 inch peanut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pork until golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season with salt and serve with the plum sauce.

PORK WITH BLACK PUDDING & ROASTED RHUBARB

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Split the pork fillets lengthwise almost in half and open out like a book. Bash with a rolling pin to flatten, then sprinkle on all sides with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Fill the pork with the black pudding, folding the meat back over it to enclose it.
• Stretch the bacon rashers with the back of a knife, then wrap around the pork fillets, tucking the ends under the pork where possible. Transfer to a large roasting tin, drizzle with the oil, then roast for 30 mins.
• Meanwhile, heat the honey in a pan, then toss the rhubarb in the honey. Add to the roasting tin, then return to the oven for 10-12 more mins until the rhubarb is tender and the bacon nicely browned. Transfer the pork and rhubarb to a warm plate and keep warm while you make the sauce.
• Set the tin on the hob and add the stock. Bring to the boil, stirring to scrape all the pan juices from the base of the tin. Bubble for a few mins, then stir in the crème fraîche and whisk until it has dissolved into the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• Cut the pork into slices and serve with the rhubarb and a little sauce poured over. Serve the remaining sauce separately.
