Pork Tenderloin With Butternut Squash And Brussels Sprouts Recipes

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Mix the caraway seeds, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Put the pork in a large ovenproof skillet and rub all over with 1 teaspoon olive oil; season with the spice mixture. Roast 15 minutes, then flip and scatter the mushrooms around the pork. Continue roasting until the pork is browned and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F, about 10 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it starts browning, about 1 minute. Stir in the shredded vegetables, 1 cup chicken broth and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook until the greens are wilted, about 10 minutes. Stir in the dill and lemon zest; keep warm over low heat.
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Put the skillet with the mushrooms over medium heat; add the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil, then add the heavy cream. Return to a boil, then immediately remove from the heat. Slice the pork and top with the mushroom sauce. Serve with the vegetables.

ANCHO CHILE PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND SQUASH

Steps:

• Place racks in top and center of oven; preheat to 425°F. Finely grate 2 tsp. lime zest into a small bowl. Stir in cumin, chile powder, brown sugar, and 2 tsp. salt.
• Toss brussels sprouts, onion, squash, 2 Tbsp. oil, and half of spiced salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to center rack in oven and roast 10 minutes. Toss and continue to roast until vegetables are browned and cooked through, 10-15 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, rub pork tenderloins with remaining spiced salt and heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear pork on 3 sides until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Turn tenderloins onto remaining side, then transfer skillet to top rack of oven. Roast pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 140°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium, 8-10 minutes (temperature will rise by about 10°F after cooking). Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
• Whisk sour cream, 2 tsp. lime juice, 1/2 cup cilantro, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt in a small bowl. Spoon some sauce onto plates, then arrange pork over. Top with cilantro leaves, flakey sea salt, and pepper. Serve vegetables and lime wedges alongside.

EASY ONE-PAN PORK AND SQUASH DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a rimmed 13x18-inch baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Whisk 1 tablespoon olive oil, honey, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sage, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl.
• Place tenderloin on the prepared baking sheet; rub honey mixture onto pork.
• Mix butternut squash, apples, and onion in a bowl; drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sage, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; toss until well coated. Place around pork tenderloin.
• Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender and pork is cooked, 30 to 35 minutes; baste pork with honey mixture several times during roasting. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS, SHALLOTS AND GARLIC

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, grainy mustard, the zest and juice from one of the lemons, white wine, fresh thyme, and the butter. Put the pork loin directly into the mixture, smoothing it on the meat like a paste. Refrigerate.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. When the oil begins to smoke, remove the skillet from the direct heat. Remove the pork loin from the bowl, leaving behind any excess mustard mixture.
• Reserve the mustard mixture. Season the meat on all sides with salt and gingerly place the pork loin in the hot oil. Put the skillet back on the heat and brown the pork, without moving it around, for 3 minutes. Use a pair of kitchen tongs (or two large spoons) to gently (but firmly) rotate the pork a 1/4 turn in the oil. Repeat this process turning the pork every 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the garlic cloves, Brussels sprouts, and shallots in a bowl with the remaining olive oil, and white wine. Season with salt and the chili flakes. Place the vegetables evenly in the bottom of the roasting pan. When the pork is browned on all sides, remove it from the skillet and place it on a rack in the roasting pan. Take care to disperse the vegetables so the heat in the oven can circulate around and under the pork as it cooks. Pour any remaining marinade over the pork.
• Finishing and serving the pork: Place the roasting pan in the center of the oven and cook for 35 to 45 minutes. Test the temperature in the center of the loin.
• If underdone, cook for 5 to 10 additional minutes and test again. Remove the pork from the pan and allow it to "rest" for 10 minutes. Place the roasting pan on top of the stove. Put the heat on low and add the Sherry vinegar and the remaining lemon zest and juice. Stir to blend with the vegetables. Taste for seasoning, then sprinkle with the breadcrumbs.
• Place the pork in the center of a platter (sliced or whole) and spoon the vegetables and any cooking liquid over the top.
