Pork Tenderloin With Shredded Brussels Sprouts Recipes

SPICE RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS, JALAPENO PESTO AND POMEGRANATE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the pork tenderloin: To a bowl, add the paprika, brown sugar, coriander, cumin, mustard powder, chili powder, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper, and stir to combine.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil in a cast-iron pan over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Sprinkle the tenderloin on both sides with the seasoning mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the pork in the pan and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
• Transfer the pork to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Put the pan into the oven and roast the pork to medium (an internal temperature of 130 degrees F), about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, tent loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch-thick medallions.
• For the pomegranate sauce: Whisk together the pomegranate molasses, vinegar, mustard and honey in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
• For the pesto: Combine the cilantro, cheese, pine nuts, jalapenoes, garlic, and some salt and pepper in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and process until emulsified. Scrape into a bowl.
• For the Brussels sprouts: Put the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet , toss with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until light golden brown and a knife inserted into the centers goes in without any resistance, 20 to 30 minutes.
• When ready to serve, reheat the brussels sprouts in a saute pan with the butter. Then add the pomegranate molasses.
• Plating: Place 2 pork medallions cut-side up on a plate. Top with some pomegranate sauce across the pork and a dollop of jalapeno pesto on the top of each pork medallion. Add some Brussels sprouts on the side, garnish with hazelnuts, pomegranate seeds and cilantro.

SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons grease, crumble and set aside.
• In the same skillet, melt butter in with reserved bacon grease over medium heat. Add pine nuts, and cook, stirring until browned. Add Brussels sprouts and green onions to the pan, and season with seasoning salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until sprouts are wilted and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in crumbled bacon just before serving.

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.

SPROUTS WITH PORK & PEANUTS

Steps:

• Trim any silvery sinew from the pork, then slice the meat into thin medallions. Mix the cornflour with 2 tbsp of the soy, add the pork and toss to coat. Set aside for 5 mins. Stir together the rest of the soy, the vinegar, sugar, rice wine and 2 tbsp water. Let the sugar dissolve.
• Heat 1 tsp oil in a wok or frying pan. Fry the peanuts for 1-2 mins, stirring often, until toasted and golden, then set aside in a dish. Add 1 tbsp oil to the pan, and stir-fry the pork for 3-4 mins until golden but not completely cooked through. Set aside.
• Wipe out the pan if needed, then add another 1 tbsp oil and stir-fry the sprouts over a high heat for 5 mins, adding 1 tbsp water at the end to provide a shot of steam. They should be bright green and just tender, but not soft. If the pan seems dry, add another 1 tsp oil, then tip in the ginger, garlic and chilli. Sizzle for 1 min, then add the sauce, pork and any resting juices. Simmer for a few mins until the sauce thickens and the pork is cooked through. Scatter with the nuts, drizzle over the sesame oil and serve with rice.
