Prosciutto Wrapped Pork Tenderloin With Mushrooms Recipes

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 425° with rack in centre of oven.
• Remove fat and silverskin from pork tenderloin. Tuck thin end of tenderloin underneath. Place sage leaves on top of pork, evenly spaced along the meat. Add some freshly ground pepper BUT DO NOT SALT! (The prosciutto will take care of the salting here!). Take one piece of prosciutto and lay it over-top of one of the sage leaves, tucking the ends underneath. Repeat with another slice of prosciutto, being sure to cover the sage. Use 2 or 3 slices of prosciutto as needed to cover more of the pork. Place pork in the centre of an oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Brush the top of the pork/prosciutto with olive oil and brush the empty sides of the pan with olive oil as well.
• Cut potatoes in half and distribute on either side of the pork. Try not to over-load the pan or the potatoes won't brown as well. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper and if desired, arrange the potatoes cut-side down in the pan for best browning.
• Place in to pre-heated oven and cook for approximately 25 minutes or until internal temperature of meat is about 150° (time will depend on the size of your tenderloin). When meat has reached this temperature, remove from oven. Move rack up one position and turn on the broiler. Place skillet back in the oven and allow to cook under the broiler for a few minutes until the prosciutto crisps up. Remove from oven and let pork stand for at least 5 minutes before cutting/eating.
• If making the pan sauce: Remove pork to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil and using a slotted spoon (to keep as much of the pan juices in the pan as possible), remove the potatoes to a bowl. Set aside. Place skillet on to a burner, over medium-high heat. Add the wine and shallots and using a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Cook until shallots have softened and are starting to take on a golden colour and wine has mostly evaporated. Add chicken stock, mustard, sage and cream and allow to cook, until reduced by 1/Taste and add salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. Serve over pork or on the side.
• *Note: If you are avoiding dairy, simply skip the cream and instead, add 2 tsp. of cornstarch (or arrowroot/tapioca starcto the chicken stock before adding to the pan. Cook until sauce thickens slightly.

PORK TENDERLOIN WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO, WITH AN HERBED PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Adjust your oven rack to the middle position and preheat your oven to 450. Line a baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top of it.
• Rinse and pat dry the pork tenderloin. Season with fresh cracked black pepper and overlay with thyme. Then wrap tenderloin in prosciutto.
• Heat 2 tblsp oil over medium heat in a skillet or braiser. Brown each side of your tenderloin, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer meat to wire rack set in foil lined baking sheet. Bake until meat registers 145 degrees, approximately 15-18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, deglaze pan used to brown tenderloin by pouring in the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer. Then whisk in the flour until sauce begins to thicken. Whisk in garlic, thyme, and lemon juice. Cook until sauce is desired thickness, whisking often (approx. 5-10 minutes). Off heat, stir in the chives and a dash of salt & pepper.
• Allow tenderloin to stand for a few minutes before slicing. Serve topped with pan sauce.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH A GRANNY SMITH APPLE GASTRIQUE AND CRIMINI MUSHROOM POTATO PUREE AND ROOT VEGETABLE MELANGE AND APPLE FRISEE SALAD WITH CARROT OIL

Steps:

• Slice the pork tenderloin into 12 (1-inch) pieces, and season with salt and pepper. Cut the prosciutto slices in 1/2, lengthwise, and wrap 1 slice around each piece of pork and secure with a toothpick. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a saute pan until hot. Add pork medallions and saute for 2 to3 minutes on each side until internal temperature registers 155 degrees F. Set aside.
• Gastrique: Heat a large, heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add sugar to the pan and cook until the sugar browns. Carefully add cider vinegar (it will steam a great deal, watch your hand). Add apple trimmings, juice, fresh thyme and stock. Let the sauce simmer until it reduces to 1 cup; skim any foam that rises to the top, then season with salt and pepper. You may need to add 1 teaspoon more vinegar at the end to add a little sparkle for taste. Swirl in butter until incorporated.
• Start potatoes in cold salted water, bring to a boil and turn the heat down to a low simmer. Allow the potatoes to cook until they are tender, drain well and puree.
• Saute the mushrooms in 1 tablespoon of butter until soft, add garlic, then season with salt and pepper. Add heavy cream and 1/4 cup butter to the mushroom mixture and bring to a boil. Puree the mixture in a blender until smooth. Fold into the potato puree and season with salt and pepper.
• Saute the leeks in butter, in a medium pan, until they are soft. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add vegetables to the pot, 1 at a time, and cook until tender. Let them drain well and add all vegetables to the saute pan with the leeks, except the beets. Toss the vegetables in butter until heated through, and then season with salt and pepper and fresh herbs. Toss in beets just to heat.
• Toss all ingredients together in a medium bowl and let it sit for approximately 15 minutes.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a blender until smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Use as a garnish to decorate the plate.
