Heat the wine in the pan and stir to loosen browned bits of food on the bottom. Serve with pan juices.

SPANISH ROASTED PORK (PERNIL)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

• Lift skin off the pork to 1-inch from the narrow part of the bone. Make 3/4-inch slits all over the pork with a sharp knife. Stuff seasoned garlic paste into the slits. Pull skin back over to cover the pork.

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH BLACKENED ONIONS AND DARK GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a metal roasting pan, loosely drizzle 2 tbs. olive oil around the entire bottom of the pan. Slice onions and place into the pan in a single layer.
• In a small mixing bowl, stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub into the meat, making sure to coat all sides of the loins/roast. Place loins/roast into the center of the roasting pan atop the layer of onions. Drizzle with remaining olive oil.
• Roast uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a meat thermometer reaches 180 F or the juices run clear when piercing the thickest part of the meat. If cooking a whole roast (rather than two separate loins), it may take 15-20 minutes longer to cook thoroughly. Be sure to check the onions in the bottom of the pan occasionally to ensure they aren't burning too much.
• Once meat is cooked through, remove to a serving platter. Scoop onions out of the pan and arrange around or atop the loins/roast. Cover loosely with foil until ready to serve.
• Place roasting pan atop two stove top burners set at medium-low heat (metal roasting pan only!). Deglaze the pan with the vegetable broth (pour into the bottom of the pan and with a wooden spoon, scrape up all the dark bits from the bottom of the pan). Don't worry if the liquid looks dark; it's supposed to look that way.
• In a small bowl, to make the thickener mixture, whisk together flour and water until smooth. Slowly pour a portion of the thickener into the liquid in the pan while whisking at the same time. Repeat until desired thickness is reached. If desired, add more salt to taste.
• For a smoother consistency (if you don't want stray bits of onion in your gravy), pour through a wire mesh strainer into your favorite gravy serving dish.
• Slice pork loins/roast into 1/2 inch pieces. Serve with blackened onions and a drizzle of gravy on top.

HERB-ROASTED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Roast pork:
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Pat pork dry and season with 1 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Straddle a flameproof roasting pan over 2 burners, then heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Brown pork on all sides, then transfer to a large plate.
• Put a metal rack in pan and arrange half of herbs down middle of rack. Stir together shallots, garlic, mustard, and 1 tablespoon oil and smear over top and sides of roast, then put roast, fat side up, on top of herbs. Roast 1 hour. Toss remaining herbs with remaining teaspoon oil and arrange on top of roast.
• Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 to 145°F, 5 to 15 minutes more (temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees as it rests). Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 15 to 25 minutes.
• Make sauce while pork rests:
• Remove rack from pan and discard herbs from rack. Straddle pan across 2 burners on medium heat. Add vermouth and mustard and deglaze by boiling, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until reduced by half. Add broth and simmer 3 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a 2-cup measure. If you have more than 1 1/2 cups, boil to reduce; if less, add water.
• Melt butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook, whisking, until pale golden, about 3 minutes. Whisk in vermouth mixture and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
