Sage Pork Roast With Apple Pork Gravy Recipes

ROAST PORK WITH APPLES & ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat; brown roast on all sides. Transfer to a roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Place apples, onions and garlic around roast; sprinkle with rosemary., Roast until a thermometer inserted in pork reads 145°, 45-55 minutes, turning apples, onion and garlic once. Remove from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing roast. Serve with apple mixture.

ROASTED PORK WITH SAGE, ROSEMARY, AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Using a long knife with a thin blade or a clean sharpening steel, make a channel lengthwise through the center of the loin running from one end to the other.
• Mix the chopped sage and rosemary in a small bowl. Add the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon oil. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then poke it through the channel in the meat (I find it easiest to work from both ends more or less at once).
• Season the outside of the loin generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in an ovenproof skillet large enough to hold the loin. Brown the meat on all sides and on each end, about 8 minutes in all.
• Add the herb sprigs and crushed garlic to the pan and put it in the oven. Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the loin and roast 15 minutes more, basting from time to time with the pan drippings.
• Remove the pan from the oven, cover with foil, and set aside in a warm place for 15 minutes to rest the meat. To serve, cut the loin into generous slices, season with sea salt, and drizzle with the pan juices.
• Chef's notes:
• If you are roasting a larger, thicker loin, make two channels through the meat so the seasoning can be better distributed. Cook the loin longer.
• If you want, you can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. I prefer pork cooked so it's still a little pink at the center. You can expect a reading before the final resting of about 135°F. If you like your pork more thoroughly cooked, cook it until the internal temperature reaches 150°F.

SAVORY SAGE PORK ROAST WITH APPLE PORK GRAVY

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix sage, garlic salt, ginger and pepper. Place roast in foil-lined 13x9 in. baking pan with fat side down; rub entire surface with oil. Evenly sprinkle seasoning mixture over roast. Pour apple juice into pan.
• Bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 1 1/4 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 155 degrees, basting with pan juices every 20 min. Let stand 15 min. or until temperature reaches 160 degrees before slicing.
• Meanwhile, combine 2/3 cup of juices from roasting pan and 1 1/3 cups cold water in a saucepan. Stir in gravy mix. Bring to a boil; simmer 2-3 min. or until slightly thickened; spoon over sliced pork roast.

ROAST LOIN OF PORK WITH BAKED APPLES AND CIDER GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the pork roast in a roasting pan with the ribs facing up, braced against each other. Add sage and thyme to olive oil. Brush the pork roasts with oil mixture and season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Roast the pork loin for 2 1/2 hours, until the skin is crackled. (Put the apples in the oven along with the pork roast in the last half hour of cooking.)
• Remove the pork roast to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. Pour out some of the excess fat from the roasting pan and put it on the stove over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the flour into the hot pan juices, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk to prevent lumps. Cook and stir the roux until its light brown. Add the cider and continue to stir to incorporate. Pour in the chicken broth; boil and stir for 5 minutes until the sauce is thick. Check for seasoning - add lemon juice if necessary. Serve the cider gravy with the pork roast and baked apples.
• To make the buttered apples: Core the apples with an apple corer, making a good size cavity to hold the stuffing. Douse the cut sides of the apples with some of the lemon juice to prevent them from browning while you make the stuffing. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, muffin crumbs, raisins, sage, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Spoon the stuffing into the cavities of the cored apples; stand them up, side by side, in a baking dish and sprinkle the tops with the reserved muffin crumbs. Pour the cider around the apples and bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 375 degrees F, until soft when pierced with a knife. Place the warm apples in the center of a round serving dish. Spoon the cider sauce around the apples and serve with the pork loin.

ROAST LOIN OF PORK WITH SAGE & ONION STUFFING & GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan and cook the onion for 5 mins until soft. Remove from the heat. Once cool, transfer to a bowl and mix in sage, breadcrumbs, sausage meat and some seasoning.
• Untie the pork and score the skin well with a sharp knife. Cut down the length of the meat, then open out like a book so you can stuff the sausage meat inside. Close back up to resemble original shape and tie at intervals with string to hold it together. Weigh so you know how long it will need to cook for. This can be done ahead; chill until needed.
• Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Rub the joint all over with salt and pepper and place in a roasting tray. Cook for 25 mins, then turn to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and cook for 20 mins per 450g/1lb. Remove, and check it's cooked through: any juices that run out should be clear. Transfer to a dish, then cover with foil to rest while you make the gravy.
• Spoon most of the fat out the tray, leaving the meat juices. Place tray on the hob or transfer juices to a frying pan. Stir in the flour for 1 min followed by the stock and cider, and bubble for a few mins. Strain into a jug. Serve the pork sliced, with the crackling, potatoes, gravy and veg.

HERBED PORK AND APPLES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, salt and pepper. Rub over roast. Cover, and refrigerate roast for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Place roast in a shallow roasting pan, and bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Drain fat.
• In a medium bowl, mix apples and onion with brown sugar. Spoon around roast, and continue to cook for 1 hour more, or until the internal temperature of the roast is 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer the roast, apples and onion to a serving platter, and keep warm.
• To make the gravy, skim excess fat from meat juices. Pour drippings into a medium heavy skillet. Stir in apple juice and syrup. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until liquid has been reduced by half, about 1 cup. Slice the roast, and serve with gravy.

HERB ROAST PORK WITH VEGETABLE ROASTIES & APPLE GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut all the rind and fat off the pork and discard so that you are left with a lean chunk of meat. Spread with the mustard, scatter with the chopped herbs and season with black pepper. Place the prosciutto slices on top of the pork to protect the meat where the fat has been removed.
• Spray a large roasting tin with oil and put the pork in the centre. Surround with all the vegetables, scatter with the thyme sprigs, then spray again and cover with foil. Roast for 1 hr, then turn the heat up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Uncover, spray again and roast for 20 mins more.
• Meanwhile, make the gravy. Mix the cornflour with a little water to make a wet paste, heat the stock in a pan, stir in the cornflour mixture and cook, stirring, until thickened. Add the apple and cook for 5 mins until it's softened but still holds its shape.
• Remove the meat from the tin and pour any juices from the tin into the gravy. Spray the veg with oil and roast for 20 mins more (while the meat rests) to brown them. Serve the pork with the roasted and fresh vegetables, and the apple gravy.

• Carve roast between bones to separate chops. Serve with stuffing and gravy.

ROAST PORK WITH CIDER GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/ 200C fan/ gas 7. Score the skin of the pork and rub with olive oil and sea salt. Put the pork, leeks, carrots, turnip and herbs in large high-sided roasting pan and pour in the cider and stock. Roast for 30 minutes, then take the roasting tray out of the oven and cover tightly with foil. Return to the oven and turn the heat to 150C/ 130C fan/ gas 2.
• After 4 hours, remove the foil, turn the oven back up again to 220C/ 200C fan/ gas 7 and roast for another 30 minutes.
• Take the pork out of the oven, remove the meat, cover and set aside to rest. Drain the cooking liquid, pouring off any excess fat. Either serve or discard the cooking vegetables.
• To make the gravy, melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the flour, cook for 2 minutes then whisk in the cooking liquid. Simmer for a few minutes. Serve alongside the meat. Delicious with braised red cabbage and roast potatoes.

ROAST PORK WITH APPLE GRAVY

Steps:

• Put the pork on a board and cut off the string if your pork has been rolled and tied. Slide a large sharp knife under the pork rind and fat, then lift it off completely. Set it to one side. Cut a hole about 4cm wide through the thickest part of the loin, or eye, of the pork. Preheat the oven to 190C/Fan 170C/Gas 5.
• Finely chop the sage and parsley leaves and put them in a bowl. Add the lemon zest, garlic, salt, and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Press some of this herby mix into the hole in the pork and then spread the rest over the surface of the pork until well covered.
• Cover the meat with the pork rind - this will protect the pork and keep it moist as it cooks. Tie the joint at 2cm intervals with kitchen string to keep it together and place in a small sturdy roasting tin. Roast for 30 minutes per 500g, plus 20 minutes. A 1.25kg joint should take 1 hour 35 minutes, but check it is cooked throughout.
• When the pork is ready, move it to a warmed board ready to carve and cover it with foil and a couple of dry tea towels to keep it warm. Holding the roasting tin carefully with an oven cloth, tilt all the juices to one corner and skim off as much of that naughty fat as possible with a spoon and throw it out.
• To make the gravy, put the roasting tin on the hob over a medium head and add the apple juice and 50ml of the cold water. Stir well to lift the juices and sediment from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for a couple of minutes. Carefully strain the gravy through a sieve into a small saucepan and bring it back to a simmer. Mix the cornflour and the remaining cold water to make a thin paste. Stir this into the gravy and cook for 1-2 minutes more until thickened, stirring occasionally. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
• Remove the string from the pork and lift off the crackling and cut it up separately. Carve the pork and serve it without the crackling for anyone watching their weight! Pour the gravy into a jug to serve with the pork.
