Southern Style Pork Rouladen Recipes

PORK ROULADE WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND SAUSAGE STUFFING AND MUSTARD MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the roulade: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the pine nuts onto a small sheet tray and place in the oven to toast, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Set up a large pot of well-salted boiling water. Set up a large bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the broccoli rabe for 1 minute until bright green and tender, but still crisp. Remove from the boiling water and plunge immediately into the ice bath. Once cool, remove from the ice bath and use your hands to squeeze out excess water. Finely chop the broccoli rabe and add to a large bowl with the sausage, pine nuts, parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg and crushed red pepper. Sprinkle with salt.
• Heat a small saute pan over medium-high heat with a little olive oil. Take a small amount of filling and cook a small tester patty to test for seasoning. Adjust the seasoning on the remaining raw mixture if needed.
• Trim any excess fat from the pork chops. Cut the pork lengthwise to butterfly, then pound to an even thickness of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Lay a large piece of caul fat out on a large, flat work surface. Place 4 slices of prosciutto over the caul fat, followed by the pounded pork loin on top of the prosciutto. Set half the broccoli rabe and sausage filling on top of the pork loin and shape into a thin log. Wrap the prosciutto and pork loin around the filling and roll into a tight log. Wrap the caul fat around the stuffed pork, cutting off any excess from the ends, making sure the caul fat is in one even layer around the pork. Tie with butcher's twine to secure and trim any excess string. Repeat with the remaining pork and filling.
• Heat a large saute pan with olive oil over high heat. Sear the roulades, turning on all sides, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the pork to a sheet tray and place into the oven and reserve the pan that the pork was cooked in. Roast the pork at 375 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer registers 150 degrees F. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove the string.
• Place the pan that the pork was cooked in back onto medium-high heat and drain off any remaining fat. Add the shallot and cook for 2 minutes until tender. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and stir, making sure to scrape the bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until almost all of the liquid has reduced, then add half the chicken stock. Continue to cook until the liquid has reduced by half, then add the remaining chicken stock. Cook until slightly reduced then remove from heat.
• Slice the pork into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Plate alongside the mashed potatoes and a drizzle of sauce over the pork.
• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan. Add cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 to 2 inches and generously season with kosher salt. Bring the pot of water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Drain the potatoes and add back to the large saucepan. Using an electric hand mixer, mix the potatoes and gradually add the butter and warmed heavy cream, alternating, until the potatoes reach a creamy and silky consistency. You may not need to use all the heavy cream. Add the whole-grain mustard, Dijon mustard and kosher salt to taste and mix thoroughly to combine. Makes 4 servings

PORK ROULADE WITH ROASTED RED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Butterfly the pork loin and pound it out to an even thickness of 1/2 to 3/4 inch.
• Add the broccoli rabe to a large pot of boiling water and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Submerge the broccoli rabe in a bowl of ice water until cooled, then wring it out to remove as much water as possible. Roughly chop and add to a medium bowl.
• To the broccoli rabe, add the breadcrumbs, sausage, Parmesan and egg; stir to combine. Lay a large piece of caul fat out on a large, flat work surface. Lay about 6 prosciutto slices in the middle, slightly overlapping. Arrange the flattened out pork loin on top of the prosciutto. Set the sausage mixture on the pork loin and shape it into a neat, even log. Wrap 2 pieces of prosciutto around each end of the log and fold the prosciutto that's underneath up and around the pork. Roll the pork loin around the filling and into a log, wrapping the caul fat around it in an even layer. Tie with butcher's twine to secure.
• Coat a pan with olive oil and place it over medium-high heat. Sear the pork roulade until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to a baking dish and bake 10 minutes (reserve the fat in the pan for the Roasted Red Potatoes). Flip the roulade and continue to bake until the internal temperature registers 150 degrees F, about 10 minutes more. Let rest for 5 minutes, then remove the string. Slice and serve with Roasted Red Potatoes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the potatoes in a large bowl along with the fat from searing the roulade. Add the Parmesan, garlic, rosemary and some salt; toss to coat. Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet and bake until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

PORK ROULADE WITH CHUTNEY STUFFING AND ROSEMARY GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the chutney: Combine the cinnamon, rosemary, shallot ginger, garlic, chicken stock, apple dried fruit and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce the heat to simmer until soft and plump, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, discard the cinnamon stick and rosemary sprigs. Strain the dried fruit mixture, reserving the infused chicken stock. Transfer the dried fruit mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the vinegar, sugar, walnuts and a pinch of salt.
• For the pork: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Slice the pork lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, the other side. Open the halves, laying the pork flat like a book. Place plastic wrap over the pork; pound to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick, using a meat mallet. Season the pork with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Spread the chutney mixture on the pork. Roll up, jelly-roll fashion. Truss the rolled pork with butcher's twine.
• Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork, seam-side down; cook 4 minutes or until browned, carefully turning occasionally. If the pan gets too dark, deglaze with 1/4 cup chicken stock, discarding the stock in a heatproof bowl after the deglazing. Place the pan in the oven. Roast until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pork from the pan to a cutting board; let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
• Return the pan to medium-high heat and deglaze with 1 cup of the reserved infused chicken stock. Cook, stirring constantly, until the stock has reduced and thickened. Stir in the butter and season the sauce with salt and pepper, strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Drizzle around the pork. Serve with Garlic Rosemary Mashed Potatoes and Celery Salad.
• Put the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Very generously salt the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the potatoes are very soft, about 18 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, garlic, rosemary, shallots and a pinch of salt. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes or until the cream reduces to 1/2 cup. Strain, set aside and keep warm.
• Drain the potatoes then put them through a food mill or ricer into a large bowl. Immediately stir in the butter and gradually pour in the warm cream. Stir until smooth. Season to taste with salt.
• Add all ingredients into a medium bowl; toss gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

CHEESE-STUFFED PORK ROULADE

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, leaving 1 burner off for indirect heat (to finish the roulades). Oil the grill grates.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the broccoli begins to brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 cup water and continue to cook until the water evaporates and the broccoli is tender, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl; stir in the Cheddar and set aside.
• Butterfly the tenderloins by making a 1-inch-deep incision down the length of each without cutting all the way through. Open the tenderloins like books so they lie flat, cover with plastic wrap and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until they're about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the broccoli mixture over the 2 tenderloins, leaving a 1-inch border around all the sides except the long one closest to you. Starting with the long side closest to you, tightly roll up each tenderloin, tucking the narrow ends inside as you roll. Tie each roulade with butcher's twine tightly (without piercing the meat) at each end and at 2-inch intervals in between. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Grill the roulades over direct heat, turning, until the outside is well marked, about 12 minutes. Move them to indirect heat, cover and cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of each roulade registers 145 degrees F, about 15 minutes more. Transfer them to a cutting board to rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lay a slice of onion on a cutting board. Place the palm of 1 hand on top of the slice, and with the other hand, push a metal skewer through the slice crosswise until it comes out the other side. Repeat with the other slices, leaving an inch of skewer uncovered on each end and using as many skewers as necessary. Thread the tomatoes on skewers. Brush the onions and tomatoes with oil. Grill, turning, until the tomatoes are charred and bursting and the onion slices are tender with brown edges, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the tomatoes and onions from the skewers and chop. Mix with the parsley, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.

SOUTHERN STYLE PORK ROULADEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Pardon the redundancy, my recipes tend to be written in a way that I can onderstand. They're pretty darn funny, too. 4 lbs. Pork Loin, sliced like this: Lay the pork loin on a cutting board and start carving it down its length like a jelly roll, about 3/8" thick. Your average chunk of loin at that weight is going to be about 8" long. Let's get this right: there IS a difference between just a regular loin and a tenderloin, they are different cuts. If you don't have a chunk this big, try to think of this as 8 oz. per serving. Now when you have this thing all laid out there, it's going to become a fairly expansive piece of meat. I like to use a stiff boning knife (STOP your sniggering) for this, the blade is narrow and easy to turn as you get to the end. Take that dealy-o and slice it about every 4" so you wind up with about eight 4" X 8" rectangular pieces of loin. Put these between two sheets of wrap and smack them with a meat mallet like you wish you could your ex lover. Cooking can be so cathartic, no? Or am I going psycho? Anyway, flatten it out, and you wind up with about a foot by six inch rectangle. Now you'll need a jar of Chow Chow (southern cabbage relish), some good Dijon mustard, and eight good-sized pickled okra. Spread each rectangle liberally with the Dijon, then the Chow Chow and 2Tb of finely cubed onion (so you need a half of a yellow onion or so here). Put an okra at one of the narrow ends. Roll this whole deal up and then tie it with kitchen string. Now go get a big, heavy saucepan, a three quart or so, and take three BIG sweet potoatoes that you have peeled and quartered. Cover them with COLD water, and start them boiling on high, reduce to a simmer until they are tender when poked with a fork. I say half an hour or so. To this add a stick of unsalted butter (4 oz.), a half teaspoon of ground allspice, and half a teaspoon of cinnamon. Now throw in fresh black pepper, and salt to taste. Mash this, but not too finely, the texture is nice when not over smooshed. Now you will have to put on your famous multi-tasking hat here a bit. So if you are a person who can manage to carry on a phone conversation while driving, you're in like Flint here. If not, go away, and despair. Quit driving ON THE PHONE! WHILE the aforementioned spuds are boiling and simmering, now you are faced with a white mirepoix. Meer-eh-pwah, for your edification and entertainment, via snobby Franch pronunciations. Accent the first syllable and you will seem genuinely froggy and all your friends will admire you. Basically this is the schtuff: One large yellow onion, chopped. One parsnip, about half of the onion's size, peeled and chopped (these things look like albino carrots) and the same amount of celery as the parsnip. Heat a frying pan, the kind that is non-stick and has a handle on the front with straight sides about 4" deep. Get the thing up to reasonably HOT (it needs to be HOT, HEAT cooks food!), and add a couple of Tb. of olive oil. Just regular old olive oil, you will not need something that competes with the gold standard here. Now put in the roulades you made and sear them off, let them become lightly toasted all the way around. Take them out and hold warm. Add more oil. Do not clean out the pan. There's flavor in that thing. Throw down the mirepoix and LEAVE THIS TO COOK a bit, don't fuss with it a lot, so the sugars can caramelize, and this stuff browns up a bit. Now add half a can of tomato paste, and let that toast a bit. After this, pour in either a good pork stock, or if you don't have that, a good beef stock, about three cups. YAHHH! Slide those bad boy roulades back in there, reduce the heat to a simmer, add S&P to taste and cover. Simmer until the mirepoix and rouladen are tender, about 45 min to an hour. Remove the roulades and hold them on a plate, covered, in a warm oven. They should be about butter tender by now. Skim off the fat from the top of the jus here, throw that away, and put the rest in a food mill or a heatsafe bender. VENT the darn blender! Hot stuff blows up if you don't. Pictor is not responsible for napalm attacks! Add about a tsp. of Herbes du Provence. Whizz it up to make a gravy, then add 2 or so oz. of cold butter bits to emulsify this whole concoction. Return it to the pan for a bit. Put the roulades back in. Heat through. Serve. Be congratulated. I like to put down the mash, place the rouladen on top, and nap with the gravy. I also like to make fried sweet potato strings for a garnish. I usually serve this with cooked greens as a side. Oh yes, DO take the strings off for your guests! No one likes flossing WITH the food.
