LEMON THYME PORK LOIN ROAST

Steps:

• Tie the pork roast with butcher's twine at one - inch intervals to help it maintain a round shape for even cooking (a butcher will also be able to do this for you). The pork roast should be approximately 12 - inches in length, not doubled and tied. Rub the roast with the oil and vinegar. Place the lemon zest, garlic, kosher salt, thyme, and peppercorns in the work bowl of your Cuisinart® Food Processor. Process on Grind for 10 seconds, stop and scrape the work bowl, process on Grind 5 - 10 seconds longer, until the mixture resembles a coarse paste. Rub the paste evenly all over the surface of the roast. The meat may be roasted immediately or covered loosely with waxed paper, and refrigerated for up to 8 hours (the longer the rub is on the meat, the more intense the flavor will be). If refrigerated for longer than 1 hour, take the meat out of the refrigerator 20 - 30 minutes before roasting. Arrange the rack in Position A and preheat the Cuisinart® TOB-Series Toaster Oven Broiler to 450 degrees F Bake Setting. Arrange the rack in the drip pan in the upper most position and coat lightly with cooking spray. Center the roast on the rack and roast in the preheated 450 degrees F oven for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 325 degrees F and continue roasting for an additional 35 - 45 minutes, until the temperature when tested in the center of the roast is 155 - 160 degrees F. Turn off the oven, transfer the roast to a warm platter, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Use the Cuisinart® CEK - 40 Electric Knife to carve roast into slices 1/4-inch thick or less, as preferred.

PORK LOIN WITH LEMON AND FRIED SAGE LEAVES

Steps:

• Put the pork loins in a shallow, nonreactive dish and pour on enough cider to cover them. Add the rosemary leaves, thyme, cinnamon stick, bay leaves and salt. Mix well and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 24 hours, turning the loins two or three times.
• Remove the pork loins from the cider brine and pat them dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper and brown them on all sides on a preheated grill or in a heavy cast-iron pan or casserole on top of the stove.
• Heat the olive oil and sauté the onions and garlic in a heavy casserole big enough to hold the loins (if you browned the pork on top of the stove, you can use the same casserole. It must have a tight-fitting lid). Add the rosemary and white wine and bring to a boil, scraping up the cooking juices. Add the loins and lemon slices, cover and roast for about 20 minutes, turning frequently. If the liquid evaporates too quickly, add a little water. The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees. Remove the casserole from the oven and allow the pork to cool in the cooking juices.
• Meanwhile, fry the sage leaves a few at a time in the vegetable oil. Drain them on paper towels and sprinkle them with sea salt.
• Remove the pork loins from the cooking juices and cut them in thin slices. If necessary, boil down the cooking juices so they coat the back of a spoon, like a glaze. Arrange the pork on a serving platter and trickle the cooking juices in a line down the center of the slices. Garnish with the lemon slices. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and keep it in a cool place (not the refrigerator) if you are eating it within a few hours. Just before serving, season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with the sage leaves.
