Tomato And Minced Pork Relish With Vegetables Recipes

PORK TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH ROASTED TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 5-to-6-inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Toss the garlic, tomatoes and scallions on the baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of the oil until coated and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until the vegetables are charred, flipping them once, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Slice the pork tenderloin on the bias into 4 long "steaks" and sprinkle all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Put the pork steaks in the skillet and cook, flipping once, until well browned and just a bit pink in the center, about 7 minutes per side. Turn the heat down to medium if the skillet starts to get too dark. Put each steak on a plate to rest.
• While the pork rests, core the tomatoes, squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins, and chop them both with the scallions to make a chunky relish. Transfer the vegetables and all their juices to a bowl and stir in the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and remaining 1?4 cup oil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the relish over the pork with crusty bread for soaking up the juices.

GROUND PORK MENUDO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion, and sauté until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes.
• Add the ground pork and cook, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes or until the meat is lightly browned. Stir in the fish sauce.
• Add the tomato sauce and water. Stir, cover and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the carrots, potato and bell pepper, and cook for 10 minutes. Add the green peas and raisins, and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with steamed rice.

TOMATO AND MINCED PORK RELISH WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Cut chiles into 1/4-inch pieces with kitchen shears and soak in warm water until softened, about 20 minutes. Drain in a sieve.
• While chiles soak, blanch beans in a saucepan of boiling salted water 1 minute, then transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain well.
• Pound chiles, shallots, garlic, salt, shrimp paste, and sugar to a coarse paste with mortar and pestle, about 8 minutes. Transfer half of paste to a small bowl, then add half of tomatoes to mortar and pound until tomatoes begin to break up and form a chunky sauce. Transfer tomato mixture to another bowl and pound remaining chile paste and tomatoes in same manner.
• Pat pork dry. Heat oil in wok over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook pork, stirring, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomato mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced and slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add fish sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute.
• Serve relish warm or at room temperature with vegetables on the side.

TOMATOED PORK

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Add the pork to skillet and stir to coat with oil. Place the jalapeno peppers into the pan and cover; allow to simmer 20 minutes. Uncover and remove the jalapenos from the pan; chop roughly and set aside. Continue cooking the pork, uncovered, until it browns completely and the liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes.
• Mix in the onion and garlic; cook and stir about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook 1 minute more. Pour the tomatoes and chopped jalapenos into the pan and stir through the pork. Season with the cumin. Stir, cover, and reduce heat to low; simmer another 10 minutes.

RIPE TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Wash vegetables and wipe dry. Clean peppers, removing all seeds. Run tomatoes, peppers and onions through food chopper/grinder. (I use the food grinder on my Kitchenaid stand mixer.) Add 1 c of salt, mix well and put in a muslin bag. Tie bag closed and hang up over drain overnight. (I hang the bag from the steps of a small ladder in the shower or over a basement drain.).
• In the morning, put reduced tomato mixture in a large bowl. Add vinegar (I start with 4 c first for a less vinegar taste and adjust if needed), sugar, celery seed and mustard seed. Dice celery and stir into mixture. Mix all ingredients well and put into processed pint jars.
• Place jars in canner and process for 10-15 minutes. Remove hot jars and allow to stand overnight. Next day check seals to ensure a tight seal.
• Relish will last up to 2 years if kept in dry, dark storage.
