Instructions:
For The Cider-roasted Pork Tenderloin
1. Combine the cider, maple syrup, and 3 tablespoons
of salt in a 4-cup glass measuring cup. With a mortar and pestle, grind the
fennel, peppercorns, coriander, and cinnamon together and add to the cider
mixture. (The spices may also be put in a small plastic bag and crushed with a
meat mallet.)
2. Place the tenderloins in a 1-gallon zip-top bag and
pour in the marinade. Add the ginger and rosemary, squeeze the air out of the
bag, seal, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
4. Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and dry
them well with paper towels. Discard the marinade. Place the tenderloins on a
sheet pan and rub them all over with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle
with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until
a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 125 degrees. To test the
temperature, insert the thermometer horizontally through the large end of the
tenderloin. Remove from the oven and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut the tenderloins diagonally into
1/2-inch-thick slices, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm with the roasted plum
chutney 中文.
For The Roasted Plum Chutney 中文
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Heat the oil in a medium (10-inch) ovenproof sauté
pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook over medium-low heat for 5
minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add the plums, apple, brown
sugar, orange juice, Port, cinnamon, star anise, mace, and salt. Bring to a
boil on top of the stove, place in the oven, and roast for 25 to 35 minutes,
stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and syrupy.
3. Remove from the oven and discard the star anise and
cinnamon stick. (Be careful; I wrap a kitchen towel or oven mitt around the
handle of the pan to remind myself that it's very hot!) Mash the fruit roughly
with a dinner fork. Serve at room temperature or cold with cheese and crackers.
