Prep Time: 35 Minutes
Cook Time: 100 Minutes
Ready In: 135 Minutes
Servings: 3
Ingredients:
3 pork tenderloins, cleaned
6 pieces thinly sliced prosciutto
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt and pepper
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
apple trimmings
1/2 cup apple juice
3 sprigs fresh thyme
4 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper
crimini mushroom potato puree, recipe follows
root vegetable melange, recipe follows
apple frisee salad, recipe follows
carrot oil, recipe follows
Directions:
1. Slice the pork tenderloin into 12 (1-inch) pieces, and season with salt and pepper. Cut the prosciutto slices in 1/2, lengthwise, and wrap 1 slice around each piece of pork and secure with a toothpick. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a saute pan until hot. Add pork medallions and saute for 2 to3 minutes on each side until internal temperature registers 155 degrees F. Set aside.
2. Gastrique: Heat a large, heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add sugar to the pan and cook until the sugar browns. Carefully add cider vinegar (it will steam a great deal, watch your hand). Add apple trimmings, juice, fresh thyme and stock. Let the sauce simmer until it reduces to 1 cup; skim any foam that rises to the top, then season with salt and pepper. You may need to add 1 teaspoon more vinegar at the end to add a little sparkle for taste. Swirl in butter until incorporated.
