JULIA CHILD'S PORK WITH ALLSPICE DRY RUB



Julia Child's Pork With Allspice Dry Rub image

The allspice is really what makes this recipe, adapted from "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child, which was featured in a New York Times article about readers' favorite recipes from her cookbooks. It is a simple process: make a dry rub, cover a well-marbled pork loin with it for at least 6 hours, and then roast or grill the meat. A few minutes' preparation before work yields a fine roast for a late supper, or the same time spent on a weekend brings a fine feast in for dinner.

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 7h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3-to 4-pound boneless pork roast with a good marbling of fat, or two large tenderloins for the grill
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme or sage leaves
1 bay leaf, crushed
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 cloves garlic, minced or put through a press

Steps:

  • Dry the meat well with paper towels. In a bowl or a mortar, mix the remaining ingredients together and rub into the surface of the pork. Place in a covered dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days. Turn the meat 2 or 3 times if the marinade is a short one; several times a day if longer.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees, or a grill to medium-high. Scrape off the marinade and dry the meat thoroughly with paper towels.
  • For roasting, place meat on a rack in a shallow pan and turn often until just cooked through, about 30 minutes per pound or until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees.
  • For grilling, place tenderloins on oiled grate, cover, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning every 2 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees. Cover meat with foil and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

JULIA CHILD'S EGGPLANT-WALNUT DIP



Julia Child's Eggplant-Walnut Dip image

This recipe from the second volume of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" is nontraditional but very Julia Child, with her famous love of cocktail snacks. Caviar d'aubergines, fluffy eggplant caviar, is popular in the South of France, but this one contains raw ginger and hot sauce, two of the least-French ingredients imaginable. Feel free to tinker with the spices (cumin and coriander are also good) and the heat level. This dip ripens very well over a few days in the refrigerator. Taste and re-season before serving.

Categories     dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 45m

Yield About 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 firm, shiny eggplants (about 2 pounds total)
1 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts
1 to 3 garlic cloves, smashed, peeled and minced or put through a press
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice (or another warm spice or spice blend, like cinnamon, coriander or garam masala)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Hot sauce, such as Tabasco
5 to 8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut green caps off eggplants and place them whole in a baking dish. Bake until very soft and collapsing, 30 to 35 minutes. When cool enough to handle, scrape flesh into the bowl of a mixer (or use a hand mixer).
  • Beat at high speed for about two minutes, until smooth and fluffy. Add walnuts, garlic, ginger, allspice, two big pinches of salt and one of pepper. Shake in a few dashes of hot sauce. Mix well.
  • With the mixer running, gradually drizzle in oil, as if making mayonnaise, just until mixture is emulsified and creamy. Stop, taste and adjust the seasonings with salt, pepper and hot sauce. If desired, beat in remaining olive oil.
  • Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to one week.

JULIA CHILD'S SALT MARINADE (RUB) WITH HERBS AND SPICES FOR PORK



Julia Child's Salt Marinade (Rub) With Herbs and Spices for Pork image

Recipe from Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Julia says "Fine for all types of fresh pork. This is our favorite, as it tenderizes the pork and accentuates its natural flavor." I used this on pork chops and it was to die for! So easy and so good, the smell in the fridge while it is marinating is intoxicating. I didn't have allspice so I used a pinch each of ground cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. Cooking time is minimum marination time.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 2h2m

Yield 1 pound pork

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme or 1/4 teaspoon sage
1/8 teaspoon bay leaf powder
1 pinch allspice
1/2 garlic clove, mashed (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix all of the ingredients together and rub them into the surface of the pork.
  • Place in a covered bowl.
  • Turn the meat 2 or 3 times if the marinade is a short one, several times a day if it is of long duration (see marination times below).
  • Before cooking, scrape off the marinade and dry the meat thoroughly with paper towels.
  • Time Required for Marination of Pork - If the meat is refrigerated, increase the minimum marination time by at least one third. Chops and steaks a minimum of 2 hours, 6-12 are even better. Loin roasts a minimum of 6 hours, but 24 are recommended. Fresh hams and picnic shoulders a minimum of 2 days, but 4-5 are more effective.
