Best Pork And Nectarine Terrine Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH NECTARINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle pork chops with seasonings. Dredge lightly with flour. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook chops until a thermometer reads 145°, 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from pan; keep warm., Add onion to same pan; cook and stir over medium heat 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Add nectarines; cook until lightly browned on both sides. Stir in broth and, if desired, honey; bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, until nectarines are softened and sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve with chops.

GRILLED PORK WITH NECTARINES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Bring the vinegar, sugar, mustard and lemon zest to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Cook, whisking occasionally, until syrupy, about 3 minutes. Add the nectarines and cook until just softened, 3 to 5 minutes; keep warm over low heat.
• Meanwhile, toss the fennel and red onion with the olive oil in a large bowl; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Grill the vegetables (with the fennel perpendicular to the grates to keep them from falling into the grill, or use a grill basket), flipping, until marked and crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the lemon juice and parsley; toss to combine.
• Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Brush the grill grates with more olive oil. Grill the pork until marked and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with the nectarines (discard the lemon zest) and the fennel-onion mixture.

PORK AND VENISON TERRINE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Pass the pork shoulder and venison through the medium die of a grinder for a coarse grind. Place the chicken liver in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to a fine paste. Combine the liver, pork and venison in a large bowl that has been chilled in the refrigerator. Chop the onion, garlic, thyme and parsley in the processor until very fine and add to the meats in the cold bowl. Combine the salt, pepper, eggs, cream, brandy, flour, cinnamon and mace and add to the meat mixture. Mix well and chill the entire mixture for 30 minutes. Line a large loaf tin with plastic wrap, pour the terrine mixture in, tamping down to insure an even layer. Cook the terrine in a water bath in the oven by heating some water in a tea kettle, place the prepared terrine into a roasting pan set in the oven, and pour the hot water into the roasting pan, being careful not to get any water into the terrine. Bake for about 90 minutes or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees. Remove from the oven and cool. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the terrine, poking holes in the plastic so that hot air can escape. Place 2 to 3 pounds of weight (such as dry beans still in the bag) on top of the plastic wrap to weigh down and compress the terrine and refrigerate overnight. Remove from the oven and cool. Refrigerate overnight and serve cold with mustard, pickles and green bean salad.;
