Apple Leek Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
  • Makes 4 servings
  • Time 1 hour 10 minutes

6
  • Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1
    teaspoon, divided
  • 1 cup chopped leek, white and light green parts
    only, rinsed
  • 1 sweet apple, such as Brae burn, Honey crisp or
    Macoun, peeled and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus 1 sprig,
    divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
  • 1-1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1/2 cup applejack or apple brandy

7
  • Directions
  • Preheat oven to 450F.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over
    medium heat. Add leek and cook, stirring, until
    beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add apple,
    chopped thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon
    pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the
    apple is beginning to soften, about 2 minutes.
    Transfer the mixture to a bowl to cool. Rinse out
    the pan.
  • To butterfly the tenderloin, lay it on a large
    cutting board. Holding the knife blade flat and
    parallel to the board, make a lengthwise cut
    through the center of the meat, stopping short of
    the opposite edge so that the tenderloin remains
    in one piece. Open as you would a book. Cover
    with plastic wrap. With a meat mallet, rolling
    pin or heavy pan, pound the pork to an even
    1/4-inch thickness.
  • Spread the apple mixture in the center of the
    pork, leaving a 1-inch border all around.
    Starting at a long side, roll up the pork to
    enclose the filling. To keep the stuffing from
    falling out during roasting, fold in about 1 inch
    of the two short ends. Tie kitchen string firmly
    lengthwise around the roast to secure the two
    ends. Then tie it crosswise with string at 2-inch
    intervals. Lightly brush the roast with 1
    teaspoon oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4
    teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the
    skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to
    medium and brown the roast on all sides, about 4
    minutes total. Transfer the roast to a rimmed
    baking sheet (set the pan aside). Place in the
    oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer
    inserted into the thickest part registers 145F,
    about 15 minutes. Let rest on a clean cutting
    board for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Crush garlic with
    the flat side of a knife. Return the pan to
    medium-high heat. Add applejack (or apple
    brandy), thyme sprig and the garlic bring to a
    boil and cook for 1 minute. Whisk cider and
    cornstarch and add to the pan. Return to a boil
    and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened
    and reduced by just over half (to about 3/4 cup),
    8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat discard
    the garlic and thyme. Whisk in mustard and any
    juice from the baking sheet. Slice the pork and
    serve with the sauce.

Roast Turkey with Potato Pan Gravy
  • Makes
  • 8 servings (3 ounces meat, 1/4 cup
    gravy), plus leftovers
  • Active Time
  • 45 minutes
  • Total Time
  • 2 1/2 hours plus 12-18 hours brining time

13
  • Ingredients
  • Brine Turkey
  • 4 quarts vegetable broth
  • 1 cup kosher salt
  • 2/3 cup agave nectar (see Tips)
  • 2 medium onions, peeled and quartered
  • 1 small handful fresh thyme sprigs (about 1/2
    ounce)
  • 2 large sprigs fresh sage
  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 gallon ice-cold water
  • 1 14-pound natural or organic turkey (see Tips),
    neck, gizzards and excess fat removed
  • 1 tablespoon grape seed oil or canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • Gravy
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 12 ounces),
    peeled and cut into chunks

14
  • Directions
  • To brine turkey Combine vegetable broth, kosher
    salt, agave nectar, onions, thyme, sage and
    peppercorns in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then
    reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool
    to room temperature. Transfer to a 16-quart pot,
    clean 5-gallon bucket or a brining bag. Add ice
    water. Submerge the turkey in the brine,
    breast-side down. Weight the turkey with a plate,
    if necessary, so it stays submerged. Refrigerate
    for 12 to 18 hours.
  • To roast turkey Remove all the oven racks except
    one, set in the lowest position preheat oven to
    475F.
  • Remove the turkey from the brine and rinse well
    with cold water. Thoroughly dry with a clean
    kitchen towel or paper towels. (Discard the
    brine.) Rub the turkey all over with oil and
    sprinkle with sea salt. Place on a roasting rack,
    breast-side up, in a roasting pan. Tuck the wing
    tips under the turkey and tie the legs together
    with kitchen string.
  • Roast the turkey for 30 minutes, rotating the pan
    back to front halfway through. Remove from the
    oven and cover the whole turkey with a double
    layer of foil. Add 2 cups hot water to the
    roasting pan. Continue roasting, rotating the pan
    again halfway through, until an instant-read
    thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a
    thigh without touching bone registers 165F, 1 to
    1 1/2 hours more. Peek under the foil 15 to 30
    minutes before you think the turkey will be done
    if its not browning nicely, remove the foil for
    the remainder of the roasting time.
  • Carefully transfer the turkey to a large, clean
    cutting board let it rest, loosely covered with
    foil, for at least 20 minutes before removing the
    string and carving.
  • To prepare gravy While the turkey is roasting,
    place potatoes in a large saucepan and add water
    to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium,
    cover, and cook until the potatoes are very
    tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain.

15
  • 7. While the turkey is resting, skim any visible
    fat from the pan drippings. Place the roasting
    pan over medium heat. Add broth (or stock) and
    bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits.
    Transfer to a blender, add the potatoes and blend
    on high speed for 2 minutes. If the gravy is too
    thick, add a little broth (or stock or water) to
    thin to the desired consistency. Return the gravy
    to the pan and simmer over low heat until hot,
    about 2 minutes. Season with pepper.
  • 8. Carve the turkey and serve with the gravy.

Peppercorn-Crusted Beef Tenderloin
  • Makes 12 Servings
  • Active Time 25 Minutes
  • Total Time 1 ¼ Hours

22
  • Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons whole green peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon whole white peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
  • 3 pounds trimmed beef tenderloin, preferably
    center-cut (see Note)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • Directions
  • Preheat a gas grill (with all burners lit) to
    400F or build a fire in a charcoal grill and let
    it burn down to medium heat (about 400F).
  • Coarsely crack peppercorns with a small heavy
    skillet (or saucepan), in a mortar and pestle or
    in a spice grinder.
  • Tie kitchen string around tenderloin in several
    places so the meat will hold its shape as it
    cooks. Rub with oil, sprinkle with salt and coat
    with the cracked peppercorns.
  • If using a gas grill, turn off one burner
    (leaving 1 to 2 burners lit, depending on your
    grill). If using a charcoal grill, move the coals
    to one side. Place the tenderloin on the unheated
    side of the grill rack. Close the lid and roast
    undisturbed for 20 minutes.
  • Rotate the tenderloin 180 degrees, cover and
    continue roasting until an instant-read
    thermometer inserted into the thickest part of
    the meat registers 140F (for medium-rare), 15 to
    35 minutes more. Transfer to a clean cutting
    board and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

tenderloin for the beef tenderloin recipe. Ask
your butcher to remove the extra fat, silver skin
and the chain (a lumpy, fat-covered piece of meat
that runs along the tenderloin). If you buy
untrimmed tenderloin, start with about 3 1/2
pounds, then use a sharp knife to trim the silver
skin, fat and chain.

Salmon with Red Wine-Morel Sauce
  • Makes 4 servings
  • Active Time 45 minutes
  • Total Time 45 minutes

25
  • Ingredients
  • 1 1/2-ounce package dried morel or porcini
    mushrooms
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive
    oil, divided

Tips Notes Make Ahead Tip Prepare through
Step 3, cover and refrigerate the sauce for up to
1 day. Reheat the sauce just before serving.
Note Bottled clam juice can be high in sodium.
We like Bar Harbor brand, which has 120 mg sodium
per 2-ounce serving. Look for it near canned fish
or in the seafood department. Tip For more
information about wild-caught salmon, visit
seafoodwatch.org. To skin a salmon fillet, place
it skin-side down and, starting at the tail end,
slip a long, sharp knife between flesh and skin,
holding the skin down with your other hand.
Gently push the blade along at a 30 angle,
without cutting through fillet or skin.
26
  • Directions
  • Combine mushrooms and boiling water in a small
    bowl. Soak until the mushrooms are softened, 12
    to 15 minutes. Strain the soaking liquid through
    a paper towel-lined sieve into a bowl. Rinse the
    mushrooms finely chop. Stir together 1
    tablespoon of the soaking liquid and cornstarch
    in a small bowl.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over
    medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring,
    until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the
    mushrooms and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in
    wine and cook, stirring, until reduced to about
    1/2 cup, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining
    soaking liquid and seafood stock (or clam juice)
    to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the
    sauce is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, 10 to 14 minutes.
  • Stir the cornstarch mixture and stir it into the
    simmering sauce. Cook, stirring, until slightly
    thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat
    and stir in butter, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon
    each salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, season salmon with the remaining 1/4
    teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat the remaining
    1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over
    medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook until
    just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
    Serve with the mushroom sauce.

    (if using), 2 tablespoons shallot, 1 tablespoon
    garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4
    teaspoon salt until well blended. Cover and
    refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1
    day.
  • Place a chicken thigh skinned-side down on a work
    surface. Fill the thigh with 2 to 3 tablespoons
    of the stuffing, first filling the area (or
    pocket) left by the bone and placing the rest in
    the center of the thigh. Roll the thigh closed
    and secure with 2 pieces of kitchen string.
    Repeat with the remaining thighs and stuffing.
    (You may have leftover stuffing.) Season with the
    remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and salt.
  • Heat oil in a large, heavy, high-sided skillet or
    Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to
    medium and add half the thighs, seam-side down.
    Cook, turning 2 or 3 times, until brown on all
    sides, 7 to 10 minutes total. Transfer to a clean
    plate and repeat with the remaining thighs.

    foil to keep warm. Simmer the sauce further to
    thicken it, if desired, or thin with a little
    broth or water if its too thick. Season with 1/2
    teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve the
    chicken with the sauce.
