One Skillet Pork Roast With Apples
One Skillet Pork Roast With Apples
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp vegetable oil, divided
- 2 large apples, cored and cut into wedges
- 2 shallots, peeled
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 1 sprig fresh sage
- 4 lbs pork loin with fat cap
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
Instructions:
- Set oven to 375F. Grease a small roasting pan with 1 tsp vegetable oil. Arrange apples, shallots, bay leaves, rosemary, and sage in a layer over bottom of pan. Set aside.
- Season pork all over with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining tsp of oil. Add the meat, fat-side down and sear until well-browned all around, about 8 minutes.
- Transfer meat to prepared baking pan and nestle into apples. Sprinkle fennel seeds over meat, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and baste the meat with the pan juices. Continue to bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the roast is 150F. Remove the roast to a serving platter and tent with a clean sheet of aluminum foil; let rest for 10 minutes.
- Slice the pork crosswise into 8 slices. Arrange the apples and potatoes around the roast. Ladle the pan juices over the roast. Serve immediately.
