SALT FREE PORK LOIN WITH ORANGE

A cheap and tasty second course easy to make.
Lonza all'arancia

Salt free pork loin with orange is a very cheap and tasty second course.

Although it seems a very complicated dish to make, in reality, it’s easy and quick, one of those that practically cook themselves. A refined combination that will allow you to amaze your family and guests with a few bucks. I often make it for both important celebrations and an everyday dinner for Dave & I. Thanks to its super speed of preparation it can be cooked at the last minute upon returning after a long day of work and in just 30 minutes you can serve an excellent roaster, pamper yourself with its unique taste, and inebriate yourself with the aromas released by the orange.

Even this recipe, like many recipes that I publish, is made up of a few simple ingredients that guarantee a perfect result.  So let’s start! Above here you’ll find the ingredients, a summary video, and the step by step method. Can’t wait to read your comments and feedback in the space provided at the bottom of the page.

For any doubt, you can always write to me, I will be happy to help you.

A cheap and tasty second course easy to make.

Ingredients

  • 350 gr (13oz) Pork loin

  • 2 Oranges (edible peel)

  • q.s. Fresh Heavy cream (or Double Cream) without preservatives or additives

  • q.s. Extra Vergine Olive Oil

  • q.s. Black Pepper

  • q.s. Water

    Notes

    • In case you use a larger piece of loin the cooking times may vary.

    METHOD

    Take the whole piece of loin and cut it into slices about 0.8 cm (0.31 in) thick.

    I recommend to don’t cut completely the whole slice but only up to about half.

    Cut half of an orange into slices always 0.8 cm (0.3 in) thick and then cut them in half.

    Insert a piece of orange between one slice of loin and the other.

    With a kitchen string tie the ends of loin so as to keep the whole piece of meat very compact.

    In a non-stick pan with high sides, pour extra virgin olive oil, turn on the flame and wait for it to heat.

    Once hot we lay our loin and begin to sear all sides well over high heat.

    Once all sides are well blanched, blend with the juice of an orange. (If you want you can also add some grated orange zest.)

     Add a sprinkling of black pepper and a light drop of water, cover with the lid and let it cook over medium heat.

    After 5/7 minutes, check that our sauce is still watery and turn the loin. If you see that the sauce is too dry, add a little drop of orange juice or water. Cover again with the lid and leave to cook over medium heat.

    Halfway through cooking add some fresh heavy cream (or double cream), turn the loin again, close the lid and finish cooking. After 20 minutes, it should be ready. With the help of two forks place it on a cutting board, remove the string and finish cutting the slices. In the meantime, reduce the sauce over a high flame. You can then serve on a serving dish or in individual dishes, in the same way, it is possible to directly pour the orange sauce obtained directly on the meat or put it aside and let everyone add it at will. You can decorate the dishes by cutting the leftover half orange and add a bit of color on your dish using a few leaves of parsley.
