Recipe of the day - 5/21 - Pork Tournedos with Blackberry Gastrique and Mango Salsa
Pork Tournedos with Blackberry Gastrique and Mango Salsa
A gastrique is a mixture of caramelized sugar (or, in this case, sweet preserves) and vinegar often used in savory dishes made with fruit. Mango Salsa 1 firm-ripe mango, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/4-inch dice 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped In a bowl stir together salsa ingredients with salt to taste and let stand, covered, at room temperature. Salsa may be made 2 hours ahead and kept at room temperature, covered. Makes about 1 cup. Blackberry Gastrique etc.. 3/4 cup red-wine vinegar 3 tablespoons seedless blackberry preserves 1/4 teaspoon salt six 1 1/2-inch-thick center-cut boneless pork loin chops (also called tournedos, about 6 ounces each) freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Make gastrique: In a small saucepan simmer vinegar until reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 3 minutes. Whisk in preserves and salt, whisking until smooth, and keep warm, covered. Season pork with pepper and salt. In a 12-inch heavy skillet melt butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté pork until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Cook pork, covered, over moderate heat until just cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Divide gastrique among 6 plates and top with pork and salsa. Serves 6.
