Pork Roulade with Apple Cider Reduction
Pork Roulade with Apple Cider Reduction is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any special occasion. This dish is made with tender pork loin that is stuffed with a flavorful mixture of herbs, garlic, and breadcrumbs, then rolled up and roasted to perfection. The dish is then topped with a sweet and tangy apple cider reduction that perfectly complements the savory flavors of the pork.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pork loin (about 2 pounds)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lay the pork loin flat on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to butterfly it, cutting it almost all the way through so that it can be opened up like a book. Season the inside of the pork loin with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Spread the mixture evenly over the inside of the pork loin, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the pork loin up tightly and tie it with kitchen twine to keep it together.
Place the pork loin in a roasting pan and roast for about 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
While the pork is resting, make the apple cider reduction. In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced by half. Stir in the butter until melted and smooth.
To serve, slice the pork roulade into thick slices and drizzle with the apple cider reduction. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy dinner at home.
