Description
Pork wrapped in pastry with a sauce based on cider and brandy
Ingredients
- Semi-soft cream cheese - 3 oz
- Pickled Apples - ¼ piece
- Garlic - 2 cloves
- Chopped Sage Leaves - 2 tablespoons
- Ham - 5 pieces
- Pork tenderloin - 17.6 oz
- Chicken Egg - 1 piece
- Puff Pastry - 8.8 oz
- Butter - 1 tablespoon
- Shallot - 1 piece
- Brandy - ¼ cup
- Cider - ½ cup
- Olive Oil - ½ tablespoon
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 428°F.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, apples (peeled and finely diced), brandy, 1 clove of garlic (pressed), and chopped sage.
Step 3
Rinse and dry the tenderloin, then make a cut along the length, 2 cm deep.
Step 4
Spread the cream cheese mixture with apples inside the cut.
Step 5
Lay out 5–6 slices of ham on the table to wrap around the tenderloin. Tie with string or thread.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat 0.5 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the pork on all sides until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Step 7
Roll out the pastry into a rectangle large enough to wrap the tenderloin.
Step 8
Take the tenderloin wrapped in ham out of the refrigerator, remove the string, place the pork on the pastry, and seal the edges (you can brush with water for a stronger seal).
Step 9
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the pork in pastry seam side down. Brush the pastry with an egg beaten with water.
Step 10
Bake the pork for 20–25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let the meat rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 12
While the tenderloin is in the oven, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 13
Add the chopped shallot and 1 clove of garlic, sauté until translucent, about 1 minute.
Step 14
Add the apple cider and brandy. Increase the heat and simmer for 12–15 minutes, or until the liquid reduces by about half. Add finely chopped sage.
Step 15
Serve the tenderloin in pastry sliced, with the sauce in a gravy boat.
