Recipe: Herb and Peppercorn Grilled Pork Loin
With White Wine Garlic Sauce & Pasta
Ingredients
Loin
1 3lb. pork loin, cut in half lengthways
Olive oil
Fresh coarsely ground black peppercorns
Italian seasoning
Sauce
1 bottle of white wine (Whatever kind you like to drink. If you don’t like the wine, you won’t like the sauce.)
2 tbsp. minced garlic
2 tbsp. butter or margarine
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 lg. chicken bouillon cube
1 med. onion sliced (do not dice!)
1/2 red bell pepper sliced
1/2 yellow bell pepper sliced
1/2 green bell pepper sliced
1-2 tbsp. cornstarch if you prefer a thicker sauce
Pasta
1 lb. of your choice of pasta (I find angel hair works really well with this dish)
1 med. pot water
1 lg. chicken bouillon cube
Garnish
Parmesan cheese
Directions
Loin
Make sure loin is not already cut before doing so. Some come that way. Slather liberally with olive oil. Apply enough black pepper to cover loin pieces but not so much that you dry it out. It should be wet enough to hold a generous portion of Italian seasoning. If you put too much, don’t worry, just add more oil. Cover generously with Italian seasoning. If you have time, let it sit overnight in the fridge. If not, no big deal. Grill (propane or charcoal) over medium heat for 7 to 10 min. on each side. Slice to your desired serving size.
Sauce
Combine everything except half the onion and all of the bell peppers. Simmer and stir, tasting every few minutes. Adjust salt and Italian seasoning as you see fit. When you are satisfied with your combination, throw in the rest of your vegetables. These should cook no more than 5 minutes. Another option for the vegetables is grilling them for a few minutes. Either way, you want them to still be firm.
Pasta
Put bouillon cube in water and bring to rolling boil. Add pasta. Check for doneness continually. If you use angel hair, this will only take a few minutes.
Suggested serving method
Serve pasta first. Place loin slices over pasta. Then sprinkle parmesan cheese over both. Serve sauce over pasta and loin.
Done!
