Roasted Pork with Sticky Mango Glaze
- 1/2 large mango, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks (1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons tamarind paste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- One 4-pound pork loin roast, tied
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 3/4 cup chicken stock or low-sodium broth
- Preheat the oven to 300.
- In a blender, combine the mango chunks with the sugar, tamarind paste, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and crushed red pepper and puree until smooth.
- In a small saucepan, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering.
- Add the garlic and cook over moderate heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the mango puree, season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
- Cook over low heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering.
- Season the pork roast with salt and pepper.
- Add the roast to the skillet and cook over high heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until browned all over, about 7 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork for about 45 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 130.
- Brush the mango glaze all over the roast, turning to coat it evenly.
- Continue to roast the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 135, about 5 minutes longer.
- Light the broiler.
- Brush some of the mango glaze and pan drippings over the pork and broil 8 inches from the heat for 5 minutes or until the glaze is slightly sticky and golden.
- Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pour off the fat from the skillet and set the skillet over moderately high heat.
- Add the wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits.
- Transfer to a small saucepan and simmer the jus until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock and simmer until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes longer.
- Season the jus with salt and pepper.
- Discard the strings from the roast and slice 1/3 inch thick.
- Serve with the jus.
