Elviras Pot Roast Loin with Orange Juice
- 1/2 cups Olive Oil For The Pot
- 2 pounds, 3-13 ounces, weight Pork Loin In One Piece
- 1 Tablespoon Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Pepper
- 4 whole Onions Chopped (I Used Half Red And Half White)
- 4 whole Carrots, Chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, Chopped
- 3 cups Orange Juice
- 13 cups Cognac
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- Heat oil in a pan.
- Season the loin with salt, grind some black pepper all over it and brown it in the pot.
- When the loin is all browned on all sides including the ends, set it aside and then saute the veggies in the pot.
- Start with the onions, followed by the carrots and the cloves of garlic.
- When the veggies are cooked, put the loin back in the pot.
- Add the orange juice, cognac, and sugar.
- Cook for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, put the loin on a rack to cool for a while.
- It will be easier to slice it if it isnt so hot.
- Loin fat will keep the meat tender and moist.
- Dont to overcook the loin because we will have to reheat it with the sauce later, and the cooking will be finished then.
- To make the sauce, use a food mill to process the vegetables.
- I personally think its impossible to obtain the proper sauce consistency with a blender.
- I think the food mill is better for sauces.
- Note: I made some apple puree to serve as a side dish.
- Simply boil the apples, cut in pieces and add some butter.
- Dont add water or any other liquid.
- Its not necessary.
