Instructions for Roast Pork Loin with Sage Crust and Apple Brandy Sauce
* Defatted chicken stock or chicken broth may be substituted for the veal stock. Frozen concentrated stock, which need not be defatted, is sold at some specialty markets. "Perfect Addition" is a line of frozen concentrated stock bases. It has just introduced a veal stock, which isnt yet in full distribution. **Brandy or Armagnac may be substituted for the Calvados. 1. Combine sage, garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil and peppercorns in a shallow glass or other non-metal dish. Place pork loin in dish and pat sage-garlic mixture on all sides. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 8 hours or overnight. 2. Place pork on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast in a preheated 450-degree oven for 15 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees and roast until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees, about 25 to 30 more minutes. 3. Transfer meat to a hot platter. Cover with aluminum foil or place in a warm oven to keep warm. Let meat rest for several minutes before slicing. 4. Meanwhile, add 1/4 cup of hot stock to pan. With a fork or a wooden spoon, scrape up browned bits from bottom of pan. Skim off fat. Pour drippings into a cup. 5. To make the sauce: Core apples, but do not peel them. Chop into 1-inch cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan. Add shallots and saute over medium heat until lightly browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add apples and basil, stirring to combine. Add Calvados. Raise heat to medium-high. Stand back and ignite sauce with a long match. (Or pour Calvados into a heat-safe ladle and ignite, then pour into pan.) Stir in pan drippings and remaining 1 3/4 cup veal stock; continue cooking over low heat for 15 minutes to reduce sauce. Dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons cold water and stir it into the pan. Bring mixture to a full boil. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately alongside pork.
