Braised Pork Loin Franz Joseph Recipe

	Merlin / All my dishes 10 months, 2 weeks ago This unctuously rich recipe could have been served at the court of the last Emperor of the Austro Hungarian Empire. I’ve adapted it to the all American crockpot. But you can almost hear those violins playing a Hungarian Rhapsody. Prep:20m Cook:8m Servings:8	Merlin
	you only live once pork for the austrohungarian court

Does this look good? Yeah! / Nope

Ingredients

4 lb boneless pork loin

2 T. Kosher salt

3 T. olive oil

4 large leeks

2 T. crushed garlic

2 large sweet onions, chopped

1 10 oz can beef consommé

10 oz tomato sauce

10 oz Riesling

2 T. red wine vinegar

4 T. sugar or Splenda

½ c. gin, or ½ c. vodka with 6 crushed juniper berries

5 T. thyme leaves

50 sage leaves, minced

1 T. hot Hungarian Paprika

3 T. sweet butter

5 T. Wondra

Water as needed

Black pepper to taste

Sour cream

Egg noodles or rice

Directions

1) Rinse pork and pat dry. Cover both sides with salt and allow to sit 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

2) Carefully rinse the leeks inside and out. Dirt often gets inside. Cut away the leaves and bottom and cut the white part into 1” rounds.

3) In a pan, brown the pork on all sides in olive oil.

4) In a large crock pot, combine consommé, vinegar, sugar, tomato sauce, sage, garlic, paprika, thyme and wine and gin or vodka. Mix thoroughly.

5) Immerse pork in liquid. Cover with onions, leeks and butter.

6) Cook on high for 6-8 hours. Meat should be fork tender.

7) If the sauce is too strong after 6 hours, add some water. The sauce should be plenty spicy, but if you wish more, add black pepper.

8) When the pork is near ready, add 5 T. Wondra flour and stir in.

9) When done, carefully remove pork and slice into thick slices with a very sharp knife.

10) Serve pork covered with sauce on noodles or rice with a dollop of sour cream on top. Noodles are more authentic, though I prefer rice.
