Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork loin
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 4 tablespoons butter divided
- 4 shallots chopped
- 3 prigs fresh thyme
- 1 ⅓ cups chicken stock
- 6 ribs celery chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper
- Green peas to serve on the side optional
Instructions
- Pat the pork dry and season liberally with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and half the butter in a heavy pan over medium heat.
- Brown the pork loin, turning frequently, for 5-10 minutes or until dark golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the shallots to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add the thyme and browned pork along with any accumulated juices. Pour in the stock. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Turn the pork over and add the celery. Cover and cook for an additional 40 minutes.
- In a small bowl, make a paste of the flour and remaining butter. Transfer the pork and celery to a platter and keep warm. Remove and discard the thyme. Whisk the flour-butter mixture into the simmering liquid a little at a time. Cook for 2 minutes stirring constantly. Stir in the cream and bring to the boil. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Slice the pork and spoon over the sauce. Serve with fresh green peas, the celery and remaining sauce.
