From the Test Kitchen

This hearty dish is brimming with warming flavors thanks to the roasted pork, coated with a blend of nutmeg, ginger, white pepper, and cloves (known as quatre épices, or four spices) topped with sweet pear––first roasted in a foil packet with hoisin sauce and rich butter.

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Peel the carrots; halve crosswise, then quarter lengthwise. Core and small dice the pear.

2 Roast the pork & vegetables

Place the diced potatoes and carrot pieces on a sheet pan. Drizzle with the sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer around the edges of the sheet pan. Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and the quatre épices; turn to coat. Transfer to the center of the sheet pan of seasoned vegetables. Roast 26 to 30 minutes for medium (the center may still be slightly pink), or until the pork is cooked to your desired degree of doneness* and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven. Carefully transfer the roasted pork to a cutting board. Let rest at least 5 minutes.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for pork.

3 Prepare the foil packet

Meanwhile, place a medium piece of foil on a work surface. On one side of the foil, place the diced pear, butter, hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of water, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Fold the foil in half over the pear. Fold the three open edges inwards to completely seal the packet.

4 Roast the pear

Transfer the prepared foil packet to a separate sheet pan. Roast 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pear is softened. Remove from the oven. Carefully open the foil packet of roasted pear; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

5 Slice the pork & serve your dish

Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested pork; thinly slice crosswise against the grain. Serve the sliced pork with the roasted vegetables. Top the pork with the roasted pear. Garnish with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
