The ingredients for Roast Pork with Almonds, Garlic and Sherry-Shallot Cream are:

1 pork sirloin roast on the bone, approximately 6 pounds
3 garlic cloves, cut into slivers
Salt and pepper
2 cups sliced skin-on almonds
1 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 cup minced shallots
1 cup medium dry sherry such as amontillado
2 1/2 cups Half and Half

Here is how you make Roast Pork with Almonds, Garlic and Sherry-Shallot Cream:

With a small sharp knife make slits in the pork roast and slip in slivers of garlic. Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan, bone side down. Let sit at room temperature while you toast the almonds.Preheat the oven to 350°. Toast the sliced almonds on a baking sheet for about 7 to 10 minutes. When they are cool enough to handle, break them up with your fingers until they are coarsely chopped or pulse briefly in the processor. Do not let them become too fine. You want crunch, not dust. Combine the crushed almonds with parsley and garlic. Toss with the oil. Put the mixture in a baking pan and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally with a metal spatula. They will become a wonderful golden brown. Set aside until serving time.Raise the oven temperature to 450°.Put the pork in the oven and roast for 25 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 400° and continue to cook the roast until a meat thermometer registers 140°, about another 20 minutes. Take the roast out of the oven and let it rest. Cover it with foil to keep it warm.While the pork roasts, make the sherry shallot cream: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the minced shallots and cook over low heat until they are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sherry and simmer briskly over medium heat for a few minutes. Add the Half and Half and simmer again for about 5 minutes to reduce the sauce by about half. The sauce should thicken enough to coat a spoon. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the almond crunchies, or picada, to the sherry-shallot cream and heat through.Transfer the roast to a cutting board. Slice the meat so that you have about 2 or 3 nice slices, each about 1/2-inch thick, per person.Spoon the sauce over the meat. If you have leftovers you can warm the pork very gently over low heat, covered in the sauce. Do not boil or the meat with toughen.Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MARGESLP.
