APPLE AND ONION-STUFFED PORK CHOPS WITH ORANGE-PINEAPPLE GRAVY



Apple and Onion-Stuffed Pork Chops with Orange-Pineapple Gravy image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 (1-inch thick) pork chops
2 slices bacon, roughly chopped
1 large sweet onion, 1/2 chopped and 1/2 in wedges
4 sprigs fresh thyme, stripped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage leaves
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and sliced thin
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons pineapple-orange juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Oil, for skillet
1 lemon, zested
2 teaspoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Gently cut pockets into chops by slicing horizontally in the side. On a plate, place salt and pepper. Dredge chops in seasoning. In a medium skillet over medium heat, saute the bacon, chopped onions, thyme, and sage until the bacon is almost crispy and the onions are beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 10 minutes. Pour mixture into a bowl. Add apples, butter, 2 tablespoons of pineapple-orange juice and cinnamon. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff each chop with apple mixture and hold together with skewers. In same skillet over medium-high heat, add enough oil to coat the pan and sear both sides of the chops until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Add 1 cup pineapple-orange juice and remaining onion wedges around the chops. Season with salt and pepper and bake until cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chops, basting 2 to 3 times. Remove pork chops from pan and let rest 10 minutes. Add remaining pineapple-orange juice and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan. Bring the liquid to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add lemon zest and parsley. Pour sauce over pork chops.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check for doneness by cutting into the thickest part of the pork chop. The meat should be cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • To prevent the apples from browning too much, you can toss them in a little bit of lemon juice before adding them to the pork chops.
  • If you don't have orange marmalade, you can use another type of fruit preserves, such as apple butter or apricot preserves.
  • To make the pork chops even more flavorful, you can marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking.

Conclusion:

Apple and orange stuffed pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the apples and oranges add a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
