Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced shallot
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup apple balsamic vinegar *, or 5 tablespoons cider vinegar mixed with 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, homemade or store-bought**, but not canned broth
1 cup veal stock, homemade or store-bought**
6 (1-inch-thick) rib pork chops (each about 1/2 pound)
1/2 Granny Smith apple
1/2 cup golden raisins
Accompaniment: blue cheese potato gratin

Steps:

  • Cook garlic and shallot in 1 tablespoon oil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.

PORK CHOP WITH SAUTEED APPLES AND WILD RICE



Pork Chop with Sauteed Apples and Wild Rice image

Enjoy an easy but elegant dinner by topping a juicy pork chop with caramelized apple slices.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 teaspoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
1 shallot, minced
1/4 cup wild-rice blend (seasoning packet discarded)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 boneless pork loin chop (4 ounces), trimmed
1 teaspoon allâ€"purpose flour
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-low. Add shallot; cook, stirring, until soft, 2 to 4 minutes. Add rice and 3/4 cup water; season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cover, and cook until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 25 minutes. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium-low. Season pork with salt and pepper, and dust with flour.
  • Place pork in skillet, and arrange apple wedges in a single layer around it. Cook until pork and apples are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes, and turn over. Cook until pork is opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes more. Serve pork with apples and wild rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar before cooking helps to tenderize them and keep them moist. You can brine the pork chops for anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat helps to prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry. Cook the pork chops for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork chop.

Conclusion:

Apple balsamic pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet apples, tangy balsamic vinegar, and savory pork chops is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the pork chops with rice or your favorite side dish for a complete meal.
