APRICOT PORK CHOPS



Apricot Pork Chops image

This recipe was given to me by my flute teacher and fellow cooking enthusiast. He said we would like it and we did.

Provided by Kathy

Categories     Pork

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup dried apricot, chopped
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup apricot preserves
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 small boneless pork chops, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
salt and pepper
2 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Place apricots in a bowl.
  • Pour orange juice over apricots.
  • Add preserves, brown sugar, and curry powder and stir gently. Set aside.
  • Heat large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil.
  • Cook chops about 3 minutes on each side or until browned.
  • Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce heat to low. Add apricot and juice mixture.
  • Cover and simmer about 5 minutes or until chops are done.
  • Remove from heat and sprinkle with green onions.

Tips:

  • Selecting the right pork chops is crucial. Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Brining the pork chops in a mixture of salt, sugar, and water for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize them and enhance their flavor.
  • To achieve a perfect sear on the pork chops, make sure your skillet is hot before adding the chops. Do not overcrowd the skillet, as this will prevent the chops from searing properly.
  • Once the chops are seared, reduce the heat and cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Apricot walnut pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy apricot sauce pairs perfectly with the savory pork chops, and the walnuts add a nice crunch and texture. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
