Provided by MarthaStewartWanabe

Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 smoked pork chops, bone-in, 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 cup maple syrup (real or imitation)
1/4 cup apple juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon sage, dried, ground
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet (cast iron preferred), heat oil over medium-high heat until glistening.
  • Season both sides of pork chops with 1/8 teaspoons black pepper. Brown in hot oil for 5-8 minutes on each side or until heated through (and nicely browned).
  • Meanwhile in a small saucepan, whisk together remaining ingredients. Cook over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.
  • Once pork chops are browned, remove to a serving platter (or individual plates). Spoon maple glaze evenly over both and serve.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, choose high-quality pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick.
  • For a more intense smoky flavor, use a cold smoker for at least 8 hours.
  • If you don't have a cold smoker, you can also smoke the pork chops in a regular smoker or on a grill over indirect heat.
  • To make the maple balsamic glaze, use a good quality balsamic vinegar and pure maple syrup.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pork chops, as they will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately with the maple balsamic glaze and your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Cold-smoked maple balsamic glazed pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork chops are tender and juicy, with a smoky flavor that is perfectly complemented by the sweet and tangy glaze. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
