BRAISED PORK CHOPS WITH APRICOTS



Braised Pork Chops with Apricots image

Categories     Braise     Apricot     Pork Chop     Fall     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
two 1-inch thick loin pork chops
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped shallot
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh gingerroot
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup thinly sliced dried apricots
1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh coriander

Steps:

  • In a heavy skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it brown the pork chops, patted dry and seasoned with salt and pepper, and transfer them to a plate. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet and in it cook the shallot, the cumin, the ground coriander, the zest, and the gingerroot over moderately low heat, stirring, until the shallot is softened. Add the wine, the broth, and the apricots, bring the liquid to a simmer, and in it braise the pork chops, covered, over moderately low heat for 20 minutes, or until they are tender. Transfer the chops to a serving plate with a slotted spatula and keep them warm. In a small bowl stir together well the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter, softened, and the flour until the mixture is well combined, add the beurre manié to the braising liquid, and bring the sauce to a boil, stirring. Simmer the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it is thickened, stir in the fresh coriander and salt and pepper to taste, and pour the sauce over the pork chops.

Tips:

  • To ensure crispy pork chops, pat them dry with paper towels before searing. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent steaming.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or grill pan for the best sear. A well-seasoned pan will help create a nice crust on the pork chops.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing the pork chops. If the pan is too crowded, the pork chops will not brown evenly.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium-high heat until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This will take about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • To make the apricot glaze, combine apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, honey, and ground ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
  • Brush the apricot glaze on the cooked pork chops and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Crispy Apricot Pork Chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are seared until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the apricot glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
