Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, seeds removed, plus 2 tablespoons sauce from the can
4 cloves garlic
4 bay leaves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
1 large onion, halved and sliced
1 cup canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
6 bone-in pork blade chops (1/2 to 3/4 inch thick; about 3 1/2 pounds total)

Steps:

  • Combine the chiles and adobo sauce, garlic, bay leaves, cumin, thyme, cinnamon and 5 teaspoons salt in a food processor and pulse to make a paste. Transfer to a shallow dish and add the onion, tomatoes, cilantro and 1/3 cup olive oil; mix well. Add the pork chops, turning to coat; cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat a grill to medium. Meanwhile, remove the pork chops from the marinade, scraping off the excess, and transfer to a plate. Transfer the marinade to a skillet; add 1/4 cup water and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid simmers and the onions start sizzling, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside for basting. (You can also do this in a cast-iron skillet on the grill.)
  • Brush the chops with olive oil and transfer to the grill. Cook until marked, 7 to 8 minutes, rotating the pork 45 degrees halfway through to create a crosshatch pattern and brushing with the liquid from the marinade. Flip and repeat, brushing with more marinade, including some pieces of onion and tomato. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes.

Yield Makes 6 (main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For salsa
3 ripe but firm peaches, unpeeled, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced (about 1/2 small onion)
2 tablespoons canned chipotle chiles in adobo, minced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For pork chops
1/4 cup whole cumin seeds
6 pork rib chops, each about 1 1/2 inches thick (ask your butcher to cut them for you)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly coarse-ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make salsa
  • In medium bowl, toss together all ingredients. Transfer to serving dish and set aside.
  • Prepare grill
  • If using charcoal grill, open bottom vents. Light charcoal. Leaving about 1/4 of grill free of charcoal, bank lit charcoal across rest of grill so coals are about 3 times higher on opposite side.
  • If using gas grill, open hood, light all burners, and set on high. Close hood and preheat 10 minutes.
  • While grill is heating, coat chops
  • Using electric spice grinder, pulse cumin seeds 2 to 3 times to crack. (Alternatively, place seeds on cutting board and crush lightly with small sauté pan, using gentle rocking motion.) Rub chops with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and coat with cumin seeds, pressing firmly to adhere.
  • To cook chops using charcoal grill
  • Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack over area where coals are piled highest for 3 to 4 seconds. Sear chops on lightly oiled grill rack directly over hottest part of coals, turning over once, until well browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Move chops to coolest part of grill, then cover with inverted roasting pan and grill, turning over once, until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of each chop (avoid bone) registers 145°F, about 12 minutes total. Transfer chops to platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes (temperature will rise to 150°F). Serve, passing salsa on side.
  • To cook chops using gas grill
  • When grill is preheated, sear chops on lightly oiled grill rack, turning over once, until well browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Turn off 1 burner (middle burner if there are 3) and put chops above shut-off burner. Reduce heat on remaining burner(s) to moderate and grill pork, covered with lid, until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of each chop (avoid bone) registers 145°F, about 12 minutes total. Transfer chops to platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes (temperature will rise to 150°F). Serve, passing salsa on side.

CUMIN-BAKED PORK CHOPS



Cumin-Baked Pork Chops image

This fast, easy recipe for succulent pork chops came to The Times in 1997, part of a deep dive on cumin by the writer Molly O'Neill. It is simple to prepare and can be a delicious end to a long day. Using crushed cumin instead of ground will give the chops a bit of fresh texture, but if you don't have cumin seeds, feel free to substitute.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The safe internal temperature for pork is 145°F (63°C).
  • If you don't have cumin seeds, you can use ground cumin instead. Use half the amount of ground cumin as you would cumin seeds.
  • For a spicier salsa, use more chipotle peppers. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the salsa for an extra kick.
  • If you don't have fresh peaches, you can use canned peaches instead. Be sure to drain the peaches before using them.
  • This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to feed a larger crowd.

Conclusion:

This cumin-crusted monster pork chop with peach chipotle salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the salsa is sweet, spicy, and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
