PAN ROASTED WILD BOAR CHOPS RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Pan Roasted Wild Boar Chops Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by á-174942

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds boar or feral pig chops - (to 3) bone in or out (looks better with the bone!)
1 tablespoon Lawry's Seasoned Pepper
2 teaspoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
1 lemon juice only
8 whole garlic cloves - (to 10)
6 whole peeled shallots - (to 8)
1 cup baby carrots
2 celery stalks cut 2" pieces
1 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup chilled butter cut into 4 pieces

Steps:

  • Season meat with Lawry's Seasoned Salt and Lawry's Seasoned Pepper. Toss seasoned chops with 1/4 cup of the olive oil, rosemary and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours. Heat remaining oil in a large ovenproof skillet. Add chops and lightly brown on both sides. Remove chops and set aside. Add garlic, shallots, carrots and celery and cook until lightly browned. Return chops to the pan and place the pan in a preheated 375 degree oven. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes more or until chops are just done and shallots are slightly soft. Remove pan from oven. Remove chops from pan and keep warm. Place pan over a medium-high burner and add wine. Reduce wine to about 2 tablespoons. Remove from heat and whisk in chilled butter until melted. To serve, place vegetables on plates and arrange chops over. Drizzle sauce over chops. This recipe yields 4 servings. There is a relatively small danger that your hog, boar, etc. may carry the parasite trichinella, which causes trichinosis... a bad thing. Make sure that the meat is cooked to an internal temperature of 155 degrees for several minutes, just to be safe. It's also best to trim most of the fat from the chops as it often imparts unpleasant flavors to the cooked meat. If you don't have boar chops handy, substitute lamb, venison or pork chops. Use any vegetables in season to accompany the chops if you don't want to use shallot, celery and carrot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1-inch thick. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Brine the pork chops: Brining helps to tenderize the pork and add flavor. To make a simple brine, dissolve 1/4 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of brown sugar in 4 cups of cold water. Place the pork chops in the brine and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
  • Season the pork chops: Before cooking, season the pork chops with your favorite seasonings. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help to prevent the pork chops from drying out. Cook the pork chops for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will help the pork chops to retain their juices. Let the pork chops rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are grilling, baking, or pan-frying them, following these tips will help you to cook perfect pork chops every time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give pork chops a try!
