APRICOT HABANERO PORK CHOPS



Apricot Habanero Pork Chops image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 bone-in center-cut pork chops
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp grater
1 orange, zested and juiced
1/2 to 1 habanero pepper, seeded and diced
Vegetable oil, for the grill grates
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1 green apple, peeled, cored and finely diced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 scallion, thinly sliced on the bias
1 lime, zested and juiced

Steps:

  • For the pork chops: Season the pork chops with salt and pepper; set aside while making the glaze.
  • Add the apricot preserves, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, orange zest and juice and habanero to a small pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the sauce is reduced and thickened, 10 to 15 minutes; let cool. Divide the glaze between 2 bowls, reserving 1 bowl for basting and one for serving with the cooked chops.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Coat the grates with plenty of vegetable oil to help create a nonstick surface.
  • Using a brush, coat the chops with the first round of glaze. Place them on the grill glazed-side down and grill without moving until the glaze begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Brush the tops with glaze, flip the chops, brush the other side with more glaze and continue cooking until the chops are caramelized, charred and sticky and the internal temperature registers 135 degrees F, another 7 to 10 minutes. Discard the basting glaze. Let the chops rest for 5 to 10 minutes, coating them once with the reserved serving glaze while resting.
  • For the relish: Combine the mint, apple, bell pepper, scallion and lime zest and juice in a bowl and toss to coat.
  • Top the pork chops with some green apple relish and serve with the remaining serving glaze and relish.

These are absolutely divine!! So simple and so beautiful...this is definitely a trick up my mom-sleeve! They look like they require so much more effort than they really do. I love to serve them with roasted asparagus topped with a homemade lemon vinaigrette or some green beans.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 36

1 lb boneless pork chop
½ cup French's® Creamy Yellow Mustard, plus 1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon honey, warmed
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon McCormick® Paprika
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk
⅓ cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon McCormick® Onion Powder
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ shallot, minced
¼ cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons French's® Creamy Yellow Mustard
1 tablespoon honey
¼ cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons lemon juice
½ tablespoon McCormick® Dried Parsley flakes
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 ½ cups kale, chopped
¾ cup shredded radicchio
¼ cup dried cranberries
1 apple, cored and diced
⅓ cup grapeseed oil
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
½ lemon, juiced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Marinate the pork chops: Place the pork chops in a gallon-size ziplock bag. Add ½ cup French's Creamy Yellow Mustard, warmed honey, the apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and McCormick® Paprika. Massage through the bag until the pork chops are completely covered, then seal the bag and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Make the honey mustard sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pot with the white wine, then whisk in the chicken broth, French's® Creamy Yellow Mustard, honey, heavy cream, and lemon juice. Simmer until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the McCormick® Dried Parsley flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Make the crunchy green salad: In a large bowl, toss together the kale, radicchio, dried cranberries, and apple.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the grapeseed oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook the pork chops: In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1 egg, the milk, and the remaining tablespoon of French's® Creamy Yellow Mustard. In a separate shallow bowl, stir together the flour, McCormick® Garlic Powder, and McCormick® Onion Powder. Add the panko to a third shallow bowl.
  • Dip the pork chops into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then into the panko, pressing the bread crumbs into both sides of the meat to coat completely.
  • Heat the grapeseed oil in a medium high-walled skillet over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, cook the pork chops until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt.
  • Serve the crispy pork chops with the honey mustard sauce and crunchy green salad alongside.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose thick-cut pork chops for best results.
  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Pork chops are safe to eat when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have apricot preserves, you can substitute another type of fruit preserves, such as peach or cherry.
  • To make the dish even more flavorful, try using a variety of herbs and spices in the marinade, such as garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.

Conclusion:

Honey apricot pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are marinated in a sweet and tangy sauce made with honey, apricot preserves, and Dijon mustard, then grilled or baked until cooked through. The result is a tender and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give honey apricot pork chops a try.
