Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons five-spice powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
Freshly ground black pepper
4 3/4-inch center-cut pork chops, bone in
2 tablespoons peanut or olive oil
1/4 cup white wine or sherry
1/2 to 3/4 cup chicken broth
Strips of zest from 1/2 orange
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, peeled, crushed and chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, combine salt, five-spice powder, coriander and black pepper. Put the pork chops in a large bowl, and sprinkle with the spice mixture, lightly coating the chops by patting and shaking them.
  • Place a large sauté pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Place pork chops in pan, and brown well on both sides. Pour off fat, then return pan to heat. Add wine, broth, orange zest, ginger and garlic. Bring to a boil, then cover pan and place in oven. Braise until tender, about 1 hour. Allow the chops to cool in the cooking liquid.
  • To serve, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large sauté pan. Add chops, and cook until reheated and browned, about 2 minutes a side. If desired, serve with polenta or risotto.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Pork chops are considered safe to eat when the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  • To achieve a crispy crust on the pork chops, sear them in a hot skillet for a few minutes per side before transferring them to the oven to finish cooking.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of orange juice and brown sugar in the glaze to suit your taste preferences.
  • Make sure to use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor. Bottled orange juice will work in a pinch, but fresh is always better.
  • Garnish the pork chops with fresh orange slices or sprigs of parsley before serving for an extra touch of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Orange Spice Pork Chops is an easy and delicious way to prepare pork chops. The pork chops are seared in a skillet and then baked in the oven, which helps to create a crispy crust on the outside and a tender and juicy interior. The orange-spice glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the pork chops, making them a perfect dish for any occasion. Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
