DEEP-FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET AND SPICY RED PEPPER JELLY



Deep-Fried Pork Chops with Sweet and Spicy Red Pepper Jelly image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup diced bell pepper (red or yellow), frozen
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup pepper vinegar
1/2 cup pineapple juice
6 red bell peppers, roasted, peeled and chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped with seeds
2 tablespoons pectin
4 thick-cut rib pork chops
1 tablespoon blackening seasoning
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups buttermilk
Canola oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the pepper jelly: Combine the sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice, roasted bell peppers and jalapeno. Blend using a food processor or immersion blender. Place the puree in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Add the pectin and continue to boil for 60 seconds, at which point add the frozen peppers to stop the cooking process. Pour the jelly into a metal container and chill in an ice bath for about 1 hour until it sets, or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • For the pork chops: Using the toothy side of a meat tenderizer, pound the pork chops to about 1/2-inch thickness. Add the blackening seasoning, salt and pepper to the flour and mix thoroughly. Dredge the chops in the seasoned flour, dip in the buttermilk and then back into the flour (using one hand to work in the flour, and the other for dipping in the buttermilk). Allow to rest for at least a minute or so to allow the breader to set up.
  • Pour the oil into a deep, heavy pot (cast iron is best), enough so that the pork chop has room to float, but there needs to be a few inches of clearance so that it doesn't overflow when you are frying. Heat the oil to 355 degrees F. Use a deep-fry thermometer to get the temperature right; too high and your food will burn on the outside before it is cooked on the inside, and too low your food will come out greasy and soggy.
  • Gently the drop pork chops, 1 or 2 at a time, into the oil; don't crowd the pot. Fry until golden brown on the outside, about 7 minutes. Serve with the pepper jelly.

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (1 lb) pork tenderloin, total weight of about 2-3 lbs
1 tablespoon garlic salt (approximate measure, to taste)
fresh ground pepper (to taste)
6 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3 shallots, sliced
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced red peppers (I often use roasted jarred peppers in a pinch, not pickled, and lightly saute them)
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup brandy
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary (approximately 2 inches long)
1 1/2 cups hot pepper jelly
1 1/4 cups gorgonzola (crumbled)

Steps:

  • Sprinkle heavily with garlic salt and let the salted pork sit at room temperature for 40 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F
  • Sauce: In a heavy skillet add 3 TBL olive oil and heat until hot then add garlic, shallots and red pepper and sauté until peppers, garlic, and shallots are soft (about 10-12 minutes).
  • Add 1/2 cup of brandy (be careful not to flame).
  • Add the stock, rosemary, and thyme and reduce the liquid by approximately 1/3.
  • Take off heat and remove rosemary and thyme. Add jam and heat until jam liquefies.
  • Pork: In a large skillet, heat 3 TBL oil to very hot but not smoking. Add the pork and sear for about 2 minutes per side, turning the pork only once so it gets a good sear.
  • Remove the pork and place on a roasting pan in the preheated 425 F oven, for approximately 10-15 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 155 ° F (meat will still be a tiny bit pink, that's ok), do not overcook. When it comes out of the oven cover meat with foil and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Slice on the diagonal into 1 inch slices and save the juices. Place sautéed peppers on serving platter then place sliced tenderloin on top of peppers.
  • Pour about ½ cup brandy/jam mixture over the pork and sprinkle with 3/4 cup Gorgonzola. Serve with remaining brandy/jam sauce and the Gorgonzola in separate serving/gravy dish.

PORK CHOPS WITH PEACH PEPPER JELLY SAUCE



Pork Chops with Peach Pepper Jelly Sauce image

Spicy twist to pork chops and so easy to make.

Provided by Elaine Laskowski

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pork chops
3 Tbsp butter
2 tsp olive oil
2 peaches, canned or fresh, chopped
1/4 c pepper jelly (recipe follows)
salt and pepper to taste
HOT PEPPER JELLY
1/4 c orange or peach marmalade or jam
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped fine

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pork chops until done in the butter and olive oil. Remove chops from pan and keep warm.
  • 2. Make the hot pepper jelly by heating the marmalade or jam in a pan with the chopped jalapeno and simmer, watching carefully until the jalapeno softens. If you have Chinese chili garlic sauce (very spicy) use that, about 1 tablespoonful. That is what I used and it was great, but we like really spicy food. Add the chopped peaches.
  • 3. Saute the peaches and pepper jelly until reduced and thickened. Spoon over pork chops and serve.

PEPPER JELLY:
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup pepper vinegar
1/2 cup pineapple juice
6 red bell peppers, roasted, peeled and chopped
1 jalapeño, chopped with seeds
2 tablespoons pectin

4 thick-cut rib pork chops
1 tablespoon blackening seasoning
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups buttermilk
canola oil, for frying

Steps:

  • PEPPER JELLY: Combine the sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice, roasted bell peppers and jalapeño. Blend using a food processor or immersion blender. Place the puree in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Add the pectin and continue to boil for 60 seconds, at which point add the frozen peppers to stop the cooking process.

PORK CHOPS: Using the toothy side of a meat tenderizer, pound the pork chops to about 1/2-inch thickness. Add the blackening seasoning, salt, and pepper to the flour and mix thoroughly. Dredge the chops in the seasoned flour, dip in the buttermilk and then back into the flour (using one hand to work in the flour, and the other for dipping in the buttermilk).

Pour the oil into a deep, heavy pot (cast iron is best), enough so that the pork chop has room to float, but there needs to be a few inches of clearance so that it doesn't overflow when you are frying. Heat the oil to 355°F.

Gently the drop pork chops 1 or 2 at a time, but don't crowd the pot. Fry until golden brown on the outside, about 7 minutes. Serve with the pepper jelly.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork tenderloin or pork loin are ideal cuts for this recipe as they are lean and cook quickly.
  • Slice the pork thinly: This will help the pork to cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a flavorful pepper jelly: The pepper jelly is the key ingredient in this recipe, so choose one that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Cook the pork over medium heat: This will help to prevent the pork from becoming tough.
  • Serve the pork immediately: Pork is best served hot off the grill or out of the pan.

Conclusion:

This pepper jelly pork recipe is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and flavorful meal. The pork is tender and juicy, and the pepper jelly glaze is tangy and sweet.
