Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds Golden Delicious apples, peeled and chopped
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
4 bone-in pork chops (1/2-inch thick; about 6 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
Chopped fresh parsley, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the applesauce: Combine the apples, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very tender but still juicy, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Mash the apples with a fork, or puree with an immersion blender or in a food processor for a smoother sauce. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the pork chops: Mix the paprika, garlic powder and sage in a small bowl. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and rub all over with the paprika mixture. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the pork chops, reduce the heat to medium and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side and cooked through, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove to a plate and pour off the drippings from the skillet.
  • Add the chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add any juices from the plate of pork to the skillet and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the butter until smooth. Transfer the pork chops to a platter and top with the pan sauce; sprinkle with parsley. Serve with the applesauce.

Pork Chops with Applesauce and Grits image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

8 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 cups stone-ground grits (the coarser the better!)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups heavy cream
Dash of cayenne, or to taste
1 1/2 cups grated Monterey Jack or other cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
Six 1/2-inch-thick boneless pork chops
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups Applesauce, recipe follows
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
6 pounds mixed apple varieties (Gala, Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious), peeled, cored and cut into eighths
1 cup apple juice or water
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • For the grits: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the bacon and onions until the bacon is chewy and the onions are translucent, about 1 minute. Pour in the grits and add the chicken broth. Stir together and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 40 minutes. Add the cream and cayenne, stirring them into the grits. Cover the pot and keep cooking over very low heat, stirring occasionally to keep them from sticking, until the grits are tender but still have a bite to them, another 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Just before serving, stir in the cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • For the pork chops: Melt the butter with the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. (They'll finish cooking in the skillet later.) Remove the pork chops to a plate.
  • Put the skillet back on the heat, add the Applesauce and pour in the wine and vinegar. Cook until the liquid reduces by half, about 5 minutes. Pour in the maple syrup, stir it in and allow it to come to a bubble. Add the pork chops to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for another 20 minutes.
  • To serve, spoon a generous helping of grits onto a plate. Lay a pork chop on top of the grits, and then spoon the apples over the top. Be sure to get a little extra pan sauce onto the plate.
  • Throw the apples, apple juice and lemon juice into a pan and bring it to the boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat and simmer until the apples are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir through the sugar and mix until melted. Add the cinnamon and stir through.
  • Puree the mixture in a food processor, blender or food mill. If not using right away, leave to cool and then refrigerate.
