Provided by The Chunky Chef

Categories     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 quart warm water
3 Tbsp kosher salt
2 sprigs fresh rosemary ((optional))
1 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
4 boneless pork chops ((thick cut, around 1 1/2 inches thick))
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/3 cup bourbon
3 Tbsp soy sauce (reduced sodium)
3 - 4 Tbsp light brown sugar (packed)
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
4 cloves garlic (minced or grated)
1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
pinch of cayenne pepper
1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp water

Steps:

  • Combine all brine ingredients in a large resealable plastic bag (I used a gallon size), or large airtight container. Whisk until combined well. Add pork chops to brine, seal bag or container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
  • When using a bag, I like to place the bag inside a baking dish, so in case the bag leaks, you won't have a giant mess in your refrigerator, it'll be contained in the dish.
  • Add all bourbon glaze ingredients to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over MED heat, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, reduce heat to LOW and simmer for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Mix slurry ingredients (cornstarch and water) in a small bowl, then add to bourbon glaze and cook another 1-2 minutes, until thickened.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Remove pork from brine, rinse with cold water, and pat very dry. Discard brine.
  • Season with 1/2 tsp EACH salt, pepper, smoked paprika and dried thyme.
  • Add vegetable oil to large oven-safe skillet and heat over MED-HIGH heat. Once pan is hot, add seasoned pork chops and cook, without flipping or moving, for 2-3 minutes.
  • Using tongs, flip pork chops over, and transfer skillet to the preheated oven.
  • Bake 5 minutes, then flip pork chops back over, return to the oven and bake another 4 minutes, until pork is cooked to 145 F degrees (internal temperature).
  • Remove pork chops to a plate, and cover loosely with foil. Leave to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Brush or spoon a bit of sauce over the top of each pork chops, then serve with remaining sauce on the side.

PORK CHOPS WITH SAVORY BLUEBERRY SAUCE



Pork Chops With Savory Blueberry Sauce image

From thekitchn.com. Served this with Recipe #380734, Recipe #12192 (and cauliflower), Recipe #419684 and crusty bread.

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 4 pork chops

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless pork chops
oil, suitable for high heat frying
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1/2 cup red wine (I tried a wine from C^otes du Rh^one)
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 lemon, zest and juice
2 tablespoons butter
fresh parsley, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Salt and pepper both sides of each pork chop. Heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in an oven-proof skillet big enough to hold all four pork chops.
  • Brown the pork chops, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the chops from the pan and transfer to an ovenproof platter; place in oven. Remove when the pork is just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  • While the pork chops are in the oven, prepare the sauce. Heat a tablespoon of oil on medium high heat in the same skillet you used to brown the chops.
  • Sauté the shallots until soft and golden. Add the wine and water and let boil down for 1-2 minutes, scraping up the brown bits.
  • Add the blueberries. When the skins begin to burst, add the lemon zest and juice. Let the sauce continue to boil and thicken until the pork chops are ready.
  • Once the pork chops are ready, remove the pan from the oven and place the pork chops on a cutting board and let them rest while finishing the sauce.
  • Turn the heat off under the saucepan and stir in the butter until it is completely melted. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt.
  • Serve the pork chops either whole or sliced, topped with the blueberry sauce and fresh parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork chops for the best flavor. Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
  • If you don't have bourbon, you can substitute another type of whiskey or brandy.
  • The blueberry glaze is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to reduce it until it's thick and syrupy.
  • Don't overcook the pork chops. They should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with bourbon blueberry glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The pork chops are juicy and tender, and the glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
