PORK CHOPS WITH GOAT CHEESE AND CARAMELIZED ONION
UPDATED: I tried to revise the instructions per my lovely reviewers! Hopefully it is easier to follow now. Oh, and if you don't like goat cheese you should probably look elsewhere! :) The trick to this is to get the onions brown and a little crispy during the caramelization process. I usually add two skewers of cherry tomatoes to the oven when the pork has about five minutes left to go in the oven. They make a nice complement. I serve this with a dry white wine, roasted potatoes with rosemary and a spinach salad. Originally made for RSC 10.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Melt 1 tbsp butter in 1 tsp olive oil in medium sized, oven proof sauce pan over medium/medium high heat.
- Add red onion. Let cook, stirring constantly for 20 minutes.
- While onions cook, mix 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp minced garlic, the 2 tbsp chicken broth and 1 tbsp olive oil in a small bowl.
- Add 2 tbsp of chicken broth to onions at a time, letting sizzle and cook away. Repeat until no broth remains.
- Butterfly pork chops and sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper.
- Spread goat cheese evenly inside each pork chop, leaving room around edges.
- Once onions are brown and caramelized, add a spoonful of onions to top of goat cheese in each pork chop. There will be onions remaining in the pan. Add lemon mixture to pan with onions and simmer, scraping down the sides of the pan.
- Close pork chops and dust with flour. If you are having trouble keeping them together, use toothpicks or mini skewers. However it is better if you can work without, as the escaped goat cheese comes in handy in the sauce later!
- Melt 1 tbsp butter in skillet over medium heat and cook pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side, until seared and brown.
- Put pork chops and any drippings into the pan with the simmering onion/lemon mixture and place in oven.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness, or until cooked through but still tender.
- Remove pan from oven and place back on medium low heat. Remove pork chops and whisk in heavy cream and let come to a bubble. Add parsley. Spoon over pork chops and enjoy!
HICKORY-SMOKED PORK CHOPS WITH BLEU CHEESE MASHED POTATOES AND CARAMELIZED PEARS AND ONION STRAWS
Steps:
- In a medium sized bowl, combine milk, rosemary, garlic and salt and pepper. Place each pork chop in the bowl and allow the meat to marinate for approximately 1/2 hour.
- Over an open-flame grill, sear each side of the pork chops until black grill marks form.
- Remove the meat from the grill. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and place hickory smoking chips in the bottom of the pan. Cover the chips with a lid, which is slightly smaller than the pan, and then place each pork chop on top of the lid. This will allow the meat to smoke and become infused with the hickory flavor. Smoke the meat until it is fork tender. Serve with potatoes, pears and onion straws. Garnish with red pepper and mushroom strips.
- In a large pot, add the potatoes. Cover with water and bring to a rolling boil. Boil the potatoes until they are soft. Drain the water from the pot and place the potatoes in a medium sized bowl. Add all of the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mash together until you reach the desired creaminess. Set aside.
- In a medium sized saute pan, combine all of the ingredients over medium heat and saute until the pears soften and the sauce thickens. Set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine milk, oil, salt and pepper. Slice an onion into long strips and place them into the milk mixture. Shake off any excess liquid, and then dredge the onion strips in flour. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a medium sized saute pan. Place the dredged onions into the saute pan and cook until they are brown and slightly crispy. Set aside.
- Thoroughly clean the skin of the red bell pepper. Rub olive oil lightly over the entire surface of the skin. Place the whole pepper on an open flame and roast it until the skin is blackened. Remove the pepper from the flame and rub the charred skin with a towel. Once the skin is removed, slice the pepper into thin strips and serve with the pork chops.
- Thoroughly clean the skin of the baby mushroom. Rub the entire surface generously with garlic, olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Place the whole mushroom into a steamer and allow it to steam for approximately 20 minutes, or until tender. Remove the mushroom from the steamer and slice into strips. Serve with the pork chops.

I sure love a yummy pork chop, especially when it is super elegant and perfect for guests. This dish is grilled, and should not be baked! Please note that the pecans add an elegant touch to this dish. It's a wonderful entrée to serve during holiday entertaining. Adapted from The Horseradish Grill

Steps:
- Make a brine by combining the Kosher salt and water in a large bowl. Place the pork chops in the mixture and "brine" for 2 hours.
- Remove the chops from the liquid, and pat dry. Cut each pork chop horizontally in half to bone making a pocket for stuffing.
- Heat the butter in a heavy skillet set over medium heat. Add the onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low., and cook the onions, stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes or until they begin to caramelize.
- As the onions begin to caramelize you will need to add a tablespoon or two of water to deglaze the pan. You may need to do this several times during the caramelization process. The onions should turn golden brown after minutes of this. Remove from the heat and transfer to a medium bowl.
- Add the pecans and goat cheese to the onions and stir to combine. Refrigerate until mixture is completely cool, about 15 minutes.
- Insert stuffing into pockets in pork, dividing equally. Skewer pockets closed with toothpicks if necessary. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper.
- Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill pork until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper. Dredge in 1 cup flour; shake off excess. Working in batches, add pork to skillet and sauté until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Arrange pork in single layer in 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon paprika over pork.
- Discard contents of skillet; wipe clean. Add 3 tablespoons oil; heat over medium-high heat. Add onions; sprinkle with sugar and sauté until well browned, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon paprika. Place onions over pork. Pour enough broth over so that chops are almost covered. Cover with foil. Bake until pork is tender, about 45 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Uncover; cool slightly. Cover; chill. Rewarm covered pork in 350°F. oven, about 20 minutes.)
- Reduce oven temperature to 200°F. Using tongs, transfer pork to large bowl, leaving onion mixture in baking dish. Pour contents of baking dish into strainer set over medium bowl. Return onion mixture to same baking dish, spreading evenly (reserve cooking liquid). Arrange pork atop onions; sprinkle cheese. Cover dish with foil; set in oven to keep warm.
- Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add 5 tablespoons flour. Cook, until mixture just begins to color, whisking often (mixture will be dry and crumbly), about 4 minutes. Gradually whisk in reserved cooking liquid. Bring sauce to boil, whisking constantly. Boil until thickened, whisking often, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer pork and onions to plates. Spoon sauce around pork and serve.
Tips:
1. Selecting the Right Pork Chops: - Choose bone-in pork chops with at least 1/2 inch of fat for added flavor and juiciness. - Look for chops that are evenly thick throughout to ensure even cooking. - Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper before cooking for enhanced flavor. 2. Achieving Perfect Caramelized Onions: -Slice the onions thinly and evenly to promote even caramelization. - Use a combination of butter and olive oil for sautéing, as butter adds richness and olive oil prevents burning. - Cook the onions slowly over low heat for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, for a deep golden brown color and sweet flavor. 3. Balancing Flavors with Goat Cheese: - Use a creamy goat cheese that easily melts and blends with other ingredients. - Spread the goat cheese over the cooked pork chops, allowing it to melt slightly before serving. - The tanginess of the goat cheese complements the sweetness of the caramelized onions and the richness of the pork.Conclusion:
This recipe combines the succulent flavors of pork chops, caramelized onions, and goat cheese to create a delectable and satisfying dish. With its ease of preparation and versatility in pairing with various side dishes, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknight dinners or special occasions.
