Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 celery rib, coarsely chopped
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 lb fresh shiitakes, stems discarded and caps coarsely chopped
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup pecans (4 oz), coarsely chopped and toasted
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
6 (1-inch-thick) rib pork chops
2/3 cup unfiltered apple cider
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons cold water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Lightly toast corn bread in a shallow baking pan in middle of oven until dry and pale golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Increase oven temperature to 375°F.
  • Sauté celery, onion, and bell pepper in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.

  • Roast chops on corn bread in middle of oven until pork is just cooked through, 18 to 22 minutes. After pork has roasted 10 minutes, pour off fat from skillet and heat skillet over moderately high heat until hot.

CORNBREAD-CRUSTED FRIED PORK CHOPS



Cornbread-Crusted Fried Pork Chops image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Four 5- to 6-ounce bone-in pork chops, preferably center cut
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons hot sauce
3 cups finely crumbled cornbread
1 quart vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and top with a cooling rack.
  • Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper. Combine the buttermilk and hot sauce in a large mixing bowl. Put the pork chops in the buttermilk mixture, being sure that all 4 are submerged. Set aside to rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, put the cornbread crumbs into a shallow dish.
  • Pour the vegetable oil into a large (10-inch) cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan. Clip a deep-frying thermometer to its side and heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
  • Lift a pork chop out of the buttermilk by its top bone using tongs, and allow any excess to drip off. Lightly dredge both sides of the pork chop in the cornbread crumbs. Carefully lower the coated chop into the hot oil. Repeat this process with a second chop. Cook the chops until crispy on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently turn the pork chops and fry until golden brown, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the crispy chops to the prepared cooling rack. Sprinkle the chops with additional salt and transfer to the oven to stay warm while the remaining chops are fried. Repeat this process with the remaining pork chops.
  • For the white gravy: Reserve 2 tablespoons of skillet oil for the gravy, then drain the remaining oil from the skillet, being sure to remove any bits of fried cornbread left behind. Add the butter to the skillet, pour in the reserved oil and heat over medium heat until the butter melts. Sprinkle in the flour, whisking, and cook until a smooth paste is formed, about 1 minute. Pour in the milk, whisking continuously. Cook, whisking occasionally, until a thick sauce is formed and the gravy coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the hot sauce and season the gravy with salt and pepper as desired.
  • Transfer the crispy pork chops to a serving platter. Spoon the white gravy over the chops and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.

  • Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil; add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Drain; return to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper; toss.
  • Remove the pork from the baking sheet and pour the juices on the baking sheet into the skillet. Sprinkle the flour over the juices; cook over medium heat, whisking, 1 minute.

Tips:

  • Make-Ahead Tip: You can make the cornbread dressing up to 3 days in advance. Just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use a variety of pecans. To add even more flavor to the dressing, use a combination of chopped pecans, pecan pieces, and pecan meal.
  • Don't overcook the pork chops. Pork chops are best when cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Make sure the cider gravy is hot. Cold gravy will not thicken properly. If your gravy is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of water or broth.
  • Serve immediately. Pork chops, cornbread dressing, and cider gravy are best served hot. So, make sure to serve them right away after they're cooked.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with pecan cornbread dressing and cider gravy is a delicious and hearty dish that's perfect for a special occasion. The pork chops are juicy and tender, the dressing is flavorful and moist, and the gravy is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
