DELICIOUS TANGY PORK CHOPS



Delicious Tangy Pork Chops image

This is a variation of the 'Tangy Chicken' recipe here on Allrecipes.com. It's fast and easy. It makes the chops very juicy and tender. You may be put off by the lemon, but you really don't taste it that strong, it's overpowered by the Worcestershire Sauce. It seems the acid in the lemon helps make the more meat tender and helps the flavor soak in. The garlic is just a hint also, not too strong at all! Garlic powder could also be used.

PORK WITH TANGY MUSTARD SAUCE



Pork with Tangy Mustard Sauce image

In summer, we like to have our homegrown sweet corn and cheesy potatoes hot off the grill, a cold salad and green vegetables alongside it.

CITRUS-GLAZED PORK CHOPS WITH GINGERY BOK CHOY



Citrus-Glazed Pork Chops With Gingery Bok Choy image

Rich pork makes a perfect companion to tart oranges in this tasty weeknight meal. The bold, bright, citrusy sauce demands a robust cut of meat, so pick well-marbled, thick-cut pork chops with a nice fat cap. A dry rub of brown sugar creates a caramelized layer that lends depth to the pan sauce, and the gingery bok choy adds a delightful bit of freshness. This is quite a meal on its own, but you can steam some brown or white rice for a starchy side. Slice the pork to serve, and drizzle the pan sauce over everything.

Categories     dinner, weekday, meat, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound large or baby bok choy
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like canola or grapeseed, plus more as needed
3 (1 1/2-inch-thick) bone-in pork loin chops (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 whole orange, cut in half crosswise, seeds removed, plus 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
4 shallots, peeled and quartered
4 garlic cloves, smashed

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the ginger and rice vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Trim the bok choy and cut into 3- to 4-inch pieces, if large, or cut down the middle lengthwise, if using baby bok choy. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the bok choy to the pan, cut-side down, if using baby bok choy, and sear on one side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add additional oil, if necessary. Flip to cook on the other side until just tender, about 1 minute. Transfer bok choy to the ginger marinade and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Rub both sides of the pork chops with the brown sugar and season generously with salt. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium heat. Arrange chops and orange halves in the skillet, cut-side down. Sear one side of the pork (without moving it) until deep brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the pork but leave the orange undisturbed. Cook on medium-low until the pork is browned on both sides and the orange halves are charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Move the orange to a serving platter and the pork to a plate.
  • Add the shallots and garlic to skillet and cook until softened and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add all the pork chops and any accumulated juices back to the pan, overlapping if necessary. Add the orange juice and 1/4 cup water. Bring the liquid to a simmer, swirling the pan to release any bits stuck to the bottom. Cover and cook for 3 minutes, then uncover and cook until the pork is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the cooked chops to a board and allow the sauce to continue cooking until reduced and sticky, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Transfer the bok choy to the serving platter. Slice the pork and transfer to the platter along with any accumulated juices from the meat. Spoon the pan sauce and squeeze the caramelized orange halves over the top.

PORK CHOPS WITH SPICY CITRUS MARINADE



Pork Chops with Spicy Citrus Marinade image

Categories     Citrus     Herb     Pork     Quick & Easy     Low Cal     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
a pinch cayenne, or to taste
two 1-inch-thick rib or loin pork chops (about 1/2 pound each)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves

Steps:

  • In a shallow baking dish whisk together orange juice, black pepper, chili powder, paprika, cayenne, and salt to taste. Add pork to marinade, turning to coat, and marinate at room temperature 20 minutes.
  • In a non-stick skillet cook pork in marinade, covered, over moderately high heat 6 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through. Sprinkle pork with coriander.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh citrus fruits. Lemons, limes, and oranges all work well.
  • If you don't have fresh citrus fruits, you can use bottled citrus juice. However, fresh citrus fruits will give your sauce a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
  • Be sure to zest the citrus fruits before you juice them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the sauce.
  • Don't overcook the pork. Pork is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the pork with your favorite sides. Rice, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables all work well.

Conclusion:

This pork with tangy citrus sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The citrus sauce is bright and flavorful, and the pork is tender and juicy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
