Pepper Pork Chops image

Alton Brown brines his pepper pork chops for a best-of-both-worlds result: juicy meat with plenty of flavor. He adds a pound of ice to quick-cool the brine so the pork doesn't have to wait around any longer than necessary.

Provided by Alton Brown

Time 14h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons black peppercorns, slightly crushed
1 pound ice (about 4 cups)
Four 1 to 1 1/2-inch-thick bone-in pork chops
3 ounces dried apple slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, julienned
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Combine the vegetable broth, 1/2 cup kosher salt, brown sugar and peppercorns in a medium saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Cook just until the salt and sugar dissolve, and then remove from the heat and add the ice. Place the pork chops into a 2-gallon zip-top bag along with the brine and seal. Place in a plastic container and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove the chops from the brine, rinse and pat dry. Sprinkle on both sides with the remaining 2 teaspoons kosher salt and set aside.
  • Place the apples in a 5 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 12-inch stainless steel saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute the pork chops on both sides until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Once browned, place the pork chops into the slow cooker atop the apples. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to the pan, followed by the onions, and saute until they begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth to the pan to deglaze. Add the black pepper and thyme and stir to combine. Transfer this to the slow cooker, set to high, cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Decrease the heat to low and continue cooking until the pork is tender and falling away from the bone, another 4 hours and 30 minutes.

Grilled Prosciutto-Wrapped Pork Chops with Peaches image

This recipe celebrates summer by pairing juicy peaches with tender pork chops, savory prosciutto and the bright punch of tangy pepperoncini. The pork and peaches are prepared on the grill for an extra layer of flavor. This method also works great with chicken. If you don't have access to a gas grill, you can use a grill pan or cast-iron pan.

Provided by Elena Besser

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the grill grates
Four 1-inch-thick boneless pork chops
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Zest and juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon honey
3 medium, firm-ripe peaches
4 large, thin slices prosciutto di Parma
1/2 cup thinly sliced pickled pepperoncini, plus 1 teaspoon brine

Steps:

  • Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Prepare a gas grill or grill pan for medium-high heat and oil the grill grates.
  • Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Combine 1/4 cup oil, the zest and juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon thyme and 1 tablespoon honey in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the pork chops, press out any air, seal and massage to make sure the chops are well coated. Set aside.
  • Pit and slice each peach into eight wedges. Combine the peaches and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, toss to coat and set aside.
  • Remove the pork from the marinade. Carefully wrap 1 slice of prosciutto around each pork chop. Spoon some of the marinade over the prosciutto, handling it delicately to keep the prosciutto intact. Place the pork on the grill, seam-side up, and lower the heat to medium. Cook, flipping the chops once, until the prosciutto is crisp and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. Make sure to turn the pork so all sides crisp evenly.
  • Transfer the chops to a clean, rimmed baking sheet to rest. It is important for the pork to rest at least 5 minutes and up to 10 minutes to make sure the juices evenly redistribute and the pork finishes cooking.
  • While the pork rests, add the peaches to the grill, reserving the liquid in the bowl, and cook, flipping once, until grill marks form and the peaches have softened slightly, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, combine the remaining zest and juice of 1 lime, remaining 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon pepperoncini pickling liquid to the bowl containing the peach juice. Whisk with a fork.
  • Add the sliced pepperoncini and toss to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Add the grilled peaches and toss to coat.
  • Put the pork chops on a serving tray and top with the grilled peach mixture. Drizzle the sauce over the pork and peaches and garnish with the remaining thyme. Serve immediately.
