Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 cups milk
Kosher salt
1 cup quick-cooking polenta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup mascarpone
2 fresh sage leaves, cut into chiffonade
2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 cups cauliflower florets
3 tablespoons olive oil
Crushed red pepper
Kosher salt
Seeds from 1 pomegranate, for garnish
3 pieces bacon, cut into lardons
1/2 Spanish onion, cut into small dice
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup Calvados
1 sprig rosemary, leaves finely chopped
1/2 cup golden raisins
Kosher salt
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 bone-in pork loin chops, 3/4-inch thick
Olive oil, for pan
1/2 cup sherry vinegar
1/2 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • For the polenta: Bring the milk and 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Season generously with salt. Slowly whisk in the polenta; when all of the polenta has been incorporated, reduce the heat to medium and immediately switch to stirring with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring frequently, until the polenta begins to pull away from the pan; add water if it becomes too thick.
  • When the polenta is thoroughly cooked, it will look creamy and not feel gritty on your tongue. Remove the polenta from the heat and stir in the Parmesan, mascarpone and sage. Cover and keep warm.
  • For the roasted vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  • Combine the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower florets in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and some crushed red pepper salt; stir to coat. Pour the vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet and spread in a single layer. Roast until tender and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with pomegranate seeds.
  • For the stuffed pork chops: Adjust the oven to 375 degrees F. Add the bacon to a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until almost crispy. Add the onions and sweat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the apples and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully add the calvados (it may flame) and cook until almost dry. Add the rosemary, raisins and salt to taste. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, along with the breadcrumbs and the beaten egg; stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle the pork chops with salt. Insert a paring knife into the curved side of each chop to make a deep pocket, about 2 inches wide. Stuff the pockets with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and coat the pan with olive oil. Sear the pork chops until golden brown on all sides. Remove the chops to a baking sheet and place in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add sherry vinegar and maple syrup to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until reduced by half. (Keep an eye on the saucepan, as the mixture can burn quickly.)
  • After 15 minutes in the oven, baste the chops all over with the maple-vinegar reduction. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.

Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Yield 8 pork chops

Number Of Ingredients 13

16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 tablespoon garlic powder
¼ cup fresh chives, chopped
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
8 boneless pork chops

  • Season all sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
  • Carefully cut a pocket through the side of the pork chop in order to create a cavity. Stuff the cavity with a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and press around the edges of the pork to seal it in. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.
  • Dip the stuffed pork chops in the flour, shaking off excess, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.

SAUTEED PORK CHOPS WITH MUSTARD AND TARRAGON SAUCE FOR TWO



Sauteed Pork Chops With Mustard and Tarragon Sauce for Two image

Succulent pork chops are always welcomed at diner time. If you have time and can plan ahead, we recommend brining the pork, as this will further enhance the flavor and texture.

Provided by Cucina Casalingo

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pork rib chops, bone in, 8 ounces each (1 inch thick, brined if desired)

6 teaspoons vegetable oil

1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • Transfer the chops to a clean plate, tent with foil, and let rest until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 to 150 degrees before serving, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Do not clean the skillet.
  • While the chops are resting, add the rest of the vegetable oil to the hot skillet, and return to medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the broth and wine, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the mustard and any accumulated pork juice.
  • Turn the heat to low and whisk in the butter, one piece at a time.
  • Off the heat, stir in the tarragon and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon the sauce over the pork before serving.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 lean, fat-free center-cut pork chops 1 inch thick, bones trimmed French style (see note), about 1 1/2 pounds
2 tablespoons flour
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons oil (corn, peanut or vegetable)
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Put the chops on a flat surface and pound them lightly with a flat mallet.
  • Blend the flour, salt and pepper, and coat the chops on both sides with the seasoned flour, patting to help it adhere. Shake off excess.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet. When it is quite hot add the chops and cook until nicely browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn the chops and cook until browned on the second side, about 5 minutes. Cook, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer the chops to a warm platter.
  • Pour off the fat from the skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
  • Add the wine and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add the broth and tomato paste and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes. There should be about 3/4 cup of sauce. Add the tarragon and swirl in the butter. Put the chops in the sauce and stir them around until coated on all sides with the sauce. Serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, insert a knife into the thickest part of the pork chop. If the juices run clear, the chop is cooked.
  • Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meat more tender.
  • For a crispier crust, sear the pork chops in a hot skillet for a few minutes per side before baking them.
  • Provolone cheese melts well and has a slightly salty flavor that complements the pork chops nicely. However, you can use any type of cheese that you like.
  • Tarragon vinaigrette is a light and flavorful dressing that adds a touch of acidity and freshness to the dish. However, you can use any type of dressing that you like.

Conclusion:

Provolone Stuffed Pork Chops with Tarragon Vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are juicy and tender, the cheese is melted and gooey, and the tarragon vinaigrette adds a touch of acidity and freshness. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
