Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup grated onion
2 cups ketchup
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses or maple syrup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Four 1-inch-thick bone-in pork chops
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for brushing

Steps:

  • For the pumpkin bbq sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until tender and transluscent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the ketchup, pumpkin puree, broth, sugar, syrup, vinegar, chili powder, Worcestershire, garlic powder, smoked paprika, pumpkin pie spice, salt and pepper and whisk well to combine. Bring to a low simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let cook until thickened, 20 to 30 minutes. If it begins to look too thick, add a few tablespoons of water or broth.
  • For the pork chops: Preheat a grill or grill pan for cooking over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork chops generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Brush the chops on each side with vegetable oil and grill, 4 minutes per side. Baste the pork chops on each side with the sauce and grill an additional minute per side to allow the sauce to caramelize. Serve the chops with extra sauce.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
3 pounds winter squash (such as acorn, kabocha, delicata, or butternut), halved, seeded, cut into 1" wedges
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 1"-thick bone-in pork chops
1/2 small garlic clove, finely grated
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro plus leaves for garnish
2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread out pumpkin seeds on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toast, tossing once, until just beginning to darken, about 4 minutes. Let cool. Coarsely chop; set aside.
  • Toss squash with 1 tablespoon oil on a large rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast squash, turning occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 35-40 minutes.
  • When squash has been roasting for 30 minutes, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper and cook until brown, 5-8 minutes. Turn over and cook until pork is cooked through, about 3 minutes longer.
  • Whisk garlic, 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, reserved toasted pumpkin seeds, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a small bowl to combine. Season vinaigrette with salt, pepper, and more lime juice, if desired.
  • Divide squash and pork among plates; spoon vinaigrette over. Top with cilantro leaves.

Time 30m

1 Tbsp garlic infused oil (substitute canola oil)
1 Tbsp clarified butter
1/2 c red onions, finely chopped

1 1/2 c pumpkin purée
1/2 Tbsp sriracha sauce
1/2 Tbsp herbes de provence
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/4 c 35% heavy cream

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1-inch thick. This will help them stay moist and juicy during cooking.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to tenderize the pork chops and infuse them with flavor. Be sure to marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning. If you cook the pork chops over too high heat, they will be tough and dry.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops: The pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. If you cook them to a higher temperature, they will be dry and overcooked.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the pumpkin sauce is flavorful and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
