QUICK BAKED PORK CHOPS WITH SHERRY FLAVOUR



Quick Baked Pork Chops With Sherry Flavour image

Created for RSC #15. An easy and very-quick-to-prepare main dish, as you'll see when your read through the recipe. EDITED Jan 2011 to add: I made this last night, after reading Elmotoo's review again. Decided to bake slowly at about 300 degF/150 deg C, for about 2 1/2 hrs. It was wonderful! Just keep a lid on, as the sauce tends to slowly cook away. Check now and then. The chops were very tender and the sauce was fantastic. Don't sub ingredients: I think the flavour balance works very well.

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 2h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 pork chops, thick, rinds trimmed but not removed (or blade steaks)
oil (for frying)
1/4 cup dry sherry
3/4 cup chicken stock (made with powder or granules)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 tablespoons sour cream (fresh or creme fraiche will also do)
4 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ginger, fresh, finely chopped
2 tablespoons lemon zest, grated coarsely (usually zest of 1 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground
spring onion, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 or 275 deg F/ 150 deg Celsius (Changed to allow for long, slow baking as suggested by a reviewer below).
  • In a bowl, whisk together the sherry, chicken stock, sugar, sour cream, mustard and salt.
  • Heat a large skillet over fairly high heat, add a film of oil, heat the oil (to prevent the chops sticking to the skillet) and saute the chops, a couple minutes a side, until pale brown. If your skillet is too small you might have to do this in 2 batches.
  • While chops are frying, prepare the fresh ginger and grate the lemon zest. Add both of this this to the bowl of sauce, plus the black pepper, and stir.
  • Arrange the chops in one layer in an oven dish. Pour over the sauce, and bake about 2 - 2 1/2 hrs in the preheated oven. Note that the sauce will reduce during baking, although it will seem like a lot when it goes into the oven).
  • If you like, snip over green/spring onions before serving. Serve with rice, a fresh green veggie like green beans, and a salad.

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best results. If possible, try to buy your ingredients from a local farmer's market or grocery store.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking meat or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick.

  • Cook to the correct temperature: Make sure you cook your food to the correct temperature. This will help to ensure that it is safe to eat and that it has the best flavor and texture.
