SAUCY SALSA BAKED PORK CHOPS - WITH A TWIST !



Saucy Salsa Baked Pork Chops - With a Twist ! image

Tender, juicy and a bit sweet and spicy ! I looked for a recipe here that would incorporate what I had on hand for my pork chops but couldn't find one. So I came up with this! I made this in about 50 minutes (including prep time) so it was as fast as it was tasty ! The marmalade is a bit different but it really did add a nice sweetness to offset the spicy salsa. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did !

JERK PORK CHOPS WITH MANGO SALSA



Jerk Pork Chops With Mango Salsa image

Many years ago, I saw a couple of old Food Network shows where jerk chicken was made and accompanied by various fruits. I took notes and created this meal after several attempts to get it to fit my taste. It is funny to look back to my original recipe, as I actually used Vegetable Oil because I was too cheap to buy Olive Oil. I think we can all conclude that the Olive Oil tastes much better :)

Provided by Melanie B.

Categories     Pork

Time P1DT15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

4 boneless pork chops, thick cut
1/2 cup olive oil
1 small red onion, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
3 garlic cloves

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, fresh ground
1/4 teaspoon clove, fresh ground
1/2 teaspoon allspice, ground
1 lime, juiced

1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 mangoes, peeled, cored, and diced
1/4 cup red onion, minced
2 tablespoons cilantro, fresh chopped
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon orange juice
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Wash and Pat dry the Pork chops. Place in a glass or plastic shallow dish (for marinating).
  • Mix together all of remaining jerk ingredients in a blender or food processor until a smooth puree is accomplished. Pour the jerk sauce over the pork chops and marinate for up to 24 hours. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the mixture for basting.
  • Grill Pork Chops until cooked to the desired doneness. Baste with the reserved jerk sauce while grilling.
  • In the meantime, mix together the Mango salsa ingredients. You can also add some Pineapple to the mixture.

SKILLET PORK CHOPS WITH SALSA VERDE



Skillet Pork Chops with Salsa Verde image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Four 12- to 14-ounce bone-in pork loin chops, about 1 inch thick
Extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking
2 cups loosely packed fresh Italian parsley leaves
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1 tablespoon lemon juice plus 1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne, or to taste
3 scallions, coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed and peeled
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • For the pork chops: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Combine the paprika, salt, sugar and pepper in a small bowl. Rub all over the surface of the chops and let the chops rest on a rack while you make the salsa verde.
  • For the salsa verde: Combine the parsley, capers, lemon juice, zest, mustard, salt, cayenne, scallions and garlic in a blender. Pulse to make a coarse paste. With the blender running on high, add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream to make a thick, smooth sauce. With the blender running on low, add up to 2 tablespoons water to thin the sauce so it has a drizzle consistency.
  • For the pork chops: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then coat with some olive oil. Add the chops to the skillet and sear until the underside is well browned, about 4 minutes. If the sides of the chops have a thick layer of fat, turn them briefly on their sides to sear the fat, about 30 seconds. Flip the chops raw-side down and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until the chops are just cooked through and reach 140 to 145 degrees F in the center as measured on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve drizzled with the salsa verde.
