PORK WITH SQUASH AND APPLES

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 53m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
2 1-pound pork tenderloins, trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cooking apples, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon honey mustard
1 sprig fresh rosemary
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mix the nutmeg, 1 teaspoon garlic and the sage in a bowl. Rub over the pork and season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the squash, apples, onion, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic, the honey mustard, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Spread out on a long sheet of foil. Add the rosemary and 3 tablespoons butter, then bring the ends of the foil together and crimp to seal into a packet. Place the packet on a baking sheet and roast on the upper rack until tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Poke holes in the packet to release steam.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, then brown the pork on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and scrape up any browned bits from the pan, then transfer the skillet to the lower oven rack and roast until a thermometer registers 150, about 15 minutes. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat. Add 1/2 cup water, scrape up any browned bits and simmer about 2 minutes. Slice the pork and drizzle with the pan juices. Serve with the squash and apples.

SLOW COOKER APPLE PORK CHOPS



Slow Cooker Apple Pork Chops image

A sweet and tangy, affordable and easy recipe. Simple and loaded with veggies. Does not have an overpowering flavor, kid approved. Browning pork chops is an important step, don't skip! I add meat tenderizer to any slow cooker meat, you do not need to add salt, the tenderizer and broth add plenty. Use fresh ground nutmeg! Great with boiled potatoes alongside.

Time 4h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon canola oil
6 bone-in pork chops
½ cup apple juice
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon meat tenderizer
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced
1 sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), sliced
¼ head cabbage, shredded

Steps:

  • Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and brown outsides of the pork chops thoroughly, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Mix together the apple juice, cider vinegar, chicken broth, brown sugar, meat tenderizer, garlic powder, nutmeg, ginger, and black pepper in a slow cooker, stirring until the brown sugar has dissolved. Place the pork chops into the liquid. Top the chops with apple, onion, and cabbage. Set the cooker on Low; cook 4 to 5 hours, turning the chops over in the sauce once or twice. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
