PORK CHOPS WITH TOASTED SPICE RUB AND APPLE DRESSING

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (12-ounce) center-cut pork chops
Gray salt
2 tablespoons Toasted Spice Rub, recipe follows
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup Honey Roasted Apple Sauce, recipe follows

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and toasted spice rub.
  • Heat the oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat and sear the pork chops until golden brown, about 4 minutes on 1side and 1 minute on the other side. Place pork chops on baking sheet. Remove excess oil from skillet.
  • Bake the chops until just cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a serving platter.
  • Over medium heat, add the wine to the skillet, stir, and reduce to 1 to 2 tablespoons; add the apple sauce and bring to a simmer. Spoon over each chop.
  • Toasted Spice Rub
  • 1/4 cup fennel seeds
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1 tablespoon peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup pure California chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • Toast the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a small, heavy pan over medium heat. When the fennel begins to turn light brown, add the red pepper flakes, and toss several times. Immediately turn the spice mixture out onto a plate to cool.
  • Put in a blender with the chili powder, salt, and cinnamon and blend until the spices are evenly ground. If you have a small spice mill or a coffee grinder dedicated to grinding spices, grind only the fennel, coriander, pepper, and chili flakes. Pour into a bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients.
  • Keep the spice mix in a glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
  • Note: If you have an exhaust fan over your stove, turn it on before you start toasting the spices. Be careful not to inhale the fumes once you add the red pepper flakes.
  • Yield: 1 cup
  • 12 apples, Gravenstein or McIntosh
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely ground sea salt, preferably gray salt
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Peel the apples with a vegetable peeler, remove the core and cut into 1-inch chunks, place in a large bowl. Heat a large skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter. When the butter begins to brown, add lemon juice, then add the apples and salt. Cook until the apples just begin to color, about 4 minutes. Stir in the honey. Roast the apples in the oven until soft and lightly caramelized, about 12 minutes. Fork mash for a chunky version or puree in food processor for a smoother sauce.
  • Serve warm, room temperature or cold.

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.

PORK CHOPS WITH SPICED SWEET POTATOES AND APPLES



Pork Chops with Spiced Sweet Potatoes and Apples image

Categories     Fruit     Pork     Potato     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Father's Day     Apple     Sweet Potato/Yam     Spring     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 2; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 3/4-inch-thick boneless pork chops
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 8-ounce red-skinned sweet potato (yam), peeled, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 large unpeeled apple, halved, cored, thickly sliced
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup canned low-salt chicken broth

Steps:

  • Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; sauté until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork to plate. Add potato and onion to skillet. Reduce heat to medium; sauté until onion is golden, about 7 minutes. Mix in apple and cinnamon; season with salt and pepper. Nestle pork among vegetables. Pour in broth; bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until pork and vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. If you don't have bone-in chops, you can use boneless chops, but they will cook more quickly so be careful not to overcook them.
  • To make sure the pork chops are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • For the most flavorful squash, choose a variety that is in season. Butternut squash, acorn squash, and spaghetti squash are all good choices.
  • If you don't have time to peel and cube the squash, you can buy pre-cut squash at most grocery stores.
  • To save time, you can make the applesauce ahead of time. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • If you don't have applesauce, you can use another type of fruit sauce, such as cranberry sauce or pear sauce.

Conclusion:

This recipe for spiced pork chops with squash and apples is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, the squash is tender and sweet, and the applesauce adds a touch of sweetness and tartness. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
