Best 7 Sweet And Spicy Pork Chops Recipes

SWEET AND SPICY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. In a small bowl, mix the first five ingredients., Place chops on a broiler pan; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil 4 in. from heat 5 minutes. Turn; top with brown sugar mixture. Broil 4-5 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

SWEET AND SPICY CHILI PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork, cooking 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove pan from heat and let pork stand for 30 seconds.
• While pork cooks, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, chile paste, hoisin and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
• Pour sauce over the pork, scraping the pan to loosen the fond. Turn the pork over to coat. (The recipe does not call for this, but I often will return over low heat just to make sure the sauce is heated through, if there is not enough residual heat in the skillet).
• Serve garnished with the green onion slices.
• I had a couple of thick boneless chops sitting around, so I cut them into thin, flat slices and cooked as above; then doubled the sauce ingredients, tossed it all together and served with saffron rice. A nice variation.

DEEP-FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET AND SPICY RED PEPPER JELLY

Steps:

• For the pepper jelly: Combine the sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice, roasted bell peppers and jalapeno. Blend using a food processor or immersion blender. Place the puree in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Add the pectin and continue to boil for 60 seconds, at which point add the frozen peppers to stop the cooking process. Pour the jelly into a metal container and chill in an ice bath for about 1 hour until it sets, or overnight in the refrigerator.
• For the pork chops: Using the toothy side of a meat tenderizer, pound the pork chops to about 1/2-inch thickness. Add the blackening seasoning, salt and pepper to the flour and mix thoroughly. Dredge the chops in the seasoned flour, dip in the buttermilk and then back into the flour (using one hand to work in the flour, and the other for dipping in the buttermilk). Allow to rest for at least a minute or so to allow the breader to set up.
• Pour the oil into a deep, heavy pot (cast iron is best), enough so that the pork chop has room to float, but there needs to be a few inches of clearance so that it doesn't overflow when you are frying. Heat the oil to 355 degrees F. Use a deep-fry thermometer to get the temperature right; too high and your food will burn on the outside before it is cooked on the inside, and too low your food will come out greasy and soggy.
• Gently the drop pork chops, 1 or 2 at a time, into the oil; don't crowd the pot. Fry until golden brown on the outside, about 7 minutes. Serve with the pepper jelly.

BRINED SWEET AND SPICY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients for brine in a large non-reactive container, making sure salt and sugar are dissolved well. Place pork chops in brine and place in refrigerator overnight.
• Once you are ready to cook, rinse pork chops and pat dry. Season with salt and cracked black pepper (make sure not to add too much salt because the pork chops absorb salt from the brine as well.).
• Heat a skillet and melt the butter. Once the pan is hot, add pork chops and cook until done, adding more butter if needed. Once pork chops are done, remove from skillet and set aside.
• Add jalapeño strips and cook for about 2 minuted to release the flavor. Add more butter if needed.
• Add pineapple chunks, reserving the juice. Add grape tomatoes. Cook for about 1 minute.
• Add half the pineapple juice to the skillet. In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch with the remaining pineapple juice. Once the mixture in the skillet starts to lightly simmer, add the cornstarch mixture and let the sauce thicken.
• Serve and enjoy!

SPICY MAPLE ROASTED PORK CHOPS AND SWEET POTATOES

• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• In a small bowl, combine paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, black pepper and salt. Divide in half.
• In a medium bowl, combine half of spice mixture, sweet potatoes, olive oil and maple syrup. Toss to coat sweet potatoes thoroughly. Spread sweet potatoes onto foil-lined baking sheet into a single layer, leaving two spaces in the middle for the pork chops. Note: Be sure to use a rubber spatula to scrape all the liquid out of the bowl onto the potatoes.
• Rub remaining half of spice mixture lightly over both sides of pork chops and nestle into spaces made in sweet potatoes.
• Roast for 35-40 minutes or until pork chops are done (juices run clear when thickest part is pierced with a fork).
