SWEET AND TANGY APPLE PORK CHOPS



Sweet and Tangy Apple Pork Chops image

This is a recipe I created using the idea that pork and apples go splendidly together! The seasonings give the pork a sweet and slightly spicy taste. The apple cider adds to the sweetness, while bringing a unique tartness as it is absorbed into the meat. Serve with applesauce, if desired. Hope you enjoy!

Provided by Chris Morocco

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Pork     Quick & Easy     Capers     Garlic     Pork Chop     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (1"-thick) bone-in pork rib chops (look for the most marbled ones you can find, preferably with some fat cap too)
Kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp. sugar, divided
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 large shallot, chopped
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 sprigs rosemary
1 Tbsp. drained capers
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Season pork chops with salt and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 tsp. sugar. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook chops, undisturbed, until well browned underneath, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook just until second side is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Transfer chops to a plate (they won't be fully cooked); reduce heat to medium.
  • Pour remaining 1 Tbsp. oil into same skillet and add shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until softened and just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Add vinegar and remaining 1 tsp. sugar to skillet. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until vinegar is nearly evaporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Add rosemary, capers, and 1/2 cup water to skillet; season with salt. Reduce heat as needed to maintain a very low simmer. Add butter and swirl pan continuously (and vigorously) until sauce becomes smooth, glossy, and emulsified.
  • Return pork chops to skillet, arranging darker side up. Simmer gently in sauce, swirling occasionally, until chops are cooked through, about 3 minutes (a thermometer inserted near the bones should register 135°F).
  • Transfer pork chops to plates and spoon sauce over.

SWEET N SPICY PORK CHOPS



Sweet N Spicy Pork Chops image

These are broiled, nicely spiced, and always a big hit. They're quick to prepare also, and work as well for a family dinner as they do for company. I usually make some type of green beans (if I'm really in a hurry I get a can of Del Monte seasoned green beans), and some type of potatoes, but mac n cheese works too. Also, kids love these.

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 center-cut pork chops (or the type you prefer, thickness is up to you)
ground black pepper
granulated garlic
brown sugar, for each chop (I use light, but dark will work)
salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Line large broiler pan with foil (if not using heavy duty foil. line it twice, makes for easy clean up) Also. you just need the bottom of the pan, not the rack.
  • Place chops in pan, and season heavily with, pepper, and garlic (and note I mean HEAVY). Lightly salt, if desired. Then top with about 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Place under broiler, (if using gas - use 2nd from top slot, if electric, either 2nd from top, or 3rd). If chops are really thick, for gas broiler, put on bottom slot.
  • Cook about 10 - 15 minutes, until sugar is bubbly and turning quite dark. The dark color is mostly just the sugar getting brown, not the meat.
  • Turn chops, then repeat with spices and sugar (yes another 2 tablespoons), and cook another 10 or 15 minutes, till done. Just keep watching them to make sure they don't burn, but remember the sugar is going to bubble and get dark, so account for that--just make sure pork is cooked totally through (or to the doneness you prefer). Cooking time is of course going to vary based on how thick your chops are.
  • Hope you enjoy.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 55m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 small Kirby or Persian cucumbers, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup apricot jam
3 tablespoons sambal oelek or chili-garlic sauce
1 head broccoli (12 ounces), cut into large florets
3 small sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch wedges
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for drizzling
4 bone-in pork chops (each 1 inch thick), preferably rib end

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°F, with a rimmed baking sheet on center rack and another rack in top position. Stir together cucumbers, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons cilantro; season with salt and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together jam and sambal oelek; set aside. In another bowl, toss broccoli and sweet potatoes with 3 tablespoons oil; season.
  • Remove sheet from oven; drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then spread broccoli mixture in a single layer. Roast, flipping once, until charred in places, 22 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a plate; toss with remaining cilantro. Switch oven to broil.
  • Season chops with salt and pepper; place on same baking sheet and broil on top rack until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Flip; spread reserved jam mixture over chops. Broil until glaze is bubbly and chops are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Return broccoli mixture to sheet; broil 30 seconds. Serve with cucumber salad, topped with cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use a meat mallet to tenderize the pork chops before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Marinate the pork chops in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes. This will help them absorb flavor.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium-high heat in a large skillet. This will help them brown quickly and evenly.
  • Once the pork chops are browned, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until they are cooked through. This should take about 10 minutes per side.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.

Conclusion:

Sweet and tangy pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give sweet and tangy pork chops a try.
