Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Vinaigrette
6 bacon slices
1 2/3 cups low-salt chicken broth
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1/3 cup chopped smoked ham
5 1/2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Pork chops
6 3/4- to 1-inch-thick pork rib chops
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 large fresh thyme sprigs
1/4 cup finely chopped Serrano ham or prosciutto (about 2 ounces)
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
Fleur de sel (French sea salt; optional)
Yukon Gold Potato and Fuji Apple Gratins

Steps:

  • For vinaigrette:
  • Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until fat is rendered, about 6 minutes. Remove bacon and reserve for another use. Transfer 1/3 cup bacon drippings to measuring cup (add vegetable oil to measure 1/3 cup if necessary).
  • Boil broth in heavy small saucepan until reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add shallot; sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add chopped ham, then brown sugar and vinegar. Increase heat to medium; stir until mixture is syrupy, about 2 minutes. Add reduced broth; boil until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Pour through strainer into same small saucepan; discard solids in strainer. Set vinaigrette aside.
  • For pork chops:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, add pork chops to skillet; cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to roasting pan large enough to hold chops in single layer. Add thyme sprigs to pan; place in oven and roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into chops registers 150°F, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand while finishing vinaigrette.
  • Rewarm vinaigrette over medium heat. Whisk in bacon drippings and Serrano ham. Season with salt and pepper. Place 1 pork chop on each of 6 plates. Drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle with fleur de sel, if desired. Spoon vinaigrette over. Serve with potato gratins.

  • Let the dressing sit for a while before using: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. If you can, make the dressing a few hours or even a day before you plan to use it.
  • Use the dressing on a variety of dishes: Sweet serrano vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes, including salads, grilled vegetables, and even fruit salads.
