ALMOND-CRUSTED PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES



Almond-Crusted Pork Chops with Apples image

My mom always cooked this dish in a heavy cast-iron skillet and every time she heated the pan, it had a fragrance of pure food history. In this recipe, take care to grind the almonds fine enough so they adhere as a crust.

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup whole almonds, toasted
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest (reserve the orange)
4 boneless pork chops (each about 8 ounces and 3/4-inch thick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 large whole eggs
Extra-virgin olive oil, enough for a shallow frying pan
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 large shallots, minced
2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, sliced 1/4-inch thick, then diced
1 teaspoon (1 sprig) chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon (packed) light brown sugar
Juice of 1 orange (about 1/3 cup)
1/2 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • To make the pork chops: In a food processor, pulse the almonds into crumbs. Mix the breadcrumbs and almonds in a shallow dish and stir in the orange zest. Season the mixture and the pork chops with salt and pepper. In another dish, mix the mustard and eggs together. Brush the chops with the mustard mixture and dredge all over in the crumbs.
  • Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add about 1/2 inch of the oil. When the oil is hot, brown the chops on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove them to a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and cook in the oven until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
  • To make the apples: Pour the fat out of the skillet, then wipe the skillet and set over medium heat. Melt the butter. Add the shallots, apples and rosemary, and toss until the apples begin to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the sugar, orange juice, stock, and some salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Cook just until the sauce comes together, about 15 minutes. Remove the pork chops from the oven and serve with the apples.

MUSTARD-CRUSTED PORK CHOPS WITH ROASTED APPLES AND ONIONS



Mustard-Crusted Pork Chops with Roasted Apples and Onions image

I love a thick cut pork chop and find that giving it a good long sear before flipping it and packing on a buttery flavorful crust makes for a warming weeknight dinner. The apples and onions are a classic pair and roast away while you focus on getting you chops browned and cooked to juicy perfection.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 Gala apples, cored and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
5 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
4 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Four 1- to 1 1/4-inch-thick bone-in pork rib chops (about 12 ounces each)
1 bunch rainbow Swiss chard, stems cut into 1/2-inch pieces, leaves cut into 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Position oven racks in the upper and lower third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Toss the apples and onion in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast on the lower oven rack until tender and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss together the panko, butter, whole-grain mustard, Dijon, thyme and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until well combined (the breadcrumbs should hold together when squeezed). Season the pork chops generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until shimmering and very hot. Add the pork chops and cook, undisturbed, until well browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the chops, then press some of the mustard-panko mixture onto the top of each chop. Transfer the saute pan to the upper rack of the oven and roast until the panko is browned and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes more.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in another large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the Swiss chard stems, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add the chard leaves and chicken broth and continue to cook, stirring, until the chard is wilted and the broth has almost completely evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Stir in the vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the pork chops, apples and chard among 4 dinner plates. Spoon any pan juices from the chard over the vegetables and serve warm.

PRETZEL CRUSTED PORK CHOPS WITH ORANGE MUSTARD SAUCE



Pretzel Crusted Pork Chops With Orange Mustard Sauce image

This recipe was adapted from one that I found in Bon Apetit magazine. If you buy candied orange peel instead of making your own it will go a lot faster. Candied orange peel is really not hard to make; just more time consuming. This recipe would be great for entertaining because most of the components can be made beforehand.

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Minced chives

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

- For the perfect crust, ensure your pork chops are dry before coating them in the almond mixture. You can pat them dry with paper towels or let them air dry for a few minutes. - Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pork chops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly. - Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness. The recommended internal temperature for pork chops is 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, and 165°F (74°C) for well done. - Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender chop.

Conclusion:

Almond-crusted orange mustard pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal that your family and friends will love.
