Number Of Ingredients 25

8 cups chicken stock
6 ounces frozen concentrated Granny Smith apple juice
1/4 cup tightly packed dark brown sugar
8 whole black peppercorns
Salt
1 1/2 cups maple syrup
1/4 cup prepared horseradish, drained
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
1/2 cup ancho chile powder
1/2 cup pasilla chile powder
1/2 cup chopped garlic
1 center cut pork loin (9 bones)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup coarsely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
2 tablespoons finely diced ginger
2 medium oranges, zest removed and finely sliced, flesh cut into segments
2 cups fresh orange juice
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons finely diced red pepper
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the stock, apple juice, sugar and peppercorns in a medium saucepan over high heat and reduce to 3 cups. Season to taste with salt and strain through a fine strainer.Mix all ingredients until well combined.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the chile powders and garlic.
  • Season the pork loin to taste with salt and pepper and rub all surfaces with the chile mixture. In a large roasting pan, roast the loin until medium rare, about 40 minutes.
  • When cool enough to handle, cut between the bones into 8 chops. In a heavy ridged grill pan, sear the chops 3 minutes on each side until grill marked. Place on a serving platter and brush with maple glaze. Serve with sauce and chutney on the side.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the onion and jalapeno until the onion is translucent.
  • Add the ginger, orange zest, orange juice, vinegar, brown sugar and honey and cook until the sauce is reduced by half and has a glazed appearance. Reduce the heat to low, add two thirds of the apple slices, and cook until the fruit is just tender.
  • Turn off the heat and gently fold in the remaining apples and the orange segments. Pour the chutney into a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Mix in the cilantro, red bell pepper and salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops. Look for chops that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and tender during cooking.
  • Marinate the pork chops before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce, or you can get more creative with your ingredients.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help to prevent the meat from drying out. You can cook the pork chops in a skillet, on a grill, or in the oven.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. The chops are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
