Categories main-dish

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

Ingredients

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.

Apple ginger pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet apples, savory ginger, and tender pork chops is sure to please everyone at the table.
