PORK CHOPS IN CHERRY-PEPPER SAUCE



Pork Chops in Cherry-Pepper Sauce image

You can use this sauce - spicy and fragrant and slightly syrupy, what the Italians call agrodolce - on pork chops as I call for here, or on veal chops, on steaks, on chicken. I bet it'd be good on grilled seitan or drizzled over tofu. The recipe is reminiscent of the cooking at red-sauce emporia like Bamonte's in Brooklyn, Rao's in Manhattan, Dominick's in the Bronx and, I hope, Carbone in Greenwich Village, where I first learned how to put it together at the elbow of the chef Mario Carbone. Serve with spaghetti dressed in butter and Parmesan, with garlic bread, with a spoon so you can slurp what's left on the plate. "It's a flavor that's purely Italian-American," Carbone told me. "You won't find it in Italy, no way."

Categories     easy, meat, one pot, steaks and chops, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16-ounce) jar pickled hot cherry peppers
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup dry white wine
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 bone-in pork chops, cut about 1-inch thick (approximately 10 ounces each)
1 tablespoon neutral oil, like canola or grapeseed
2 tablespoons cold salted butter
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Drain the cherry peppers, reserving 1 cup brine, then stem, halve, core and seed them. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the olive oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the garlic, and sauté, stirring frequently, until it begins to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peppers, the reserved brine and the white wine, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the liquid has reduced by slightly more than half, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat. (The sauce can be made a few hours ahead of time.)
  • When you're ready to cook the meat, season it aggressively with salt and pepper. Place a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the neutral oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, place the meat in the pan, working in batches if needed, and sear until the meat has browned, formed something of a crust and cooked through to medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer the chops to a warmed platter.
  • Add the sauce to the large, heavy-bottomed skillet in which you seared the meat, and warm over medium-low heat. Whisk the butter into the sauce until evenly distributed and the sauce develops a velvety sheen. Spoon sauce over chops, and garnish with parsley.

PORK CHOPS WITH BLACK CHERRY SAUCE



Pork Chops With Black Cherry Sauce image

Cherries and pork may sound like a weird combo, but these are amazing, and a great way to use up all those summer cherries.

Provided by almondjoy2807

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes     Baked

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 (8 ounce) bone-in pork chops
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup butter
¾ cup sliced shallots
1 ½ cups fresh black cherries, pitted and halved
2 tablespoons red wine
¼ cup beef broth
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then brown in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.

Cherry Glazed Pork Chops with Smashed Potatoes image

Get this complete dinner for four on the table in record time. The sweet and tangy cherry-balsamic glaze does double duty by both coating the pork chops and flavoring the salad dressing. Crispy smashed potatoes round out the meal.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound baby yellow potatoes
7 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless pork chops (about 6 ounces each)
1 shallot, chopped
2 tablespoons sweetened dried cherries
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup cherry jam
5 ounces mixed baby salad greens (about 4 cups)

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack 5 to 6 inches below the heat source and preheat the broiler to high.
  • Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork. Put the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate with 2 tablespoons water and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave until tender, about 10 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
  • Carefully uncover, drain the potatoes and transfer them to a baking sheet. Top with 2 tablespoons olive oil and half the chopped thyme. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Smash each potato by pressing down with a metal spatula until it flattens. Set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Sear until golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown on the second side, about 2 minutes more (the pork chops will not be cooked through at this point). Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the shallot, dried cherries and the remaining thyme and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 1/4 cup water and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cherry jam and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
  • Transfer 2 tablespoons of the glaze and the remaining 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to make a vinaigrette. Set aside.
  • Broil the potatoes until warm and golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Stir 2 tablespoons water into the remaining glaze in the skillet and bring to a simmer over high heat. Add the pork chops and any juices that have accumulated on the plate and turn over several times to coat with glaze. Return the pan to the oven and broil until the glaze is bubbly and thick and the pork chops are cooked through, about 2 minutes. (The pork chops should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F when measured with an instant-read thermometer.)
  • Meanwhile, add the salad greens to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat. Transfer the pork chops to a serving dish and pour the remaining glaze on top. Serve with the smashed potatoes and salad.

PORK CHOPS WITH CHERRY PAN SAUCE



Pork Chops With Cherry Pan Sauce image

I go this recipe from the Rachel Ray show and I make it with Simple Couscous. My family absolutely loved it - even my 14 year old daughter cleaned her plate. I count that a success anytime! It is a nice change to the everyday - and is easy to make!! I did modify the sauce a bit as I like the sauce a bit thicker and used bing cherries in syrup as i couldn't find the ones she called for. Turned out great and looked the same.

Provided by Lorac

Categories     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 boneless pork chops, 1 inch thick
1 (10 ounce) jar black cherry fruit spread
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Add fruit spread, wine, vinegar and rosemary to a small saucepan, whisk to combine and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
  • Add oil to a skillet and brown chops over medium high heat, 2 minutes per side.
  • Spoon glaze on chops, reduce heat to medium low, cover and cook 6 minutes.
  • Turn chops and cook 5 minutes more or until no longer pink in the center.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) before removing them from the heat.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork chops by cutting into one. The meat should be opaque and slightly pink in the center.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the sauce and cook until it thickens.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon instead of cooking it yourself.
  • If you don't have dry white wine, you can substitute it with chicken broth or apple cider.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This cherry pork chop recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with cherries, bacon, and white wine, and they are served with a side of roasted vegetables. This dish is sure to please the whole family.
