CHIPOTLE PORK CHOPS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, seeds removed, plus 2 tablespoons sauce from the can
4 cloves garlic
4 bay leaves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
1 large onion, halved and sliced
1 cup canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
6 bone-in pork blade chops (1/2 to 3/4 inch thick; about 3 1/2 pounds total)

Steps:

  • Combine the chiles and adobo sauce, garlic, bay leaves, cumin, thyme, cinnamon and 5 teaspoons salt in a food processor and pulse to make a paste. Transfer to a shallow dish and add the onion, tomatoes, cilantro and 1/3 cup olive oil; mix well. Add the pork chops, turning to coat; cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat a grill to medium. Meanwhile, remove the pork chops from the marinade, scraping off the excess, and transfer to a plate. Transfer the marinade to a skillet; add 1/4 cup water and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid simmers and the onions start sizzling, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside for basting. (You can also do this in a cast-iron skillet on the grill.)
  • Brush the chops with olive oil and transfer to the grill. Cook until marked, 7 to 8 minutes, rotating the pork 45 degrees halfway through to create a crosshatch pattern and brushing with the liquid from the marinade. Flip and repeat, brushing with more marinade, including some pieces of onion and tomato. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes.

ORANGE-CHIPOTLE PORK CHOPS



Orange-Chipotle Pork Chops image

These simple pork chops have a sweet but spicy flavor. This dish requires a flambe, but if you cannot (or are afraid to do so), you can always add the orange liqueur to the marinade before you reduce it, though the result is not quite the same. From Jaime Ernesto Arrieta, San Salvador, El Salvador.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help them stay juicy during cooking.
  • Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a mixture of orange juice, chipotle peppers, and spices helps to infuse them with flavor and keep them moist.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat helps to prevent them from drying out.
  • Baste the pork chops with the glaze: Basting the pork chops with the glaze during cooking helps to keep them moist and adds extra flavor.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest before serving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Chipotle Orange Glazed Pork Chops is a delicious and easy way to prepare pork chops. The orange juice and chipotle peppers give the chops a sweet and spicy flavor, and the glaze adds a beautiful caramelized crust. These chops are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
