APPLE CIDER-GLAZED PORK CHOPS RECIPE



Apple Cider-Glazed Pork Chops Recipe image

This apple cider-glazed pork chops recipe is easy enough for everyday but elegant enough for company!

Provided by Cheryl Najafi

Categories     dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs pork loin chops (boneless )
salt
pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp oil
1 cup apple cider
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp honey
2 tsp Dijon mustard
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Pat pork chops dry using a paper towel then season on both sides with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, chili powder and flour together until completely combined.
  • Sprinkle each pork chop with seasoned flour then pat to coat evenly. Set pork chops aside to allow flour to absorb moisture released by the pork chops.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat then allow the pan to heat evenly. Add oil then place as many pork chops as will comfortably fit into skillet without overcrowding the pan.
  • Cook for about 2-3 minutes until dark golden brown on the first side, then flip and cook on second side to desired doneness or until just barely cooked though-additional 1-2 minutes depending on thickness. Transfer pork chops to a plate, cover lightly with a sheet of aluminum foil and set aside.
  • Return skillet to heat then add apple cider, vinegar, honey and Dijon to skillet, whisking to combine. Bring mixture to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pan to dissolve all of the brown bits into the cider.
  • Allow liquid to boil rapidly for about 6-8 minutes until it becomes thick and has reduced by slightly more than half. Remove from heat then season glaze to taste with salt and pepper. Return pork chops to skillet, turning to coat in glaze, or pour glaze over pork chops and serve immediately.

PAN SEARED PORK CHOPS WITH GLAZED CARROTS



Pan Seared Pork Chops With Glazed Carrots image

These chops are nice and tangy. You could also try this with NY Strip, mouth watering Ribeye, or T-Bone steak. A special thanks to our Zaar friend PaulaG for her help with revising the recipe. :) A great way to ensure tender and moist chops is to soak them in a brine of 1 cup milk to 1/2 Tbs salt for at least 1 hour before using in a recipe.

CIDER-BRINED PORK CHOPS WITH PERFECT PAN SAUCE



Cider-Brined Pork Chops with Perfect Pan Sauce image

This brine has a higher concentration of salt than most, allowing it to add flavor and moisture to your chops in as little as 30 minutes. If you have more time, brine them up to 4 hours for maximum flavor, but no longer or the pork will be too salty. Add the easy pan sauce to your repertoire and make it your own by using white wine or dark beer instead of cider and varying the herbs based on what you like and have on hand.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/3 cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
2 teaspoons whole coriander seeds
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 teaspoon allspice berries
2 bay leaves
4 fresh thyme sprigs
One 12-ounce bottle or can chilled hard cider (1 1/2 cups)
4 bone-in, center-cut pork chops, about 1 inch thick
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus more sprigs for garnish
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus more sprigs for garnish
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup hard cider
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the brine: combine the salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, coriander, mustard seeds, allspice berries, bay leaves, thyme and 1 1/2 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar and salt, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and pour in the cold cider. Let the brine cool to room temperature.
  • Put the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the brine. Press out excess air and seal tightly. Put the bag in a shallow container so it can lay flat and refrigerate for 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • Drain the chops, rinse and pat dry. Discard the brine.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the chops (work in batches if necessary; do not crowd the pan) and cook, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, 13 to 14 minutes. (If the chops are browning too quickly or the pan drippings start to burn, lower the heat.) Remove to a plate.
  • For the sauce: Discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and place over medium heat. Add the garlic, rosemary and thyme and cook until sizzling, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to make a paste. Whisk in the cider and bring to a simmer.
  • Simmer until very thick, about 1 minute. Add the stock, bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the cream and simmer to bring the sauce together, about 1 minute. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, vinegar and parsley. Season to taste with salt. Add the chops to the pan and simmer, turning occasionally, until just heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve garnished with fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs.

CIDER GLAZED PORK CHOPS



Cider Glazed Pork Chops image

This is the perfect fall dish. It is a great blend of sweet and savory. As soon as apple season comes around, I hit the local apple orchard for fresh cider just to make this dish!

Provided by Grooved Pavement

Categories     Pork

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 sirloin pork chops, trimmed of visible fat and the thickness can range from 1/2-inch thick to 3/4-inch (about 1 1/2 pounds)
fresh ground pepper
salt (optional)
2 teaspoons olive oil (canola oil can be used)
1 cup apple cider (sparkling cider can be used)
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar (I have used plain white vinegar as well with no taste difference)
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard (add a pinch or two more to taste if desired)

Steps:

  • Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season each side with a sprinkling of pepper, and salt if desired. Heat oil in a large nonstick frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until just hot then add pork chops and brown both sides (around 5 minutes if your pork chops are around 1/2-inch thick).
  • Stir cider and brown sugar together and add to the frying pan. Reduce heat to low and simmer the pork chops, uncovered, turning the chops after a minute, until the meat is almost cooked through but not quite (about 2 minutes). Remove pork chops to a plate with a fork.
  • Add the vinegar and ground mustard to the frying pan juices and bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Continue to cook until the glaze mixture is reduced to about 1/3 cup. It will take 5 to 10 minutes. The cider mixture will get bubbly when it is just about at the syrup/glaze stage.
  • Turn off heat. Place the pork chops back in the frying pan along with any juices that formed on the bottom of the plate.
  • Flip chops over to coat both sides with the cider glaze, cover frying pan and let sit for a minute or two to blend flavors. Check thickest part of the pork chop for desired doneness and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose thick-cut pork chops for a more flavorful and juicy result.
  • Pat the pork chops dry before cooking to help the glaze adhere better.
  • Use a neutral-flavored oil, such as canola or vegetable oil, for searing the pork chops.
  • Sear the pork chops over medium-high heat to create a nice crust.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the pork chops until they are cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Make the cider glaze while the pork chops are cooking. Combine apple cider, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and spices in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  • Brush the pork chops with the glaze during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately with the remaining glaze, roasted carrots, and mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Cider-glazed pork chops with carrots is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the glaze is sweet and tangy. The carrots are roasted to perfection and add a pop of color to the dish. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
