Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 thick-cut pork chops
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons brown sugar
olive oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine your spices (paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt).
  • Rub the pork chops in the spices generously.
  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium/high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pork chops. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until they have a nice caramelized brownness to them. Once you feel that they are looking browned, add a Tablespoon of brown sugar to each pork chop. Turn each pork chop over, so both sides get some melted brown sugar. (Don't add the brown sugar too early or else the sugar will burn and smoke up the room.)
  • Bake at 350˚F (175˚C) for 15 minutes, making sure the pork chops are cooked through.

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 JAMMY-MUSTARD GLAZE



Pork Chops With Jammy-Mustard Glaze image

Fruit and mustard are two classic accompaniments to pork, and really, a juicy chop doesn't need much more than that for a sweet and tangy sauce. Mix together water, grainy mustard and any fruit preserve that's good with pork like cherry, fig, peach or apricot. Sear bone-in pork chops mostly on one side to prevent overcooking, then pour the fruit-mustard mixture into the skillet while they rest. The pork will stay moist, and its juices will have time to mingle with the sauce. Then just slice the pork and drape it in the velvety two-ingredient glaze. Eat with mashed or roasted potatoes and a green salad.

Categories     weeknight, meat, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons cherry, fig, peach or apricot preserves, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard, plus more if needed
4 (1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick) pork rib chops (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons neutral oil (such as canola or grapeseed)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup water, the preserves and the mustard. Set near the stove. Pat the pork chops dry, and season all over with salt and pepper.
  • In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the pork chops and cook, occasionally pressing down to make good contact with the skillet, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, flip the chops and cook until opaque on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the jam-mustard mixture, turn off the heat, and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the chops to plates, then return the skillet to medium-low heat and simmer, scraping up browned bits, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Every jam is different, so if it's too sweet, add more mustard, salt or black pepper; if it's too salty, add a little more jam; if it's too intense or thick, add a little more water; if it's flat, add salt. Spoon sauce over the pork chops.

Tips for Making the Best Fruit Glazed Pork Chops

  • Choose the right pork chops. For this recipe, bone-in pork chops are best. They have more flavor than boneless pork chops, and the bone helps to keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Make sure the pork chops are evenly thick. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Use a good quality fruit glaze. The glaze is what gives these pork chops their amazing flavor, so it's important to use a good one. I recommend using a glaze that is made with fresh fruit and has a nice balance of sweet and tart flavors.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Baste the pork chops with the glaze frequently. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the pork chops until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the pork chops should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion

Fruit glazed pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your fruit glazed pork chops turn out perfectly every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try tonight!
