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

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.

Provided by Ali Slagle

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:

  • Choose the right pork chops. Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops well. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before cooking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat. Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. Cook the pork chops for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the glaze while the pork chops are cooking. This will give the glaze time to thicken and develop its flavor. To make the glaze, simply whisk together brown sugar, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and spices in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, or until it has thickened.
  • Glaze the pork chops before serving. Once the pork chops are cooked, brush them with the glaze. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the pork chops.
  • Serve the pork chops with roasted squash and apples. Roasted squash and apples are a delicious and healthy side dish for pork chops. To roast the squash and apples, simply toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then, roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender.

Conclusion:

Glazed pork chops and squash is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor. The roasted squash and apples are a healthy and delicious side dish that complements the pork chops perfectly. This meal is sure to please everyone at the table.
