Provided by Matthew Francis

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
5 cloves garlic, sliced
1 teaspoon red chile flakes
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
½ cup apple cider vinegar
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 (1-inch thick) bone-in pork chops

Steps:

  • Combine honey, mustard, garlic, chile flakes, 3 tablespoon olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; mix until fully combined.
  • Place pork chops into a resealable zip-top bag. Pour in marinade, seal the bag, massage to coat, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Remove pork chops from the marinade and place on paper towels. Pat chops as dry as possible with the paper towels. Set excess marinade aside.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high or high heat until it shimmers. Working in batches if necessary, sear the pork chops in the hot pan until the first side is a dark golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Turn the heat down to low and continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • While pork rests, pour leftover marinade into a skillet. Bring to a boil and continue to cook until it reduces and becomes as thick as you like, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour over pork chops.

Honey Walnut Pork Chops image

My dear niece, Sea Sun gets all of the credit in the world for this recipe but I've made a few change since she used chicken and pecans calling her amazing recipe, "Honey Pecan Chicken". This is as pretty as a picture and the next time I make this I will take pictures. If you don't try this you will never know what you are...

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box of stuffing mix, pork flavor
1 c orange juice
1/2 c boiling water
1/3 c walnuts, toasted and chopped
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 - 4 large bone in pork chops about 1 1/2" to 2" thick
2 - 4 slice bacon, uncooked
2 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp sherry(optional)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. 2. Combine the stuffing mix with 1/2 cup orange juice, boiling water, walnuts and butter. Let stand 5-10 minutes
  • 3. 3. Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops. Mound 1/2 cup of the stuffing mixture on each pork chop and press it down a little. Place a strip of bacon underneath the pork chop and bring the bacon to the top. Twist the bacon, like in the first step of tying a shoe.
  • 4. 4. Place in a prepared pan or casserole dish.
  • 5. 5. Mix the remaining orange juice, honey and sherry(if using). Spoon this over the pork.
  • 6. 6. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes depending on the thickness of the pork chops. I used two, two inch pork chops and my dish took 60 minutes. Baste after 20 minutes, bake for another 20 minutes and baste again. I basted the pork chops just before serving them and drizzled extra virgin olive oil on top.
  • 7. I had stuffing left so I served it on the side.

QUICK AND EASY HONEY-GARLIC PORK CHOPS



Quick and Easy Honey-Garlic Pork Chops image

This is a quick and easy recipe for pork chops in a flavorful honey-garlic sauce.

Provided by andsha

Categories     Pan Fried Pork Chops

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (5 ounce) pork chops
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup honey
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
  • Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sear pork chops until golden brown and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
  • Reduce heat to medium and melt butter in the pan juices, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add honey, water, and vinegar. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally until sauce has reduced down and slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Return pork back to the skillet and baste generously with the sauce.
  • Transfer skillet under the broiler and broil until edges of pork chops are slightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 160°F (71°C) for medium, or 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork chops by cutting into one of them. The meat should be slightly pink in the center for medium-rare, or cooked through with no pink for well-done.
  • To save time, you can use pre-chopped walnuts in this recipe.
  • If you don't have honey on hand, you can substitute it with brown sugar or maple syrup.
  • For a more flavorful sauce, use a combination of honey and Dijon mustard.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This honey walnut pork chops recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the honey walnut sauce is sweet and savory. Serve this dish with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
