Recipe VIDEO above. Nothing infuses pork chops with flavour like a good marinade! This one is ideal for grilling so the high heat sears the crust beautifully. But the pork chops can of course be cooked on the stove, or even bake them! Also use this marinade for the proteins - see notes.

PORK CHOPS IN LEMON-CAPER SAUCE



Pork Chops in Lemon-Caper Sauce image

Here's my favorite recipe in Toni Tipton-Martin's excellent and invaluable "Jubilee: Recipes From Two Centuries of African American Cooking" (2019). It's a remix of one that the chef Nathaniel Burton collected into his 1978 opus, "Creole Feast: Fifteen Master Chefs of New Orleans Reveal Their Secrets," and one that Tipton-Martin glossed-up with lemon zest, juice and extra butter, a technique she learned from the restaurateur B. Smith's 2009 collection of recipes, "B. Smith Cooks Southern-Style." It's a dish of smothered pork chops, essentially, made into something glorious and elegant. "The food history of Blacks in America has been a story of the food of survival," she told me in an interview. "We need to start celebrating the food they made at work."

Categories     dinner, easy, weeknight, meat, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 bone-in pork chops (about 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 very small shallot, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
2 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, homemade or low-sodium, if store-bought
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons juice
Hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Dry the chops with paper towels, and season aggressively with salt, pepper and the thyme. Swirl the olive oil into a large skillet, and heat over medium until the oil begins to shimmer. Add chops, and cook until well browned on each side and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a plate, and cover to keep warm.
  • Drain the fat from the skillet, then melt 2 tablespoons of butter in it over medium heat until sizzling. Add the shallot and garlic, and sauté until the aromatics soften, reducing the heat if necessary, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Whisk in the wine and chicken stock, raise heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the capers, parsley, lemon zest and juice and hot sauce to taste (if you're using it), and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until it's melted and the sauce looks smooth. Nestle the pork chops into the sauce, and allow them to warm up for a couple of minutes, then serve, pouring sauce over each pork chop to taste. Garnish with more fresh parsley.

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 big pork loin chops
3 garlic cloves , crushed
small handful flat-leaf parsley , chopped
½ tsp fennel seeds , roughly chopped
zest and juice 1 lemon , plus 1 lemon, quartered
3 tbsp olive oil
6 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Sit the chops in a dish. Mix together the garlic, parsley, fennel seeds, lemon zest and juice, oil and bay, then rub all over the chops. Leave the chops to marinate for at least an hour, or up to a day.
  • Heat a barbecue, frying pan or griddle pan. Season the chops, then cook for 5-8 mins on each side until cooked through (if cooking in batches, wrap the cooked chops in foil while you finish the rest). Add the lemon quarters for the last min to char, then serve alongside the pork.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right pork chops is essential for the success of this recipe. Look for thick-cut, bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Marinating the pork chops in the lemon-barbecue sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, will help to infuse them with flavor. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chops for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer you marinate them, the better the flavor will be.
  • Cooking the pork chops over medium heat is important to prevent them from drying out. Overcrowding the pan will also cause the chops to steam rather than sear, so be sure to cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook the chops to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium, cook the chops to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. And for well-done, cook the chops to an internal temperature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

This lemon-barbecue pork chops recipe is a delicious and easy way to prepare pork chops. The combination of lemon and barbecue sauce creates a tangy and flavorful marinade that infuses the chops with flavor. The chops are then cooked to perfection over medium heat, resulting in a juicy and tender dish. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
