PAN-ROASTED PORK CHOPS WITH APPLE FRITTERS

The recipe takes a little planning. You want to brine the pork chops for a day or two before you set out to cook. This gives them a juiciness and depth of flavor you are otherwise unlikely to get from a commercially raised hog. (If you have access to a pig raised on acorns and herbs, feel free to cut corners.) Chef Josh Cohen toasts the spices he uses in his brining liquid before incorporating them. This is very much to the good of the chops and is worth the few extra moments it requires.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 cup apple cider
6 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
3 bay leaves
2 dried chiles de árbol
5 juniper berries
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
4 pork chops on the bone, approximately 1 ½ inches thick
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like canola
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 shallots peeled and finely diced
1 teaspoon thyme leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons brandy
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup pork or chicken stock
2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon horseradish, ideally freshly grated
2 cups apple cider
1 cinnamon stick
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into ½-inch rounds
1 whole egg
½ cup very cold seltzer water
½ cup rice flour
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup neutral oil, like canola

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the apple cider with 4 cups of water, the sugar and the salt. Toast the bay leaves, chilies, juniper berries, caraway seeds, mustard seeds and coriander seeds in a small pan set over medium heat until you can smell them, then add to the brine, and stir to combine. Add the pork chops, cover and place in the refrigerator to brine overnight or for up to 48 hours.
  • To pan-roast the pork chops, preheat oven to 375. Remove chops from brine, and pat dry with paper towel. Season the meat aggressively with freshly ground black pepper and a little salt. Set a large sauté pan that will fit in the oven over medium-high heat. Add the oil, and when it is shimmering, place the chops in the pan. Cook until well seared on one side, approximately 4 minutes, then turn the chops over, and place pan in the oven to finish, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. (The internal temperature of the pork, measured at the center of the chop, should be between 140 and 145 for medium rare.) Remove the meat from the pan, and allow to rest for 5 minutes or so while you make the sauce.
  • Return the pan to the stovetop, over medium heat, and add the butter, stirring and scraping to incorporate meat drippings, then add the shallots and the thyme. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, then add the brandy. Allow the mixture to reduce by half, then add the cream and the stock and reduce again, until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Remove the sauce from the heat, and whisk in the mustard and the horseradish.
  • For the apple fritters, heat the apple cider and the cinnamon stick with a couple of inches of water in a large pot set over high heat. Add the apple rounds, and blanch for 1 minute, then remove to a towel to dry. Whisk together the egg and the seltzer until frothy, then gently mix in the flours. Put the oil in a large pan set over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, dip the apple rings into the batter, and fry in the oil until golden brown.
  • Serve the pork chops with a few apple fritters and a heavy drizzle of sauce across the top. The usual accompaniment is potato-and-horseradish pierogies sautéed in brown butter, though roasted new potatoes with a topping of butter and freshly grated horseradish will answer almost as well.
