Categories     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 (4 ounce) boneless pork chops, select a thicker cut and trim all visible fat
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons canola oil or 2 teaspoons corn oil
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar (I think you can do this with Splenda by adding it closer to the end of the preparation)
2/3 cup white wine, dry would be best
1 cup reduced-fat chicken broth
1 firm ripe bosc pears or 1 Anjou pear, peeled, cored and cut lengthwise into eighths
1/4 cup fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thin julienne strips
6 scallions, trimmed and sliced into 1/2 inch lengths
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons water

Steps:

  • Season porkchops with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and just cooked through, two to three minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Pour off fat from the pan.
  • Add vinegar and sugar to the pan and stir to dissolve the sugar. Cook over medium-high heat until the syrup turns dark amber, 10 to 20 seconds. Pour in wine and bring to a simmer while stirring.
  • Add broth, pears and ginger to the wine-vinegar sauce bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, turning the pears occasionally, for 4 minutes. Add scallions and cook until the pears are tender, about 2 minutes more.
  • Mix together the water and cornstarch into a slurry and add to the pan. Stir until the sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low and return the pork and any accumulated juices to the pan; turn to coat with the sauce.

PORK CHOPS BAKED IN PEAR SAUERKRAUT



Pork Chops Baked in Pear Sauerkraut image

Served with mashed potatoes, this meal reminds me of time I spent in Germany. A real German hausfrau would cook up an apple in her sauerkraut, but using baby food is a real time-saver and still softens the flavor of the sauerkraut and makes it delicious.

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 boneless center cut pork chops, 1/2 inch thick (4 to 5 oz. each)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 lb sauerkraut (bagged, not canned!)
1 (6 ounce) jar pear baby food or 1 (6 ounce) jar apple baby food

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F.
  • Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
  • Add pork chops and cook about 2 minutes per side, turning once, until lightly browned.
  • Remove skillet from heat and remove chops to a plate.
  • Sprinkle with pepper and salt.
  • Meanwhile drain sauerkraut, rinse under cold water, and squeeze dry with paper towels.
  • Mix sauerkraut and puréed pears in the skillet.
  • Top with pork chops.
  • Bake uncovered, 18 to 20 minutes, until centers of chops are opaque and barely pink.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes.
  • Note: My supermarket stores the bagged sauerkraut in the meat section near the bratwurst and other sausages.
  • It really is better tasting than any of the canned or jarred kinds I've tried, if you can find it.
