Best 7 Pork Chops In Red Sauce Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH WINE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet over high heat. Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops and sear them until they're nice and golden, about 2 minutes per side. (No need to completely cook the chops at this point.) Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium high, then throw in the whole cloves of garlic. Stir them around and cook until they get nice and golden brown, a couple minutes. Pour in the red wine, then add the bay leaf. Stir it around and cook, raising the heat if necessary, until the sauce is reduced and thick, several minutes.
• Stir in the beef broth (you can add more if it needs the liquid) and add the chops back to the skillet, arranging them so they're swimming in the sauce. Cook the chops in the sauce for a few minutes, then add the balsamic. Shake the skillet to get it to distribute, then cook for a couple more minutes, or until the pork chops are done.
• Remove the chops from the skillet once more, then let the sauce reduce a little more if needed, until it's very thick and rich and the garlic is soft. Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle in a little salt and pepper.
• Arrange the pork chops on a platter, then pour the whole skillet of sauce (including the garlic) over the top. Serve with Lemony Green Beans if desired.
• Snap off the stem ends of the green beans or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife.
• Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the butter. (It helps to use a pan with a light-colored bottom, so you can keep track of the color.) Swirl the pan occasionally so the butter cooks evenly. As the butter melts, it will begin to foam. The color will progress from lemony yellow to golden tan to, finally, a toasty brown.
• Once you smell that nutty aroma, add the green beans and saute for 3 to 4 minutes so the beans take on a little color. Add the lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper, then transfer to a platter in batches with tongs.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS AND GREENS WITH RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Brush the cut sides of the light-colored half of the leek with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Grill, covered and turning occasionally, until slightly charred and tender, about 8 minutes (reduce the heat or move the leek if it gets too dark). Transfer the grilled leek to a blender along with the roasted peppers, almonds, lemon juice, sugar, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and 2 tablespoons each olive oil and water. Puree until smooth.
• Wash the collards, leaving a lot of excess water on the leaves. Transfer to a large bowl and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper and toss. Grill the collards and the dark green half of the leek, turning often, until wilted and slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and tent the collards and leek with foil to steam.
• Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Grill until well marked and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
• Thinly slice the collards and leek; toss together. Divide the red pepper sauce among plates and top with the greens and pork chops. Sprinkle with the chives.

SPANISH STYLE PORK CHOPS WITH CHORIZO AND ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Season the chops with paprika, salt, and pepper. Place chops in skillet and sear meat to caramelize, about 2 minutes each side. Transfer the chops to a cookie sheet and place in the oven to finish off, 8 to 10 minutes, or until meat is firm to touch, but not tough. Remove from the oven and let the chops rest covered with a piece of aluminum foil for a few minutes.
• While the chops are in the oven, return the skillet to the cook top over medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and cook stirring frequently for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, onion, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook meat and onions for about 3 minutes.
• Bring 1 to 2 inches of water to a boil in another skillet with a lid.
• Grind the peppers and parsley in a food processor until smooth. Add the sherry or wine to the sausage and onions and stir, then stir in the ground peppers. Cook another minute or 2 or until the peppers are heated through.
• Place green beans in boiling water. Salt it and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and dress with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and salt and pepper.
• Place a chop on each dinner plate and top with the chorizo-roasted pepper sauce. Serve with green beans, garnished with Marcona or toasted almonds, Cheesy Rice and/or crusty bread, for plate-mopping.
• Melt butter over medium heat in a medium sauce pot. Add rice and toast in butter 2 minutes. Add stock and bring rice up to a boil. Cook rice 17 to 18 minutes until tender and liquids are absorbed. Remove from heat, fluff rice with fork, then stir in the parsley and cheese. Season the rice with salt and pepper, to taste.

PORK CHOPS WITH RED CHILE PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Wash pork chops and set on paper towels to dry. Roast whole jalapenos on the comal or in a cast iron skillet until all sides are toasted, approximately 10 minutes.
• Wet a small tea towel, then wrap the jalapenos in the tea towel and let them rest for 20 minutes. (This will help to soften them for peeling)
• While peppers rest, heat shortening in large cast iron skillet on medium-high.
• Cut pork chops into small and medium pieces (the sections with bone will be bigger). Season both sides of chops with kosher salt, garlic powder and crushed black pepper. Cook pork chops in skillet for about 15 to 20 minutes, periodically adding water to steam. Pork is done when chops have caramelized and water has evaporated.
• Take peppers out of tea towel and peel off skin. Cut off the ends of the peppers and place, one at a time in a food processor, and grind down with the salt and garlic. Add 1 tomato at a time (from the 2 cans of tomatoes), and grind all ingredients until sauce forms. Taste to determine if more salt is needed. Add the sauce to the pan with pork chops and simmer on low heat, uncovered, for about 10 to 15 minutes.
