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.
  • Serve immediately.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes

Time 2h6m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ quarts water
5 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
6 pork loin chops, 1/2 inch thick
½ cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
½ cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 Vidalia onions, each cut into 8 wedges
2 pears, cored and each cut into 8 wedges
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the water, kosher salt, and sugar. Add pork chops to this brine, and let them soak for no more than one hour. Drain and discard the brine. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels.
  • In a shallow dish, stir together the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary. Place pork chops in the dish, and turn to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 or 2 hours.
  • Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by 1/2, about 10 minutes. When the vinegar cools, it should be the consistency of syrup.
  • Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high or high heat. Add the onions and pears, and quickly brown being careful to keep the wedges intact. Once the onions and pears are browned, reduce heat to low, and cook for about 7 minutes, or until tender. Stir in the reduced vinegar and salt. The recipe can be prepared up to this point several hours before grilling.
  • Preheat the grill for medium-high heat.
  • Warm pears on a cool section of the grill (in the skillet), while placing the pork chops over the hot part. Cook pork for about 3 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Remove to a serving plate, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for a few minutes. Uncover, top with the pear onion sauce, and serve.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in, center-cut pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. This will ensure that the chops are juicy and flavorful.
  • Brown the pork chops well: Searing the pork chops in a hot skillet will create a delicious crust and help to seal in the juices.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the pork chops will not brown evenly and will be more likely to steam than sear.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid will add flavor to the pork chops, so be sure to use something that you enjoy, such as apple cider, chicken broth, or white wine.
  • Cook the pork chops until they are cooked through: The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with pears, leeks, and ginger is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the pears, leeks, and ginger add a sweet and savory flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table.
