Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 bone-in center-cut pork chops
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp grater
1 orange, zested and juiced
1/2 to 1 habanero pepper, seeded and diced
Vegetable oil, for the grill grates
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1 green apple, peeled, cored and finely diced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 scallion, thinly sliced on the bias
1 lime, zested and juiced

Steps:

  • For the pork chops: Season the pork chops with salt and pepper; set aside while making the glaze.
  • Add the apricot preserves, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, orange zest and juice and habanero to a small pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the sauce is reduced and thickened, 10 to 15 minutes; let cool. Divide the glaze between 2 bowls, reserving 1 bowl for basting and one for serving with the cooked chops.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Coat the grates with plenty of vegetable oil to help create a nonstick surface.
  • Using a brush, coat the chops with the first round of glaze. Place them on the grill glazed-side down and grill without moving until the glaze begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Brush the tops with glaze, flip the chops, brush the other side with more glaze and continue cooking until the chops are caramelized, charred and sticky and the internal temperature registers 135 degrees F, another 7 to 10 minutes. Discard the basting glaze. Let the chops rest for 5 to 10 minutes, coating them once with the reserved serving glaze while resting.
  • For the relish: Combine the mint, apple, bell pepper, scallion and lime zest and juice in a bowl and toss to coat.
  • Top the pork chops with some green apple relish and serve with the remaining serving glaze and relish.

From All You magazine. I haven't tried this one yet, but it looks good to me. It says you can use honey or orange marmalade in place of apricot jam, or a flavored mustard. And it says it's good with a tablespoon or two of chopped fresh rosemary or thyme. I don't know why recipezaar and the magazin show such a HUGE difference in nutritional information, but the recipe shows: per serving: 310 calories, 13g fat (2g Sat.), 60mg chol., 0g fiber, 21g Pro., 28g Carb., 577mg Sod.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • To ensure tender and juicy pork chops, choose chops that are at least 1-inch thick. You can also tenderize the chops by pounding them with a meat mallet before cooking.
  • For a crispier crust on the pork chops, sear them in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Be sure to not overcrowd the pan, or the chops will steam instead of sear.
  • The apricot sauce is versatile and can be used with other meats, such as chicken or fish. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers or vegetables.
  • If you don't have apricot preserves on hand, you can substitute another fruit preserve, such as peach or orange.
  • To make the sauce ahead of time, simply prepare it according to the recipe and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with apricot sauce is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The sweet and tangy sauce perfectly complements the savory pork chops, and the dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables. Whether you're cooking for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this dish is sure to be a hit.
