Provided by The Chunky Chef

Categories     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 quart warm water
3 Tbsp kosher salt
2 sprigs fresh rosemary ((optional))
1 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
4 boneless pork chops ((thick cut, around 1 1/2 inches thick))
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/3 cup bourbon
3 Tbsp soy sauce (reduced sodium)
3 - 4 Tbsp light brown sugar (packed)
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
4 cloves garlic (minced or grated)
1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
pinch of cayenne pepper
1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp water

Steps:

  • Combine all brine ingredients in a large resealable plastic bag (I used a gallon size), or large airtight container. Whisk until combined well. Add pork chops to brine, seal bag or container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
  • When using a bag, I like to place the bag inside a baking dish, so in case the bag leaks, you won't have a giant mess in your refrigerator, it'll be contained in the dish.
  • Add all bourbon glaze ingredients to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over MED heat, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, reduce heat to LOW and simmer for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Mix slurry ingredients (cornstarch and water) in a small bowl, then add to bourbon glaze and cook another 1-2 minutes, until thickened.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Remove pork from brine, rinse with cold water, and pat very dry. Discard brine.
  • Season with 1/2 tsp EACH salt, pepper, smoked paprika and dried thyme.
  • Add vegetable oil to large oven-safe skillet and heat over MED-HIGH heat. Once pan is hot, add seasoned pork chops and cook, without flipping or moving, for 2-3 minutes.
  • Using tongs, flip pork chops over, and transfer skillet to the preheated oven.
  • Bake 5 minutes, then flip pork chops back over, return to the oven and bake another 4 minutes, until pork is cooked to 145 F degrees (internal temperature).
  • Remove pork chops to a plate, and cover loosely with foil. Leave to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Brush or spoon a bit of sauce over the top of each pork chops, then serve with remaining sauce on the side.

Categories     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 4 pork chops

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless pork chops
oil, suitable for high heat frying
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1/2 cup red wine (I tried a wine from C^otes du Rh^one)
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 lemon, zest and juice
2 tablespoons butter
fresh parsley, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Salt and pepper both sides of each pork chop. Heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in an oven-proof skillet big enough to hold all four pork chops.
  • Brown the pork chops, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the chops from the pan and transfer to an ovenproof platter; place in oven. Remove when the pork is just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  • While the pork chops are in the oven, prepare the sauce. Heat a tablespoon of oil on medium high heat in the same skillet you used to brown the chops.
  • Sauté the shallots until soft and golden. Add the wine and water and let boil down for 1-2 minutes, scraping up the brown bits.
  • Add the blueberries. When the skins begin to burst, add the lemon zest and juice. Let the sauce continue to boil and thicken until the pork chops are ready.
  • Once the pork chops are ready, remove the pan from the oven and place the pork chops on a cutting board and let them rest while finishing the sauce.
  • Turn the heat off under the saucepan and stir in the butter until it is completely melted. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt.
  • Serve the pork chops either whole or sliced, topped with the blueberry sauce and fresh parsley.

Make and share this Bourbon-Glazed Pork Chops recipe from Food.com.

Provided by ratherbeswimmin

Categories     Pork

Time 54m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Bourbon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 pork chops (bone-in, 1-inch-thick)

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish or large zip-lock heavy-duty freezer bag, stir together the first 6 ingredients; add in pork chops.
  • Cover dish or seal bag and chill 30 minutes, turning once.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality pork chops for the best flavor. Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Brine the pork chops for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and keep it moist.
  • Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • While the pork chops are cooking, make the bourbon blueberry glaze. Combine the bourbon, blueberries, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and olive oil in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
  • Brush the pork chops with the bourbon blueberry glaze and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes per side, or until the glaze is caramelized.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with bourbon blueberry glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
