ORANGE PORK CHOPS
I'm constantly on the lookout for ways to "spice up" a standard dish. When I fixed these pork chops for the first time, my husband-who has a hearty appetite for down-home cooking-commented, "You can make this anytime!" We have a 5-month-old son, and he's already showing signs he'll take after his dad in the eating department. Our daughters, 6 and 8 , help me with the cooking. So it's a good thing that I have a large recipe collection!

CITRUS-GLAZED PORK CHOPS WITH GINGERY BOK CHOY
Rich pork makes a perfect companion to tart oranges in this tasty weeknight meal. The bold, bright, citrusy sauce demands a robust cut of meat, so pick well-marbled, thick-cut pork chops with a nice fat cap. A dry rub of brown sugar creates a caramelized layer that lends depth to the pan sauce, and the gingery bok choy adds a delightful bit of freshness. This is quite a meal on its own, but you can steam some brown or white rice for a starchy side. Slice the pork to serve, and drizzle the pan sauce over everything.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the ginger and rice vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Trim the bok choy and cut into 3- to 4-inch pieces, if large, or cut down the middle lengthwise, if using baby bok choy. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the bok choy to the pan, cut-side down, if using baby bok choy, and sear on one side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add additional oil, if necessary. Flip to cook on the other side until just tender, about 1 minute. Transfer bok choy to the ginger marinade and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Rub both sides of the pork chops with the brown sugar and season generously with salt. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium heat. Arrange chops and orange halves in the skillet, cut-side down. Sear one side of the pork (without moving it) until deep brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the pork but leave the orange undisturbed. Cook on medium-low until the pork is browned on both sides and the orange halves are charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Move the orange to a serving platter and the pork to a plate.
- Add the shallots and garlic to skillet and cook until softened and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add all the pork chops and any accumulated juices back to the pan, overlapping if necessary. Add the orange juice and 1/4 cup water. Bring the liquid to a simmer, swirling the pan to release any bits stuck to the bottom. Cover and cook for 3 minutes, then uncover and cook until the pork is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the cooked chops to a board and allow the sauce to continue cooking until reduced and sticky, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Transfer the bok choy to the serving platter. Slice the pork and transfer to the platter along with any accumulated juices from the meat. Spoon the pan sauce and squeeze the caramelized orange halves over the top.
Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, select thick-cut pork chops, at least 1-inch thick.
- For a crispy crust, pat the pork chops dry before searing.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or grill pan to sear the pork chops.
- Sear the pork chops over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a golden brown crust forms.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the pork chops for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- To make the orange sauce, use fresh oranges for the best flavor.
- Be sure to zest the oranges before juicing them, as the zest adds a lot of flavor to the sauce.
- Add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the sauce to thicken it, if desired.
- Serve the pork chops immediately, topped with the orange sauce and chopped parsley.
Conclusion:
Pork chops with oranges and parsley is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the orange sauce is tangy and sweet. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
