PORK CHOPS WITH PEAR SAUCE



Pork Chops with Pear Sauce image

I created this recipe because I have found that many pork recipes have little flavor, are too spicy, or just require too much work. My husband and I prefer sweet food rather than spicy or sour, hence a new pork recipe was born. This is delicious when served with rice and green vegetables as side dishes.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 pork tenderloins
2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
8 medium-size red-skinned potatoes, quartered
15 Seckel pears, peeled, stemmed and cored through the bottom
2 cups ginger beer

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a flameproof, ovenproof roasting pan. Season the pork with 1 teaspoon of the salt and pepper, and place in the pan. Cook until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside. Add the potatoes to the pan and season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste. Roast for 15 minutes.
  • Add the pears to the pan and roast with the potatoes for 5 minutes longer. Push the potatoes and pears to the edge of the pan and place the pork tenderloins in the center. Roast until the pork is only slightly pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove the pork, potatoes and pears from the pan and place the pan over medium heat. Add the ginger beer and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan. Let reduce to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes.
  • Cut the pork into inch-thick slices. Divide the pork, potatoes and pears among 4 plates and spoon sauce over each. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
  • For a more intense ginger flavor, use freshly grated ginger instead of ground ginger.
  • If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or apple cider.
  • To make the sauce thicker, simmer it for a few minutes longer or add a cornstarch slurry.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
