Provided by OSORKIN

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.

PORK CHOPS WITH PEARS AND CIDER



Pork Chops with Pears and Cider image

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 to 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 medium onion, root intact, cut in eighths
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic
5 large rosemary sprigs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 bone-in pork chops, 3/4- to 1-inch thick, or 6 to 8 ounces each
2 large USA Pears, cored and cut in eighths
3/4 cup pear or apple cider
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and onions with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 3 whole garlic cloves, and the leaves from a sprig of rosemary. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake 20 to 30 minutes, or until potatoes are light brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
  • While the potatoes and onions are in the oven, thinly slice the remaining 3 cloves of garlic. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, sliced garlic, and 4 rosemary sprigs over medium heat in a large cast iron skillet or other heavy-bottomed frying pan. Saute until the garlic is lightly golden and the olive oil is infused with flavors of garlic and rosemary. Remove the garlic slices and set aside. Discard the rosemary.
  • Season the pork chops with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Return the skillet to the stove and heat the infused oil in pan over high heat. Arrange the chops in the pan and sear until nicely browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn the chops and brown on the second side, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Add the pears to the pan, lower the heat, and continue cooking until pears become tender and lightly brown and the chops cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove the chops and pears from the pan and pour all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the pan.
  • Pour the cider in the pan and reduce by half over medium high heat, continuously scraping the bottom of the pan to remove any browned bits. Add the stock and reduce by half again. Add the butter, stirring until melted, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Return the pears to the pan.
  • To serve, place a chop on each of four plates, next to some roasted potatoes and onions. Spoon the pan sauce and several wedges of pear over each chop. Garnish with fresh rosemary leaves if desired.

You know pork's good with apple sauce, but have you tried it with pears? The sauce is also good with game or duck

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Lunch, Main course

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2kg loin of pork , on the bone
2 tbsp sunflower oil
25g butter
4 ripe pears , peeled, cored and chopped into chunks
1 tbsp fennel seeds
150ml perry or dry cider
2 tbsp golden caster sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9. Dry the skin of the pork with kitchen paper, then rub with the oil and season generously with sea salt. Sit the pork in a roasting tin, then roast for 20 mins. Reduce the heat to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and continue to roast the pork for 1 hr 20 mins until cooked and skin has turned to crisp crackling. If the skin isn't crisp enough, turn the oven back up to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9 for a further 10 mins.

If the pears don't break down, use a potato masher to mash into a rough purée. Serve the sauce in a bowl alongside the pork with your favourite side dishes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in chops that are at least 1-inch thick. Bone-in chops will stay juicier than boneless chops, and the thicker chops will cook more evenly.
  • Season the pork chops well: Pork chops can easily become bland, so be sure to season them well with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also marinate the pork chops for a few hours or overnight to infuse them with even more flavor.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help them cook evenly without overcooking. If you cook the pork chops over high heat, they will brown too quickly on the outside and be undercooked on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops: The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove them from the heat. This will ensure that the pork chops are cooked through but still juicy.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful pork chops.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with pear sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the pear sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
