Spicy twist to pork chops and so easy to make.

Provided by Elaine Laskowski

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pork chops
3 Tbsp butter
2 tsp olive oil
2 peaches, canned or fresh, chopped
1/4 c pepper jelly (recipe follows)
salt and pepper to taste
HOT PEPPER JELLY
1/4 c orange or peach marmalade or jam
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped fine

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pork chops until done in the butter and olive oil. Remove chops from pan and keep warm.
  • 2. Make the hot pepper jelly by heating the marmalade or jam in a pan with the chopped jalapeno and simmer, watching carefully until the jalapeno softens. If you have Chinese chili garlic sauce (very spicy) use that, about 1 tablespoonful. That is what I used and it was great, but we like really spicy food. Add the chopped peaches.
  • 3. Saute the peaches and pepper jelly until reduced and thickened. Spoon over pork chops and serve.

DEEP-FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET AND SPICY RED PEPPER JELLY



Deep-Fried Pork Chops with Sweet and Spicy Red Pepper Jelly image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup diced bell pepper (red or yellow), frozen
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup pepper vinegar
1/2 cup pineapple juice
6 red bell peppers, roasted, peeled and chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped with seeds
2 tablespoons pectin
4 thick-cut rib pork chops
1 tablespoon blackening seasoning
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups buttermilk
Canola oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the pepper jelly: Combine the sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice, roasted bell peppers and jalapeno. Blend using a food processor or immersion blender. Place the puree in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Add the pectin and continue to boil for 60 seconds, at which point add the frozen peppers to stop the cooking process. Pour the jelly into a metal container and chill in an ice bath for about 1 hour until it sets, or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • For the pork chops: Using the toothy side of a meat tenderizer, pound the pork chops to about 1/2-inch thickness. Add the blackening seasoning, salt and pepper to the flour and mix thoroughly. Dredge the chops in the seasoned flour, dip in the buttermilk and then back into the flour (using one hand to work in the flour, and the other for dipping in the buttermilk). Allow to rest for at least a minute or so to allow the breader to set up.
  • Pour the oil into a deep, heavy pot (cast iron is best), enough so that the pork chop has room to float, but there needs to be a few inches of clearance so that it doesn't overflow when you are frying. Heat the oil to 355 degrees F. Use a deep-fry thermometer to get the temperature right; too high and your food will burn on the outside before it is cooked on the inside, and too low your food will come out greasy and soggy.
  • Gently the drop pork chops, 1 or 2 at a time, into the oil; don't crowd the pot. Fry until golden brown on the outside, about 7 minutes. Serve with the pepper jelly.

PORK CHOPS IN CHERRY-PEPPER SAUCE



Pork Chops in Cherry-Pepper Sauce image

You can use this sauce - spicy and fragrant and slightly syrupy, what the Italians call agrodolce - on pork chops as I call for here, or on veal chops, on steaks, on chicken. I bet it'd be good on grilled seitan or drizzled over tofu. The recipe is reminiscent of the cooking at red-sauce emporia like Bamonte's in Brooklyn, Rao's in Manhattan, Dominick's in the Bronx and, I hope, Carbone in Greenwich Village, where I first learned how to put it together at the elbow of the chef Mario Carbone. Serve with spaghetti dressed in butter and Parmesan, with garlic bread, with a spoon so you can slurp what's left on the plate. "It's a flavor that's purely Italian-American," Carbone told me. "You won't find it in Italy, no way."

Categories     easy, meat, one pot, steaks and chops, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16-ounce) jar pickled hot cherry peppers
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup dry white wine
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 bone-in pork chops, cut about 1-inch thick (approximately 10 ounces each)
1 tablespoon neutral oil, like canola or grapeseed
2 tablespoons cold salted butter
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Drain the cherry peppers, reserving 1 cup brine, then stem, halve, core and seed them. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the olive oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the garlic, and sauté, stirring frequently, until it begins to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peppers, the reserved brine and the white wine, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the liquid has reduced by slightly more than half, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat. (The sauce can be made a few hours ahead of time.)
  • When you're ready to cook the meat, season it aggressively with salt and pepper. Place a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the neutral oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, place the meat in the pan, working in batches if needed, and sear until the meat has browned, formed something of a crust and cooked through to medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer the chops to a warmed platter.
  • Add the sauce to the large, heavy-bottomed skillet in which you seared the meat, and warm over medium-low heat. Whisk the butter into the sauce until evenly distributed and the sauce develops a velvety sheen. Spoon sauce over chops, and garnish with parsley.

PEPPERCORN PORK CHOPS WITH WARM PICKLED PEPPER RELISH



Peppercorn Pork Chops with Warm Pickled Pepper Relish image

If you are a lover of pepper in all its forms, you really must experience this dish. With 4 kinds of peppercorns producing a fairly spicy crust, these tender, moist chops topped with a sweet and sour pickled pepper sauce are perhaps the most flavorful you will ever enjoy in your life. Serve with scalloped potatoes, if desired.

Provided by Chef John

Time 1h45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon white peppercorns
1 teaspoon green peppercorns
1 teaspoon pink peppercorns
2 (8 ounce) boneless center-cut pork chops
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
⅓ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons cold butter
Quick Pickled Pepper Relish:
¼ cup diced poblano pepper
2 tablespoons diced orange bell pepper
2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
3 pinches cayenne pepper
¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar

Steps:

  • Place all peppercorns on a cutting board and use the flat bottom of a heavy pan to crush them as finely or coarsely as you like. Transfer crushed pepper into the pan.
  • Make 3 cuts through the fat on each pork chop and season generously with salt. Apply a generous coating of crushed peppercorns to both sides, pressing into the meat firmly as you do, until fully coated.
  • Transfer chops to a rack set over a pan and let sit out at room temperature for 1 hour, turning halfway through and reapplying crushed peppercorns as necessary. Or, place in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the pepper relish while the chops are dry-brining: combine poblano pepper, orange and red bell peppers, garlic, salt, cayenne, and rice vinegar. Mix to combine and cover with plastic wrap. Leave on the counter for 1 hour.
  • Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat until very hot and starting to shimmer. Add pork chops and sear for 5 minutes per side. Use tongs to turn chops while you brown the edges for another 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium if the pan is too hot and begins to smoke. Chops should firm up and spring back to the touch. Do not overcook. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
  • Turn off the heat and transfer chops to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and let rest.
  • Add chicken broth to the hot pan. Turn heat to high and bring to a rolling boil. Add pickled pepper relish and stir with a spoon, scraping all the bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until liquid in the pan reduces by about half, about 3 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat. Add cold butter and any accumulated juices from the plate of pork and stir until butter has melted.
  • Serve pork chops with plenty of hot pickled pepper relish over top.

¼ cup hot pepper jelly
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose thick-cut pork chops, at least 1 inch thick, for a juicy and flavorful result.
  • Pound the pork chops to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch, to ensure even cooking.
  • Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will enhance their natural flavor.
  • Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. This will create a flavorful crust and help seal in the juices.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the pork chops for an additional 10-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  • While the pork chops are cooking, prepare the pepper jelly sauce. Simply combine pepper jelly, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  • Once the pork chops are cooked, spoon the pepper jelly sauce over them and serve. The sauce will be slightly sweet, tangy, and spicy, and it will complement the pork chops perfectly.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with pepper jelly sauce is an easy and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are juicy and tender, and the pepper jelly sauce is the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy. Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
