PORK CHOPS WITH RHUBARB
A surprising rhubarb sauce makes these tender chops extra special. I like it on the tangy side, but you can always add more honey to sweeten up the fruity sauce a bit if it's too puckery for your family. -Bonnie Bufford, Nicholson, Pennsylvania

SKILLET PORK CHOPS WITH RHUBARB SAUCE
Every summer I look forward to cooking with the rhubarb that grows like wild where my family lives in Minnesota. We usually bake it into a dessert crumble, but I love this super-citrusy, savory use of it in a sauce for quick pan-seared pork chops.

Steps:
- Combine the shallot, ginger, orange zest and juice, lemon zest and juice, brown sugar, vinegar, paprika, crushed red pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the rhubarb and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down and the sauce thickens, 8 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, score 1/2-inch-deep slits with a paring knife 1 inch apart around the fatty side of the pork chops. Season both sides of the pork chops with 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil the very hot and shimmering, carefully add the pork chops. Sear the chops until golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook the other side until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the chops near but not touching bone reads 140 degrees F, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Serve the pork chops topped with the rhubarb sauce and mint.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar will help to tenderize them and keep them moist. You can brine the pork chops for up to 24 hours, but even a few hours will make a difference.
- Sear the pork chops: Searing the pork chops over high heat will create a beautiful crust and lock in the juices. Be sure to sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are browned.
- Finish cooking the pork chops in the oven: After searing the pork chops, transfer them to a baking dish and finish cooking them in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- Make sure the rhubarb grains are cooked through: Rhubarb grains should be cooked until they are soft and tender. You can cook them in a saucepan over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- Serve the pork chops with the rhubarb grains: Once the pork chops and rhubarb grains are cooked, serve them together. You can also garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
Pork chops with rhubarb grains is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the rhubarb grains are sweet and tart. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
