Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup grated onion
2 cups ketchup
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses or maple syrup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Four 1-inch-thick bone-in pork chops
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for brushing

Steps:

  • For the pumpkin bbq sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until tender and transluscent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the ketchup, pumpkin puree, broth, sugar, syrup, vinegar, chili powder, Worcestershire, garlic powder, smoked paprika, pumpkin pie spice, salt and pepper and whisk well to combine. Bring to a low simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let cook until thickened, 20 to 30 minutes. If it begins to look too thick, add a few tablespoons of water or broth.
  • For the pork chops: Preheat a grill or grill pan for cooking over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork chops generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Brush the chops on each side with vegetable oil and grill, 4 minutes per side. Baste the pork chops on each side with the sauce and grill an additional minute per side to allow the sauce to caramelize. Serve the chops with extra sauce.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
3 pounds winter squash (such as acorn, kabocha, delicata, or butternut), halved, seeded, cut into 1" wedges
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 1"-thick bone-in pork chops
1/2 small garlic clove, finely grated
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro plus leaves for garnish
2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread out pumpkin seeds on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toast, tossing once, until just beginning to darken, about 4 minutes. Let cool. Coarsely chop; set aside.
  • Toss squash with 1 tablespoon oil on a large rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast squash, turning occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 35-40 minutes.

  • Whisk garlic, 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, reserved toasted pumpkin seeds, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a small bowl to combine. Season vinaigrette with salt, pepper, and more lime juice, if desired.

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large pork chops
ground himalayan sea salt, to taste and divided
freshly ground black pepper, to taste and divided (i always use mixed peppercorns)
1 Tbsp garlic infused oil (substitute canola oil)
1 Tbsp clarified butter
1/2 c red onions, finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, pressed
1 c low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 c pumpkin purée
1/2 Tbsp sriracha sauce
1/2 Tbsp herbes de provence
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/4 c 35% heavy cream

Steps:

  • 1. Season the pork chops generously on one side with salt and freshly ground black pepper; set aside.
  • 2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add garlic infused oil and when hot, place chops with seasoned side down; season the top side with salt and pepper. Cook until brown and then place them on a baking sheet. Transfer the pork chops to a 200ºF preheated oven to keep them warm while making the sauce.
  • 3. Return the skillet on medium heat and add clarified butter. When hot, add onions and sauté for 1 minute. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth and then pumpkin purée; stir to combine.
  • 4. Reduce heat to medium-low and add sriracha, Herbes de Provence, pumpkin pie spice, ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper; stir and cook for 2 minutes. Add brown sugar and heavy cream; stir and bring the mixture back to a simmer, about 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: For this recipe, bone-in pork chops are best. They have more flavor and will stay juicier during cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the pork chops, be sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can brown evenly. Otherwise, they will steam instead of sear.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The pumpkin sauce in this recipe is a great way to add flavor to the pork chops. You can also use other sauces, such as apple sauce, cranberry sauce, or barbecue sauce.
  • Cook the pork chops to the right temperature: Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: After cooking, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to become more tender.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the pumpkin sauce is flavorful and creamy. Serve the pork chops with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
