PAN-SEARED PORK CHOPS WITH SAGE, DATES AND PARSNIPS



Pan-Seared Pork Chops With Sage, Dates and Parsnips image

This easy dish combines sage, brown butter and dates for a blast of sweet-salty flavor. Brining the pork chops in advance ensures tenderness: You can allow them to sit in the thyme-infused brine overnight, but even two hours of marinating will improve the taste and texture of the chops. This recipe calls for parsnips, but sweet potato or roasted squash would also work well. (And if you can't find medjool dates, pitted prunes are a worthy stand-in.)

Provided by David Tanis

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), plus more for boiling
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large thyme sprig
4 bone-in pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick (about 2 pounds)
2 pounds parsnips, peeled and cut into 3-inch sticks
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons salted butter
12 large sage leaves
12 pitted medjool dates, halved
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 lemon, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Brine the chops: Put salt and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk in 4 cups water to dissolve. Add thyme sprig and pork chops. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. When ready to cook, remove chops from brine and pat dry. Discard brine.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put a large pot of well-salted water over high heat. When it boils, add parsnips and bring to a brisk simmer. Cook until parsnips are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain parsnips and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, set a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. When oil is wavy, sear chops until nicely browned, about 3 minutes per side. (Work in batches if you don't have a large skillet.)
  • Transfer chops to a roasting pan or sheet pan in one layer. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until meat is 140 degrees when probed with an instant-read thermometer. Remove from oven and let rest while you make the sauce.
  • Wipe out the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Add butter and let it begin to brown. Add sage leaves and dates, and let sizzle for about a minute. Add pepper and lemon juice, and pull off heat. Taste, and add more pepper or lemon to taste.
  • To serve, place chops and a spoonful of parsnips on warm plates. Spoon butter mixture over chops and parsnips.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless pork loin chops (6 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium shallot, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage or 1/4 teaspoon dried
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Season pork generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium; add pork. Cook until browned and opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • Make sauce: Add shallot to skillet; cook over medium, stirring until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add sage, thyme, and wine. Simmer until sauce is reduced to about 1/3 cup, 2 to 3 minutes; stir in any accumulated juices from plate with meat. Transfer chops to plates, drizzle with sauce, and serve with Parmesan Rice.

Tips:

  • Tenderizing Pork Chops: For extra tender pork chops, consider using a meat mallet or a fork to tenderize them before cooking. This will help break down the fibers and result in a more tender and juicy chop.
  • Seasoning the Pork Chops: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings for your pork chops. In addition to salt and pepper, try using garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, or chili powder. You could also create a marinade using olive oil, herbs, and spices, then let the pork chops soak in it for several hours or overnight before cooking.
  • Cooking the Pork Chops: When cooking the pork chops, make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the chops. This will help sear the outside of the chops and prevent them from sticking. Additionally, cook the pork chops over medium heat to ensure that they cook evenly throughout without burning.
  • Making the Cheddar Cheese Grits: To achieve a creamy and flavorful cheddar cheese grits, use high-quality cheddar cheese. Grating your own cheese is recommended as it melts better than pre-shredded cheese. Additionally, use chicken broth or milk instead of water for a richer flavor.
  • Serving the Dish: When serving the sage pork chops with cheddar cheese grits, consider garnishing the dish with fresh herbs such as parsley or chives. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the plate.
