SAUCY SALSA BAKED PORK CHOPS - WITH A TWIST !



Saucy Salsa Baked Pork Chops - With a Twist ! image

Tender, juicy and a bit sweet and spicy ! I looked for a recipe here that would incorporate what I had on hand for my pork chops but couldn't find one. So I came up with this! I made this in about 50 minutes (including prep time) so it was as fast as it was tasty ! The marmalade is a bit different but it really did add a nice sweetness to offset the spicy salsa. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did !

SKILLET PORK CHOPS WITH SALSA VERDE



Skillet Pork Chops with Salsa Verde image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Four 12- to 14-ounce bone-in pork loin chops, about 1 inch thick
Extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking
2 cups loosely packed fresh Italian parsley leaves
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1 tablespoon lemon juice plus 1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne, or to taste
3 scallions, coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed and peeled
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • For the pork chops: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Combine the paprika, salt, sugar and pepper in a small bowl. Rub all over the surface of the chops and let the chops rest on a rack while you make the salsa verde.
  • For the salsa verde: Combine the parsley, capers, lemon juice, zest, mustard, salt, cayenne, scallions and garlic in a blender. Pulse to make a coarse paste. With the blender running on high, add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream to make a thick, smooth sauce. With the blender running on low, add up to 2 tablespoons water to thin the sauce so it has a drizzle consistency.
  • For the pork chops: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then coat with some olive oil. Add the chops to the skillet and sear until the underside is well browned, about 4 minutes. If the sides of the chops have a thick layer of fat, turn them briefly on their sides to sear the fat, about 30 seconds. Flip the chops raw-side down and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until the chops are just cooked through and reach 140 to 145 degrees F in the center as measured on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve drizzled with the salsa verde.

EASIEST BAKED PORK CHOPS WITH SAUCE



Easiest Baked Pork Chops With Sauce image

Throw in the oven and bake with ingredients you already have on hand. Great way to use those cheap pork chops you found on sale. Fantastic economical meal which Mom made often when I was a kid. Don't make this without the peas, or by using a substitute like green beans. It just won't work. My sister's family hates peas so they just pick them out. Serve over mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

cooking spray
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 boneless pork chops
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cups water
1 ½ cups uncooked long-grain white rice
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
½ cup picante sauce
¼ cup taco seasoning mix
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

Tips:

  • Feel free to adjust the amount of salsa you use depending on your desired level of spiciness.
  • For a thicker sauce, simmer the salsa and cornstarch mixture for a few minutes longer.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
