BASIC PAPRIKA PORK CHOPS



Basic Paprika Pork Chops image

A bit of paprika gives pork chops a real kick of flavor with almost no effort. It's the perfect dish for easy weeknight cooking.

Provided by Molly Watson

Categories     Entree     Dinner

Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pork chops
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil

Steps:

  • Pat the pork chops thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  • In a small bowl combine the paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Sprinkle both sides of all the pork chops evenly with the spice mixture. Set aside the chops while you prepare the pan.
  • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the surface of the pan is hot, add the oil and heat until the oil shimmers. Add the pork chops-they should make a bright sizzling sound immediately upon touching the pan; if they don't, take them out and let the pan and oil get a bit hotter. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the chops, undisturbed, until they're well browned and they release from the pan of their own accord, about 4 minutes. Turn and repeat on the other side.
  • Remove the chops from pan and let sit, covered loosely with foil, for about 10 minutes. Serve hot.

Tender cubes of pork tenderloin make this satisfying Hungarian-style dish easy enough to make on a weeknight. Two kinds of paprika-sweet and smoked-gives the sauce extra depth of flavor, while a bit of cayenne lends a subtle kick of heat. Make this a meal by serving it over egg noodles or pappardelle, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons canola oil
One 1 1/2-pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
One 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
8 ounces egg noodles or pappardelle
1/4 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
Dill sprigs, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • In a large deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil until shimmering. Add half of the pork and season with salt and pepper. Cook over high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned but not cooked through, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining pork.
  • Spoon off the fat from the skillet or Dutch oven, then melt the butter in the remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Add the onion, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in both paprikas and the cayenne, then stir in the flour and cook until fragrant and the mixture starts to stick to the bottom, about 1 minute.
  • Gradually stir or whisk in the broth and tomatoes until incorporated. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, add the noodles or pappardelle to the boiling water and cook as the label directs; drain.
  • Nestle the pork in the sauce and cook, stirring gently, until the pork is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the 1/4 cup of sour cream. Serve over the cooked noodles or pappardelle, topped with sour cream and dill sprigs.

Grilled Pork Chops with Smoked Paprika Rub image

A lot of purchased barbecue sauces are really high in sugar. If you need to watch the amount of sugar in your diet, try grilling pork chops with this flavorful rub, instead. The rub goes on in advance so the flavors can penetrate the chops.

Provided by Bibi

Categories     BBQ & Grilled Pork Chops

Time 8h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 (5 ounce) boneless pork loin chops, cut 1-inch thick
avocado cooking oil spray
1 ½ tablespoons smoked paprika
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine smoked paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic, and cayenne in a small bowl.
  • Pat chops dry with a paper towel and evenly distribute dry ingredient mixture on front and back of each chop. With fingertips, lightly rub dry ingredient mixture into the chops on both sides.
  • Place chops on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
  • Remove rubbed chops from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • While chops are getting to room temperature, clean the grate of an outdoor gas grill and preheat to medium heat.
  • When the grill is ready, lightly spray chops with avocado oil spray.
  • Lightly oil the grill grates, place chops on the grill, and cook for about 3 minutes. Rotate chops 90 degrees to create a criss-cross grill pattern and continue grilling for 3 minutes. Turn chops and grill until pork chops are no longer pink inside, about 4 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Remove to a serving platter and allow to rest under a foil tent, for about 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right cut of pork: opt for a fatty cut like pork shoulder or pork butt, as these will remain tender and juicy during the long cooking process.
  • Spice blend: the combination of smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, and chili powder creates a flavorful and aromatic spice rub.
  • Marinating the pork: marinating the pork in the spice blend for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and results in a more flavorful dish.
  • Slow and low cooking: cooking the pork at a low temperature for an extended period helps break down the connective tissue and results in fall-apart tender meat.
  • Adding liquid to the slow cooker: adding a cup of water, broth, or beer to the slow cooker prevents the pork from drying out and also helps create a flavorful sauce.
  • Cooking time: the cooking time will vary depending on the size and cut of the pork, but generally speaking, it will take 8-10 hours on low or 4-6 hours on high.
  • Serving suggestions: serve the smoky paprika pork with rice, potatoes, or your favorite sides. You can also shred the pork and use it in tacos, burritos, or sandwiches.

Conclusion:

This smoky paprika pork recipe is an easy and delicious way to prepare tender and flavorful pork in your slow cooker. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal preparation, you can have a satisfying and comforting meal that is perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. The combination of smoky paprika, cumin, oregano, and chili powder creates a vibrant and aromatic spice rub that perfectly complements the juicy and fall-apart tender pork.
