SKILLET PORK CHOPS WITH RHUBARB SAUCE



Skillet Pork Chops with Rhubarb Sauce image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 shallot, thinly sliced
1-inch piece ginger, grated (about 1 tablespoon)
Zest and juice of 1 orange
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large stalks fresh rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch chunks (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Four 1/2-inch-thick bone-in pork rib chops (about 2 pounds), patted dry
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

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.

ROAST PORK WITH SPICED RHUBARB



Roast Pork With Spiced Rhubarb image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, weekday, roasts, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small boneless pork loin roast, about 2 1/2 pounds
4 cloves garlic, peeled and slivered
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 cup brewed black tea, not too strong
1 1/2 pounds rhubarb, diced
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup honey or to taste
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make small slits in the pork and insert slivers of garlic in the slits. Put an oven-proof casserole large enough to hold the pork roast over medium heat. When it is hot, put the pork in it and lightly brown the pork on all sides. Remove the roast from the casserole.
  • Add the onion and ginger to the casserole and brown them lightly. Stir in one-half cup of the tea, scraping the bottom of the pan, then stir in the rhubarb, cardamom, pepper, cloves and honey. Season with a little salt.
  • Return the pork to the casserole, cover and bake until the pork is medium-well done, with just a trace of pink in the center, about 45 minutes. It should register about 155 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.
  • Remove the pork from the pan. It should rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. Put the pan on top of the stove and gently heat the rhubarb mixture. Taste for seasoning, adding salt to taste and a little more honey, if desired. If the rhubarb is not moist enough, stir in some additional tea.
  • To serve, mound rhubarb in center of a platter. Slice pork and arrange slices, slightly overlapping, around the rhubarb. Serve at once.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 boneless pork loin chops (1-inch-thick)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 teaspoons olive oil
2 shallots, halved and thinly sliced
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon finely chopped thyme leaves
1 cup red wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 large stalks rhubarb, diced in 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup Brown Chicken Stock
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Pat pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; add pork chops and cook, turning once, until nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to oven and roast until just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer pork chops to a plate and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a medium skillet. Add shallots, garlic, ginger, and thyme and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add wine and cook until reduced by half; add balsamic, maple syrup, chicken stock, and rhubarb. Cook until rhubarb has softened, 7 to 8 minutes. Add butter and swirl until melted and well combined; season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide pork chops evenly between 4 plates and top with compote; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose thick pork chops for this recipe, as they will hold up better to the cooking process.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to tenderize the pork chops.
  • Be sure to brown the pork chops well before adding the other ingredients. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the pork from becoming dry.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large skillet or braising pan.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This spiced rhubarb pork chops recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and flavorful, and the rhubarb sauce is tangy and sweet. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
