Categories     main-dish

Time 2h28m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
6 ounces molasses, by weight (about 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the coffee, molasses, vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the ginger, thyme and pork chops in a 1-gallon zip-top bag; seal and shake to combine. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon ground mustard
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 pound ice cubes
4 double-thick, bone-in loin pork chops (1- to 1 1/2-inches thick; about 12 ounces each)
1 1/2 cups cornbread crumbs
1/4 cup walnuts
1/4 cup dried cherries
2 tablespoons golden raisins
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh sage
1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
Vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place 1 cup of the salt, the brown sugar, peppercorns, mustard and vinegar in a 6-quart container and stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the ice cubes and stir to melt most of the ice. Add the chops and make sure they are submerged in the brine. Cover and refrigerate 25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F with the oven rack in the center of the oven.
  • Remove the chops from the brine, rinse and pat dry. Holding a knife parallel to the cutting board, cut a deep 2-inch-wide pocket into the side of each pork chop.
  • Combine the cornbread, walnuts, dried cherries, raisins, pepper, sage, 2 teaspoons salt and the buttermilk in a mixing bowl. Place about 1/4 cup of the stuffing into the pocket of each chop. Brush both sides of each chop with the oil.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet until smoking hot, about 600 degrees F. Add the chops to the pan and cook until well seared, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and cook about 12 minutes more or until the internal temperature of the chops reaches 140 degrees F for medium. Be sure to temp the chops in the thickest part of the meat close to the bone, not in the stuffing. Let the chops rest 5 minutes before serving.
