PECAN-CRUSTED PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES



Pecan-Crusted Pork Chops with Apples image

"Pork chops are surprisingly lean and lend themselves brilliantly to pecans and apples. In fact, the combination of the browned pork chops and the toasted pecans is the real winner here. It's a simple combination where the richness of the toasted pecans teams up with the wonderful flavors of the cooked pork chops. The lemon zest in the nut crust and the apples add a burst of freshness to the dish." -Alex Guarnaschelli

MUSTARD-CRUSTED PORK CHOPS WITH ROASTED APPLES AND ONIONS



Mustard-Crusted Pork Chops with Roasted Apples and Onions image

I love a thick cut pork chop and find that giving it a good long sear before flipping it and packing on a buttery flavorful crust makes for a warming weeknight dinner. The apples and onions are a classic pair and roast away while you focus on getting you chops browned and cooked to juicy perfection.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 Gala apples, cored and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
5 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
4 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Four 1- to 1 1/4-inch-thick bone-in pork rib chops (about 12 ounces each)
1 bunch rainbow Swiss chard, stems cut into 1/2-inch pieces, leaves cut into 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Position oven racks in the upper and lower third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Toss the apples and onion in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast on the lower oven rack until tender and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss together the panko, butter, whole-grain mustard, Dijon, thyme and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until well combined (the breadcrumbs should hold together when squeezed). Season the pork chops generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until shimmering and very hot. Add the pork chops and cook, undisturbed, until well browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the chops, then press some of the mustard-panko mixture onto the top of each chop. Transfer the saute pan to the upper rack of the oven and roast until the panko is browned and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes more.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in another large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the Swiss chard stems, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add the chard leaves and chicken broth and continue to cook, stirring, until the chard is wilted and the broth has almost completely evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Stir in the vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the pork chops, apples and chard among 4 dinner plates. Spoon any pan juices from the chard over the vegetables and serve warm.

Almond Crusted Pork Chops with Apples: Tips for a Perfect Meal

If you are looking for a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make, then you may want to try almond-crusted pork chops with apples. This dish is a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors, and it is ideal for special occasions or family dinners. To help you create a perfectly cooked almond-crusted pork chops with apples, here are some valuable tips that you can follow:
1. Choose the Right Pork Chops
Before you start cooking, make sure that you select the right pork chops for the recipe. Ideally, you should choose thick cut pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will ensure that your pork chops are juicy, tender, and flavorful.
2. Brine Pork Chops
Brining your pork chops is one of the best ways to infuse them with flavor and keep them moist while cooking. A simple saltwater brine will do the trick. To make a brine, mix 4 cups of water with 1/4 cup kosher salt, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and any additional seasonings you prefer (such as garlic, herbs, or spices). Place your pork chops in a large ziplock bag or container, and pour the brine over them. Seal the container or bag and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or overnight.
3. Use High-Quality Almonds
Choosing high-quality almonds will make a huge difference in the overall taste and texture of your almond-crusted pork chops. Look for almonds that are fresh, fragrant and have a natural, sweet taste. Avoid almonds that are stale, rancid, or have a bitter taste.
4. Use Panko Breadcrumbs
Using panko breadcrumbs is an excellent way to achieve a crispy, crunchy crust on your pork chops. Panko breadcrumbs are Japanese breadcrumbs that are light and airy, making them perfect for coating meat. They absorb less oil than traditional breadcrumbs, resulting in a lighter, less greasy dish.
5. Toast the Almonds and Panko
Toasting the almonds and panko will enhance their flavors and give them a deeper, nuttier taste. Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake them in the oven at 350°F for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Let them cool before using them to coat your pork chops.
6. Use a Skillet or Cast Iron Pan
Using a skillet or a cast iron pan to cook your pork chops will give them a beautiful sear and help them cook more evenly. Make sure to heat the pan over medium-high heat before adding the pork chops. Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops, and cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
7. Don't Overcook the Pork Chops
Overcooking your pork chops can dry them out and ruin their texture. Be sure to monitor their temperature carefully to avoid this. Avoid cutting into the pork chops while they are still cooking, as this can release their juices and make them dry out faster.
8. Serve with a Delicious Apple Sauce
A tasty apple sauce is the perfect complement to the almond-crusted pork chops. You can make a simple apple sauce by combining apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of lemon juice in a saucepan, and cooking them over medium heat until the apples are soft.
9. Garnish with Fresh Herbs or Lemon Zest
Garnishing your dish with fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary, or a sprinkle of lemon zest can add a burst of freshness and flavor to your meal. This will give your dish a beautiful presentation and make it more appetizing.

Conclusion

Making almond-crusted pork chops with apples is a great way to impress your guests or simply enjoy a delicious and healthy meal at home. By following these tips, you can create a perfectly cooked and flavorful dish that your family and friends will love. Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients or garnishes to make the recipe your own.
