Time 48m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup red currant jam
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
1 cinnamon stick
Pinch red pepper flakes
1/4 red onion, large dice
3 soft cooking apples, like a McIntosh, peeled, seeded, and diced
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Oil, as needed
4 (1-inch thick) pork rib chops, 9 to 10 ounces each, patted dry or, 8 thin bone-in pork chops, 4 ounces each
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, diced (optional)
Chutney, for serving

Steps:

  • In microwave-safe bowl stir together the jam, vinegar, butter, ginger, salt, curry powder, cinnamon stick, pepper flakes, and onion. Cover with plastic wrap and cook in the microwave oven on full power for 2 minutes. Carefully remove the cover, add the apples and cranberries, and stir to lightly coat the fruit with the flavorings. Re-cover, and microwave at full power for 10 minutes. Poke holes in the plastic wrapping and set aside for 10 minutes. Stir in the cilantro.
  • Preheat the oven 350 degrees F.
  • Heat a large oven-proof skillet over a high heat. Add the oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Lay the chops in the pan and sear until golden on 1 side, about 3 minutes. (If pan is too crowded sear the chops in batches, setting the first ones aside on a platter while searing the second batch.) Add the butter along the sides of the pan in small pieces. Sear the fatty side of each chop by holding the chop sideways with tongs, about 1 minute per chop. Turn the chops over and immediately transfer the pan to the oven. Cook the chops until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees, about 10 minutes.
  • Or for thin pork chops: Place a large oven-proof skillet over a high heat. Add the oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Season 1 side of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Lay 4 chops in the pan and sear on one side until golden, about 3 minutes. Flatten with a spatula if the edges curl up. Turn the chops over and cook an additional minute.
  • Set chop aside on a warm plate and repeat with remaining chops.
  • Transfer chops to a plate or platter and serve with chutney.
  • (If the chops have lots of juice, bring them to a boil and then swirl in the butter to make a quick pan sauce. Pour over the chops or mix in the chutney if desired.)
  • Serve 2 thin chops or 1 thick chop per person with the chutney.

This recipe is perfect for those who are looking for a way to spruce up their typical pork chop dishes or for those who want to introduce new flavors into their meals.

Ingredients

The ingredients needed to make apple chutney chops recipe include: - 4 pork chops - 2 tablespoons olive oil - Salt and pepper - 1 cup apple cider - 1/4 cup brown sugar - 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice - 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger - 2 apples, cored and chopped - 1/2 white onion, chopped - 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Instructions

To make apple chutney chops, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Prepare the pork chops
Begin by seasoning the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Step 2: Prepare the apple chutney
In the same skillet, add 1 cup of apple cider, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger. Stir the mixture until the sugar has dissolved and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next, add 2 chopped apples and 1/2 chopped onion to the skillet. Stir the mixture, cover the skillet, and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the apples and onions are softened, add 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar and stir. Continue to simmer the mixture, uncovered, for another 5-7 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
Step 3: Combine the pork chops and apple chutney
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the apple chutney sauce over them. Make sure the pork chops are evenly coated with the sauce. Cover the skillet and simmer the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, or until the pork chops are heated through.

Variations and Substitutions

There are several ways to modify this recipe to suit your preferences or dietary restrictions. Here are a few ideas: - Replace the pork chops with chicken breasts or tofu for a vegetarian option. - Use different types of apples to vary the flavor of the chutney. Honeycrisp or Fuji apples are great options. - Add some heat to the chutney by including a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeno pepper. - For a sweeter sauce, increase the brown sugar or add a bit of honey to the recipe. - Swap out the apple cider vinegar for balsamic vinegar for a tangier sauce.

Whether you are looking for a way to mix up your weeknight dinners or impress your guests at a dinner party, this recipe is an excellent choice.

Apple chutney chops are a flavorful and unique way to showcase both the sweet and savory sides of apples. The combination of succulent chops with the tangy and spicy taste of apple chutney will have your taste buds singing with delight. Creating the perfect apple chutney chops recipe requires a bit of finesse, but with careful planning and skilled execution, you can create a delectable dish that's sure to impress.

Tip #1: Choosing the Right Cut of Meat

The chops used in apple chutney chops recipes are typically pork chops, but lamb chops or even chicken can be used as a substitute. When selecting the cut of meat, choose chops with a bit of fat around the edges, as this will help keep the meat juicy and tender during cooking. The thickness of the chops can also make a difference in how they cook, so try to select chops that are close in size and thickness, so they cook evenly.

Tip #2: Preparing the Chops

Before cooking the chops, it's important to take the time to properly season them. Rub a mixture of salt, pepper, and any other desired spices on both sides of the chops. Let them sit with the seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Doing this allows the meat to absorb the flavors of the spices, resulting in a more flavorful end product.

Tip #3: Making the Chutney

The chutney is the star of this dish. It's important to make sure that the chutney is prepared perfectly, as it will be the main source of flavor in the dish. There are many variations of apple chutney, but they generally include a mixture of diced apples, spices, vinegar, sugar, and onions. When preparing the chutney, it's essential to start with a good-quality apple. Granny Smith apples are the best type of apple to use for chutney because their tart flavor holds up well against the sugar and spices used in the recipe. In addition, the apples must be diced evenly to ensure that they cook evenly in the chutney.

Tip #4: Cooking the Chops

There are many ways to cook pork chops, including grilling, baking, and frying. Choose the method that suits your preference, but make sure to cook the chops to at least a minimum internal temperature of 145°F. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chops, and it's important not to overcook them, as this can result in dry, tough meat.

Tip #5: Plating the Dish

When plating the dish, be mindful of the presentation. Arrange the chops on the plate and then spoon the chutney over the top of them. Be sure to serve the dish immediately after making it, as it will lose some of its appeal if it sits for too long.

Conclusion
