Categories     main-dish

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.

Tips for making Apple Chutney Pork Chops Recipes

Pork chops are an excellent choice for a quick and easy meal, but when you add the sweetness and tanginess of apple chutney, it takes the dish to a whole new level. Here are some valuable tips if you are planning to make apple chutney pork chops.
1. Choose the right pork chops
When it comes to pork chops, not all chops are created equal. For this recipe, it's better to use bone-in pork chops as they retain more moisture and flavor during cooking. Make sure to choose chops that are of good quality and have some marbling to prevent them from becoming dry and tough.
2. Season the pork chops properly
To get the most flavor out of your pork chops, make sure to season them well with salt and pepper on both sides. You can also add some garlic powder, paprika, or other spices, depending on your preference. Let the pork chops rest at room temperature while you prepare the apple chutney.
3. Sear the pork chops before baking
Searing the pork chops in a hot skillet before transferring them to the oven not only adds flavor but also helps to lock in moisture. Heat some oil in a skillet and cook the pork chops for two to three minutes on each side until they are browned.
4. Prepare the apple chutney in advance
Apple chutney is easy to make and can be prepared in advance. It's a great way to use up apples that are not quite ripe or have a few bruises. Take the time to make the chutney in advance so that it has time to cool down and thicken.
5. Use the right apples for the chutney
Using the right apples is crucial for making the perfect apple chutney. Choose apples that are firm and slightly tart, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. These apples hold their shape during cooking and have a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.
6. Add spices and herbs to the chutney
To enhance the flavor of your apple chutney, add some spices and herbs such as cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, or thyme. These ingredients complement the sweetness of the apples and add depth to the dish.
7. Be mindful of the consistency of the chutney
The consistency of the apple chutney is crucial for the dish. You want the chutney to be thick enough to coat the pork chops but not too thick that it becomes a paste. Cook the chutney over low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens.
8. Add a sweetener if needed
Depending on the sweetness of the apples, you may need to add a sweetener such as brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup to the chutney to balance out the acidity. Start with a small amount and adjust to your liking.
9. Bake the pork chops in the oven
Transfer the seared pork chops to a baking dish and spoon the apple chutney over them. Bake the pork chops in the oven at 375°F for about 20-25 minutes until they are cooked through, and the chutney is caramelized.
10. Let the pork chops rest before serving
After baking, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve with some extra chutney on top and enjoy! In conclusion, by selecting the correct pork chops, seasoning them accurately, searing before baking, and preparing apple chutney in advance with the appropriate ingredients, apple chutney pork chops recipes can be a delight for your taste buds.
