PEPPER PORK CHOPS
Alton Brown brines his pepper pork chops for a best-of-both-worlds result: juicy meat with plenty of flavor. He adds a pound of ice to quick-cool the brine so the pork doesn't have to wait around any longer than necessary.

Steps:
- Combine the vegetable broth, 1/2 cup kosher salt, brown sugar and peppercorns in a medium saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Cook just until the salt and sugar dissolve, and then remove from the heat and add the ice. Place the pork chops into a 2-gallon zip-top bag along with the brine and seal. Place in a plastic container and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove the chops from the brine, rinse and pat dry. Sprinkle on both sides with the remaining 2 teaspoons kosher salt and set aside.
- Place the apples in a 5 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker.
- Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 12-inch stainless steel saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute the pork chops on both sides until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Once browned, place the pork chops into the slow cooker atop the apples. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to the pan, followed by the onions, and saute until they begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth to the pan to deglaze. Add the black pepper and thyme and stir to combine. Transfer this to the slow cooker, set to high, cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Decrease the heat to low and continue cooking until the pork is tender and falling away from the bone, another 4 hours and 30 minutes.

Steps:
- 1. Line pan with foil. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. No need to turn the chops. Cooking time is 12-15 minutes depending on size of the pork chop. Cook to 145 to 150 degrees with an instant read thermometer. Lightly tent with foil for five minutes before serving. The time listed is for a medium size pork chop.
- 2. Choose centercut, and bone in pork chops one inch thick. The chops should be at room temperature. (Cold meat lengthens cooking time.)
- 3. Cut into the fat with a sharp knife at the sides of the chop so it won't curl up as it cooks. Avoid cutting into the meat.
- 4. MAKING THE RUB INGREDIENTS: 1 tablespoon chili powder 1tablespoon garlic powder 1/2 tablespoon dried onions ground to powder 1 tablespoon salt 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon perfect pinch steak or Montreal seasoning 1 tablespoon paprika Combine all ingredients and mix well.

Steps:
- 1. THIS IS EASY AND FAST! Wash your chops, make sure they are all about the same thickness. Mine in the photo are about 1/2 inch thick. Blot your chops dry. Liberally sprinkle the pepper seasoning on both sides of the chops. (don't salt)
- 2. Heat coconut oil in a grill pan on medium high heat. (Coconut oil is tasty and healthier than olive oil) Place the seasoned chops in the pan, and fry to a golden brown on both sides. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Dust the pork chops on both sides with the flour; season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until golden brown, 4 minutes. Flip; cook until lightly golden on the other side, 2 more minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium high; heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Add the bell peppers, onion, chopped garlic, pepperoncini, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 10 minutes. Stir in the pepperoncini brine and chicken broth. Return the pork to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium low; cook, flipping the pork halfway through, until cooked through and the liquid is reduced, 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Combine the butter, grated garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt; spread on the bread. Transfer to a baking sheet and broil until toasted, 1 minute. Slice the bread and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with the pork chops and vegetables.
