MY MOORISH PORK CHOPS



My Moorish Pork Chops image

When the Moors invaded Spain they brought grapes and dried fruits with them. Their love of mixing dried fruits with meats definitely left its mark on Spanish cooking and this is my nod to that time in Spain's history. Cut into these big tender chops and you'll get sweet juicy flavours inside perfectly cooked meat. Go to a good butcher and ask for chops that are 2.5cm thick, ideally with two different colours of meat on them: the sweet darker meat, and the leaner eye meat. Then head to any good food store for the jarred beans. Spanish beans are like the Bentley of beans, so although they cost a bit more than the tinned ones they make all the difference.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

A few sprigs fresh oregano or marjoram, leaves picked
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
A small handful raisins
Good quality dry sherry
Spanish extra-virgin olive oil
4 large, thick pork chops (approximately 12 ounces/350 g each), bone in, the best quality
Trimmed fat from a few slices of pata negra (cured ham), and some pata negra offcuts (or 2 rashers smoked streaky bacon, roughly chopped, or pancetta)
Olive oil
1 red onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 large red pepper, deseeded and roughly chopped
A few sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves picked
A few fresh bay leaves
1 (19-ounce/540 g) jar white beans or butter beans, drained
14 ounces/400 g Swiss chard, stalks trimmed, or spinach leaves

Steps:

  • To make the chops: Pound most of your oregano leaves with a small pinch of salt and pepper in a pestle and mortar. Roughly chop the raisins, then add them to the pestle and mortar with a splash or 2 of sherry and a splash of extra-virgin olive oil. Muddle everything together to make a paste, then put to one side for a minute. Lay each pork chop in front of you so the side with the fat is farthest away. Carefully insert a knife into the side nearest you and move it around to make a pocket inside. Use your fingers to fill each pocket with the raisin paste. Cook's Note: To see what I mean, go to www.jamieoliver.com/how-to.
  • To make the beans: Fry the strips of fat from your pata negra or bacon in a medium pan on a high heat for a few minutes, then add the offcuts (or bacon) and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir in the chopped onion and pepper, then turn the heat down and cook for about 5 more minutes, or until the vegetables have softened. Roughly chop your rosemary leaves and add those to the pan along with your bay leaves. Add the beans to the pan with 1 1/2 cups/350 ml water. Stir, then leave to tick away for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the beans and add a splash more water if they look dry. Get a barbecue or griddle pan really hot. Rub some olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper all over the pork chops. Put them on the very hot side of your barbecue and sear them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side to get some good colour going, then move them to the gentler side of the barbecue so they can cook slowly. If you're using a griddle pan, turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for a further 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop the stalks of the Swiss chard and add them to the pan with the beans. Roughly chop the leaves and add them to the pan for the last minute or 2 of cooking so as not to lose the flavour. Taste the beans and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few more minutes if you want to achieve a thicker consistency. Divide the beans evenly among 4 plates and lay a pork chop over each. Sprinkle over the reserved oregano leaves, finish with a drizzle of olive oil and serve.

JAMIE'S PORK CHOPS WITH ORZO



Jamie's Pork Chops with Orzo image

This is one of those meals just wanted something different so I looked around the cabinet to see what I could make with the same old porkchops. I came up with this and it gives a very good taste with the orzo. A thick creamy sauce dresses it up with a kick of spice. Add a side of green beans or green peas and a southern style...

  • 5. Add the 2 cups of orzo to the pan and stir good and stay with it stirring so the orzo doesn't stick. It takes about 9 to 10 minutes for the orzo to become tender and done.
  • 6. in a bowl mix the flower and cream together till smooth. Add some of the hot juice from the pan to the mixture and stir so want lump in the pan.
  • 7. Slowly add the mixture to the pan stirring constantly to mix into the pan and making sure it is smooth not lumpy. At this point just mix and stir until thicken making sure the orzo does not stick to the bottom and burn.
