Best Peppered Pork With Apple Slaw Recipes

PEPPER PORK CHOPS WITH HONEY APPLE GINGER SLAW

Steps:

• 1. Put the garlic, sugar, soy sauce, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a large self-sealing plastic bag, seal, and shake. Add the pork chops and rub them, through the bag, to work the spices into the meat. Marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• 2. Julienne the apple, leaving the skin on. Toss the apples with the cabbage, lime zest and juice, and ginger together in a medium bowl. Drizzle in the honey and sesame oil and toss again. Season with salt and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
• 3. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add half the chops, shaking off excess marinade, and cook, turning once, until just cooked through, about 6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining oil and chops, wiping the skillet clean between batches.

SAGE RUBBED PORK CHOPS WITH WARM APPLE SLAW

Steps:

• Combine the 3 teaspoons of the fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork chops and let the chops sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion, apple and cabbage and julienne the carrots (very thin sticks).
• Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick frying pan until hot but not smoking. Add the chops and brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove.
• Carefully wipe out the pan. Heat the remaining teaspoon oil over moderate heat and add the onion, apples and remaining teaspoon fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is soft and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cabbage, carrots, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt and continue cooking until the cabbage and carrots begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and return the pork chops to the pan burying them in the vegetable mixture. Cover and cook just until the pork chops are just slightly blush in the center, 5 to 7 minutes longer.
• To serve, arrange the warm slaw on individual plates and top with a pork chop and pan juices.

STICKY PORK AND APPLE SLAW

Steps:

• For the sticky pork: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the pork butt with salt and pepper. Add the pork to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes each side, 15 to 20 minutes total. Remove the pork to a plate and set aside. Leave any rendered fat in the pot and place it back on the stovetop.
• Add the garlic and onions to the pot and cook until the onions have softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the apple juice, deglazing the bottom of the pot. Scrape all the browned bits from the bottom. Add the applesauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and vinegar and stir together. Carefully return the pork to the pot and cover. Transfer the pot to the oven and braise until the pork is very tender, about 3 hours.
• For the apple saw: Meanwhile toss the cabbage, carrots, green onions and apples in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, parsley, mustard, honey, vinegar and salt in a small bowl until well combined. Add the dressing to the apple mixture and toss until well coated.
• When the pork is ready, carefully remove the lid and serve straight from the pot. Use a fork and a knife to slice and serve with the braising liquid and the slaw alongside.

SMOKED PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH WITH APPLE SLAW AND APRICOT HABANERO AIOLI

Steps:

• Whisk the salt and sugar into 2 quarts cold water until dissolved. Place the pork into a plastic zipper-topped bag, then pour in the brine. Leave in the fridge 8 hours or overnight.
• Prepare a smoker for cooking at 225 degrees F. Take the pork out of the brine and pat dry. Coat entirely in mustard sauce. Smoke the pork, basting with more mustard sauce every 20 minutes, until the internal temperature registers 150 degrees F, about 2 1/2 hours. Let rest 20 minutes. Slice very thinly into 1/8-inch medallions.
• On the bottom buns, place the Apple Slaw, the sliced pork ribboned high, then the Pickled Red Onions. Schmear the Apricot Habanero Aioli on the top buns. Close and cut! Serve with spicy pickles.
• Whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, Dijon, brown sugar, sesame oil, celery seed and some salt and pepper. Add in the apples, red peppers and chives. Season if necessary and let sit for at least 1 hour.
• Simmer the vinegar with the sugar, salt and 1/2 cup water until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Add in the onions and let sit 8 hours or overnight.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, apricot habanero sauce, garlic and some salt and pepper.

BREADED PORK CHOPS WITH WARM APPLE-CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Adjust oven racks to the top- and lower-third positions and preheat to 425 degrees F. Put a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.
• Toss the cabbage, apples, 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, olive oil, 2 teaspoons of the brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper together on another baking sheet. Roast on the top rack until the cabbage and apples are golden in spots and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and toss with dill, if using.
• Meanwhile, lay the pork chops between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound until about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Combine 1 tablespoon of the sour cream and 1 teaspoon of the mustard in a small bowl and brush both sides of each chop with the mixture.
• Pour the panko crumbs out onto a plate and press each side of the pork chops into the crumbs. Generously spray both sides of each chop with cooking spray and place on the rack on the prepared baking sheet. Bake on the lower rack until the pork chops are golden, crispy and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons of sour cream, 2 teaspoons water and the remaining 1 teaspoon each mustard, brown sugar and vinegar. Divide the pork chops and apple slaw among four plates; drizzle the chops with some of the sauce.

MUSTARD-CRUSTED PORK LOIN WITH APPLE-CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Pat pork dry and season well with salt and pepper. In a bowl, whisk mustard and olive oil together. Using your hands, rub mixture all over pork tenderloin. Let meat sit until it comes to room temperature, at least 20 to 30 minutes.
• Place pork on a wire rack on a rimmed 36 x 18-inch baking sheet lined with foil. Place in the oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F and cook for another 10 minutes or until meat reaches an internal temperature of 145°F on a meat thermometer. Remove from oven, set aside, and cover with aluminum foil.
• In a skillet, heat butter, vinegar, and sugar over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Then turn up the heat to medium-high, add the cabbage and apple, and cook until the cabbage has wilted somewhat, about 10 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley.
• Remove foil from pork and slice.
• Spread cabbage on a platter, top with pork slices, and serve.

SAGE-RUBBED PORK CHOPS WITH WARM APPLE SLAW

Steps:

• Chops: combine the sage, garlic, salt and a few grinds of fresh black pepper in a small bowl. Rub all over the chops and let them stand at room temperature for ten minutes.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chops and brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Slaw: Wipe out the frying pan, add fresh oil and heat over medium heat.
• Add the onion, apple and sage and cook, stirring a few times, until softened and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the cabbage, carrot, vinegar and salt and continue cooking until the veggies start to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the broth to the pan, then return the chops, burying them in the vegetables.
• Cover and cook just until the chops have a slight blush in the center - loin is lean and should not be overcooked - about 5 to 7 minutes longer.
• To serve: arrange the warm slaw on plates, and top with a pork chop and pan juices.
