PORK CHOPS AND ZUCCHINI A LA PEG BRACKEN



Pork Chops and Zucchini a La Peg Bracken image

Family Circle published this Peg Bracken recipe years after she wrote her "I Hate to Cook" books. I've altered the cooking times slightly, but nothing else. My vegetable-averse son avoided the zucchini, but loved the chops; my daughter used to call before she came home from college for a weekend, to ask if I would make this for dinner. Heck, it even wrung a compliment out of my father-in-law. We like it served with rice (a nice "sponge" for the vegetables and cooking liquid.)

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 -6 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, doesn't matter)
2 -3 zucchini
2 medium onions (I prefer plain old yellow onions for this recipe)
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dill weed

Steps:

  • Combine the pork chop breading ingredients - flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, dill weed and pepper -in a plastic or small paper bag. Shake the pork chops in the mixture and SAVE WHAT'S LEFT IN THE BAG. (Can you tell I didn't do that one time?) Brown the chops on both sides in a little bit of oil in a skillet large enough for the chops to nestle together in a single layer. If you choose a pan you can also serve in, life is even easier. Once they're browned and "nestled", slice the two onions and spread them over the chops; add 1/3 cup of water, cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 25 minutes. Remove the cover and add the zucchini, sliced (I slice it 1/2" to 3/4" thick). Now go back to that bag of ingredients that you've saved; add the additional 3 Tb Parmesan cheese, the 1/2 tsp paprika and the 1/2 tsp dill weed. Shake it up to mix it all together and sprinkle the concoction over everything in the pan. DON'T STIR. Just let it sit there on top of the zucchini. Replace the cover and simmer for another 15 minutes. All done. Serve "as is.".

SMOKY GRILLED PORK CHOPS AND ZUCCHINI NOODLES



Smoky Grilled Pork Chops and Zucchini Noodles image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon cracked coriander seed
1 tablespoon chipotle powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin powder
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
3/4 teaspoon mustard powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
4 double-cut pork chops
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
4 medium zucchini (about 2 pounds)
2 ears corn, cleaned and kernels cut off the cob (about 2 cups)
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
Juice of 1 lime
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup dill, finely chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta

Steps:

  • To a large skillet, add the cracked coriander seeds, chipotle powder, cumin powder, smoked paprika and mustard powder. Toast over low heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just toasted, about 3 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, then mix with the salt.
  • Heat up your grill with lump charcoal, making a hot and a slow zone. Dry the pork chops with paper towels. Evenly sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with the spice mixture.
  • Drizzle the seasoned pork chops with olive oil, and then place them on the hot side of the grill. Cook for about 8 minutes per side to develop a nice crust, then move to the slow zone of the grill and put the lid down. Continue to cook until the pork chops reach 140 degrees F. Remove to a platter or cutting board. Let the chops rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the zucchini into noodles with a spiral vegetable slicer on the medium setting. Alternatively, use a Japanese mandoline or a sharp chef's knife to cut the zucchini into thin planks, then into strips lengthwise.
  • Toss the zucchini noodles, corn and cherry tomatoes in a large bowl with the lime juice, garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine, then stir in the dill and feta. Pour into a large serving bowl and serve alongside the pork chops.

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Four 1-inch-thick bone-in pork chops (8 to 10 ounces each)
Base Brine, recipe follows
2/3 cup small-diced pineapple
2/3 cup small-diced zucchini
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chardonnay or white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon finely chopped shallots
1 teaspoon finely minced jalapenos
1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup kosher salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Place the pork chops into a glass baking dish or bowl and pour the chilled Base Brine over top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  • About an hour before serving, make the salsa. Combine the pineapple, zucchini, mint, olive oil, chardonnay, shallots, jalapenos, ginger and some salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Let marinate 1 hour. (This is best if allowed to marinate for 1 hour, but you can also serve it straight away if necessary.)
  • When ready to cook the pork, prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the brine, pat dry and allow to sit out while the grill is preheating.
  • Season the pork chops on all sides with salt and pepper. Place onto the hot grill and cook until the internal temperature registers 145 degrees F on a meat thermometer, 7 to 8 minutes per side for medium. Allow the pork chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving topped with the salsa.
  • Combine the brown sugar, salt, peppercorns, garlic, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf and 8 cups (2 quarts) water in a large stockpot and heat just to dissolve the salt and sugar. Chill thoroughly before using.
