Best Spanish Style Pork Chops With Chorizo And Roasted Red Pepper Sauce And Green Beans Recipes

SPANISH CRISPY PORK CHOPS WITH RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250˚. Heat the rice as the label directs. Season the pork with the Sazón, salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the pork and cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 1 more minute. Remove to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste and turmeric. Cook, stirring, until the onion is coated, about 1 minute. Add the pigeon peas and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the rice and olives and heat through, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper.
• Serve the pork chops with the rice mixture; drizzle with any juices from the baking sheet. Top with cilantro.

PORK CHOP AND ROASTED RED PEPPER BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking pan with foil or coat with nonstick spray. Combine flour and bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. In a small bowl, beat eggs and water together.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Dip chops in egg mixture, dredge in flour and crumb mixture, and arrange chops in hot skillet. Lightly brown chops until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Remove from skillet, and place on prepared baking pan. Top chops with strips of roasted red peppers. Set aside.
• In small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Slowly add flour, stirring with whisk until light brown. Slowly whisk milk into flour, and continue whisking until sauce thickens. Remove from heat, and stir in mushrooms and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Evenly top each chop with mushroom white sauce.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

SPANISH-STYLE PORK CHOPS WITH CHORIZO AND ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of EVOO. Season the chops with the paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the chops in the skillet and sear the meat to caramelize, about 2 minutes each side. Transfer the chops to a rimmed cookie sheet and place in the oven to finish off, 8 to 10 minutes, until the meat is firm to the touch, but not tough. Remove from the oven and let the chops rest, covered with a piece of aluminum foil, for a few minutes.
• While the chops are in the oven, return the skillet to medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, onions, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook the chorizo and onions for about 3 minutes.
• Bring an inch or two of water to a boil in another skillet with a lid.
• Process the roasted peppers and parsley in a food processor until smooth. Add the sherry to the chorizo and onions and stir, then pour in the roasted pepper puree. Cook for another minute or 2, until the pepper puree is heated through.
• Place the green beans in the boiling water. Salt the water and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the beans are just tender. Drain and dress the beans with a drizzle of EVOO, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
• Place a chop on each dinner plate, top with the chorizo and roasted red pepper sauce, and serve with green beans and crusty bread, for plate-mopping.
