Time 55m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 small Kirby or Persian cucumbers, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup apricot jam
3 tablespoons sambal oelek or chili-garlic sauce
1 head broccoli (12 ounces), cut into large florets
3 small sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch wedges
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for drizzling
4 bone-in pork chops (each 1 inch thick), preferably rib end

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°F, with a rimmed baking sheet on center rack and another rack in top position. Stir together cucumbers, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons cilantro; season with salt and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together jam and sambal oelek; set aside. In another bowl, toss broccoli and sweet potatoes with 3 tablespoons oil; season.
  • Remove sheet from oven; drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then spread broccoli mixture in a single layer. Roast, flipping once, until charred in places, 22 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a plate; toss with remaining cilantro. Switch oven to broil.

SWEET AND TANGY APPLE PORK CHOPS



Sweet and Tangy Apple Pork Chops image

This is a recipe I created using the idea that pork and apples go splendidly together! The seasonings give the pork a sweet and slightly spicy taste. The apple cider adds to the sweetness, while bringing a unique tartness as it is absorbed into the meat. Serve with applesauce, if desired. Hope you enjoy!

1 pound pork chops
2 tablespoons butter

SWEET N SPICY STUFFED PORK CHOPS



Sweet N Spicy Stuffed Pork Chops image

This is the first dish I ever mad for my DH when we were married. It is still the one he asks for the most! Thick cut pork chops stuffed with cheese and tomatoes and rubbed with tons of sugar and spice. I sometimes substitute fresh spinach or mushrooms for the tomato (or use a combination). I have also used the same recipe for stuffing and grilling pork tenderloins. I finish the tenderloin in the oven. Prep time doesn't include 2 hours optional marinade time.

Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 butterfly pork chops, thick cut
1 -2 tablespoon carribean jerk dry seasoning (I use McCormick)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
kosher salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 roma tomato, sliced 1/4 in thick (or fresh spinach or mushrooms)
4 slices muenster cheese
3 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine jerk seasoning (you can vary the amount based on how spicy you like your food and how thick of a "crust" you want on your pork chop), cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, pepper, red pepper, soy, vinegar and oil.
  • Rub inside pocket of each chop with a small amount of this mixture. Rub outsides of chops with mixture generously. At this point you can continue with the recipe or refrigerate for a couple of hours to allow flavors to permeate the chops. I leave them uncovered in the fridge so the crust will dry out a bit.
  • Preheat grill for high and direct heat (we love charcoal and will sometimes add soaked applewood chips for more flavor). Allow chops to come back to room temperature if you refrigerated them. Rub inside of chop lightly with some brown sugar and more heavily crust the outside with brown sugar.
  • Open chops and grill for 2-3 minutes (cooking the INSIDE pocket of the chop) Remove from grill and stuff each with 2 slices of cheese and 2-3 slices of tomato. Secure chop closed with toothpicks or skewers that have been soaked in water.
  • Grill each side of pork chop for an additional 3-4 minutes depending on thickness of chop and how well you like your chops done. You may pat a bit more brown sugar on as you flip to give even more of a glaze to the chop.
  • Allow chop to stand for a couple of minutes once done grilling as they will continue to cook and redistribute juices.

SWEET N SPICY PORK CHOPS



Sweet N Spicy Pork Chops image

These are broiled, nicely spiced, and always a big hit. They're quick to prepare also, and work as well for a family dinner as they do for company. I usually make some type of green beans (if I'm really in a hurry I get a can of Del Monte seasoned green beans), and some type of potatoes, but mac n cheese works too. Also, kids love these.

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 center-cut pork chops (or the type you prefer, thickness is up to you)
ground black pepper
granulated garlic
brown sugar, for each chop (I use light, but dark will work)
salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Line large broiler pan with foil (if not using heavy duty foil. line it twice, makes for easy clean up) Also. you just need the bottom of the pan, not the rack.
  • Place chops in pan, and season heavily with, pepper, and garlic (and note I mean HEAVY). Lightly salt, if desired. Then top with about 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Place under broiler, (if using gas - use 2nd from top slot, if electric, either 2nd from top, or 3rd). If chops are really thick, for gas broiler, put on bottom slot.
  • Cook about 10 - 15 minutes, until sugar is bubbly and turning quite dark. The dark color is mostly just the sugar getting brown, not the meat.
  • Turn chops, then repeat with spices and sugar (yes another 2 tablespoons), and cook another 10 or 15 minutes, till done. Just keep watching them to make sure they don't burn, but remember the sugar is going to bubble and get dark, so account for that--just make sure pork is cooked totally through (or to the doneness you prefer). Cooking time is of course going to vary based on how thick your chops are.
  • Hope you enjoy.
