Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

Tamarind Glaze
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic
1 sprig fresh thyme
1/2 cup rum (añejo)
1 cup honey
1 cup tamarind pulp
3 cups beef stock
Brine
4 quarts water
1 cup sugar
1 cup salt
30 whole cloves
4 whole nutmegs, cracked
Pork Chops
8 center-cut pork chops, about 21/2 inches thick
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
Granulated garlic, for seasoning
Dried thyme, for seasoning

Steps:

  • To make the glaze: Place the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme and cook until the onion and garlic begin to brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the rum and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes to evaporate the alcohol. Stir in the honey and tamarind pulp and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the beef stock and continue cooking until the liquid is reduced by half. Strain through a sieve. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To brine the pork chops: In a large stockpot, bring to a boil the water, sugar, salt, cloves, and nutmegs. Stir occasionally and cook until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Remove the brine from the heat and add the pork chops. Let cool for 30 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Prepare a hot grill for direct cooking, with a cool zone to one side.
  • Remove the pork chops from the brine, rinse with cold water, and pat dry. Season to your liking with salt, cracked black pepper, granulated garlic, and dried thyme.
  • Use long-handled tongs and a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil to lightly oil the grate, then place the pork chops over the fire, about 6 inches over the glowing coals. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Move the chops to the cool zone, cover the grill, and cook for 5 minutes. Turn, cover the grill, and grill until just cooked through, about 5 minutes more. The meat should register 145°F on a meat thermometer.
  • Transfer to a serving platter and allow the chops to rest for 10 minutes. While the meat is resting, warm the glaze. Serve the pork chops whole or sliced with the glaze.

TAMARIND-GLAZED PORK CHOPS



Tamarind-Glazed Pork Chops image

A Splendid Table recipe for the grill or a skillet, from "How to Eat Supper". The chops cook quite quickly,so don't overcook them, and the leftover glaze would also be good on other proteins, like poultry or swordfishfish.I use dry white vermouth for the white wine. I recommend NOT using a cast iron pan for this!

Time 15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 generous tablespoons tamarind paste
2 tablespoons ground aleppo pepper (or other sweet dried chile like ancho)
6 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons asian fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons dry white wine
3 tablespoons water (or more)
4 thin-cut pork chops
extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • If you are grilling, prepare the grill.
  • In a food processor, puree the glaze ingredients. Thin the resulting paste with water as needed to get the consistency of thick masple syrup. Set the glaze aside.
  • Grill the chops over a medium fire until nicely browned, or film a large saute pan with olive oil and sear the chops over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • In the last few minutes of cooking, baste the chops with the glaze, turning them once to coat both sides. You want it to bubble and caramelize. Serve the chops with the extra glaze alongside.
