Pan Roasted Pork Chops With Apple Fritters Food

PORK CHOPS AND APPLE SHEET PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the parsnips in the center of the baking sheet and drizzle generously with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss with 3 sprigs of thyme. Spread the parsnips into an even layer leaving an empty space on both sides. Roast until the parsnips become tender and begin to brown in spots, about 20 minutes. Use tongs to give the parsnips another toss.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the parsnips closer together in the center of the pan. Core the apple and cut it into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place the apples on one side of the parsnips, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the cinnamon. Pick the leaves from the remaining 2 sprigs thyme and sprinkle them on top of the apples. Lay the pork chops on the other side of the parsnips and brush with the Dijon mustard. Sprinkle each chop with the herbes de Provence and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast until the apples are soft, the parsnips are completely tender and golden brown, and the pork chops read an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 20 minutes more. Divide evenly between two plates, top the apples with the parsley leaves and serve.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND CIDER

Steps:

• Make the spice salt: Put peppercorns, cloves, allspice and sage in a spice mill or mortar and grind to a powder. Remove to a bowl and stir in salt. Season pork chops on both sides with salt mixture. (There will be some salt mixture remaining; use it to season the sauce, Step 4.) Cover and leave chops at room temperature to absorb seasonings for at least 30 minutes.
• Peel, quarter and core apples, then cut each apple into 12 wedges. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a wide skillet and raise heat to medium-high. Add apple wedges in one layer and brown gently on one side, about 2 minutes. Brown on the other side and cook for 2 minutes more, or until apples are cooked through but still firm. Remove apples from pan and keep warm.
• Add 1 tablespoon butter to pan and swirl to melt. Dust pork chops with flour, and place in pan and brown gently for about 4 minutes per side. Adjust heat if necessary to keep pork from cooking too quickly. Remove chops and keep warm on a platter in a low oven. Discard remaining butter.
• Add ½ cup cider to pan, raise heat to high and cook down to a syrup. Add mustard and chicken broth, and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Add potato starch and stir with a wire whisk as the sauce thickens. Stir in crème fraîche. Season to taste with remaining spiced salt. Add 2 tablespoons cider and the Calvados, if using. Cook for 1 minute more.
• Spoon sauce over the chops, then spoon the apples around the platter. Sprinkle with chives and parsley.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown pork chops in oil on each side. Season with salt and pepper; remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, saute onions and apple wedges until crisp-tender. , Combine mustard and brown sugar; brush over chops. Return to the skillet; cook for 4 minutes or until meat juices run clear.

ROASTED HERITAGE BERKSHIRE PORK CHOPS WITH APPLE PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• Pat the pork chops dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• In an ovenproof pan, put in 1 tablespoon of butter and olive oil, and on high heat, sear the pork chops for 2 minutes on each side, until nice and brown.
• Spoon out most of the fat in the pan and put the pan in the oven.
• Roast the pork chops for 10 minutes, until the internal temperature is 140ºF. It may take less time. Berkshire pork is best at this temperature, which is lower than the USDA recommended temperature of 160ºF. If you are a concerned person, then you are better off sticking with 160ºF. NOTE: cooking time may vary depending on thickness of chops.
• A couple minutes before you think the pork chops are done, you can peel, core and chop the apple into little pieces.
• Take the pan out of the oven, remove the pork chops and keep warm.
• In the now empty pan used to roast the pork, put back on a burner on medium-high heat, and then add the apples, sage and remaining tablespoon of butter. Caramelize for a minute or two.
• Add the Calvados and reduce by half to burn off the alcohol.
• Add the demi-glace, any juices in the bowl from the reserved pork, and salt and pepper. Reduce for minute or two until it is nice and thick.
• Spoon the sauce and apples over the pork chops and serve.
• Serving suggestions: Serve with Boiled carrots and potatoes.

PAN-ROASTED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400*.
• Mix together the first 7 ingredients in a small bowl.
• Heat skillet over med.-high heat until hot.
• Add oil; heat until hot.
• Rub chops generously with seasoning mixture.
• Add seasoned pork to hot oil; cook 2 minutes or until brown on one side.
• Turn pork chops; place skillet in oven and bake 6 to 8 minutes or until no longer pink in the center.
• *Tip: You'll have extra rub, which will make this a really quick meal the next time you make this recipe.

PAN-SEARED PORK CHOPS WITH CARAMELIZED APPLES

Steps:

• Pat dry pork chops with paper towels.
• Brush pork chops with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
• Allow the pork chops to rest while you prepare the apples as follows below. This brings pork chops closer to room temperature which will help them sear better.
• I used 2 apples (1 red Gala apple and 1 green Granny Smith apple, for presentation purposes). Core the apples and slice each one length-wise.
• Place sliced apples into a large bowl, add brown sugar, cinnamon, and mix. Let apples sit for about 10 minutes to release juices.
• In a large pan (I used a large stainless steel skillet), heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil on high heat. Add sliced apples (without juice at the bottom of the pan) and cook on high heat for about 3 minutes on one side, checking periodically. After 3 or 5 minutes, flip sliced apples to the other side, reduce heat to medium and cook the apples for another 3 or 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Cook the apples in a single layer, without overcrowding to get a slightly "roasted" appearance. That means you might have to cook apples in 2 batches. Use the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter for the second batch.
• Depending on how hot your stove gets, it might take you less or more time to cook apples, the key is to brown them or even get a slightly "burned" effect. But don't overdo it, remove the cooked apples from the skillet once the apples have this "roasted" appearance.
• Right after you remove the pan with roasted sliced apples from the heat, immediately add honey to the hot skillet - it will make apples sizzle and will caramelize them beautifully, off the heat.
• For best searing results, use a cast-iron skillet. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes to heat it through.
• Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil - the oil should shimmer. Add the pork chops, and cook them on one side for 5 minutes, without moving.
• Reduce the heat to medium, flip the pork chops over to the other side, and cook them on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Cook longer (depending on the thickness of your pork chops) until the pork chops are cooked through.
• Spoon the cooked apples, together with the sauce from cooking the apples, over the pork chops. Top with fresh thyme.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Mix flour, sage, garlic, thyme, salt, allspice, and paprika together in a small bowl. Set aside 2/3 of the spice mixture for later use. Sprinkle remaining spice mixture onto the pork chops, coating all sides.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove pork from the skillet.
• Add onion to the skillet and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add apples; cook and stir for 2 more minutes. Stir in apple juice, brown sugar, and reserved spice mixture; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until pork is longer pink in the center, and reaches desired level of doneness, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

ONE-PAN PORK FILLET WITH LEEKS, APPLES, MUSTARD & THYME

Steps:

• Melt the butter over a medium heat in a large, shallow saucepan, frying pan or flameproof casserole until foaming. Season the pork slices, then fry for 2 mins on each side until browned. Use a slotted spoon to lift the pork onto a plate, then cook the apple wedges in the same pan for 3-4 mins until starting to caramelise. Lift onto the plate and set aside. Reduce the heat, scatter the leeks and thyme into the pan and cook for 15-20 mins until softened.
• Splash in the vinegar and simmer for 1 min, then pour the stock over the leeks, season and simmer for 10 mins more. Pour in the cream, then add the mustard and return the pork and apples to the pan. Season to taste and simmer for 5 mins more until the pork is cooked through but still tender and the apples are starting to soften. Serve the pork spooned over mash, if you like.

PAN-FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH APPLE AND PEPPER GRAVY

Steps:

• Mix apple cider, oil, Dijon mustard, vinegar, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Trim pork chops of fat and place into mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Remove pork chops from marinade; reserve marinade and set aside.
• Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops in the hot pan until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
• While the pork chops are cooking, marinate apple, bell peppers, and onion in the reserved marinade for 10 minutes.
• Add marinated apple to the pork chops; cook until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour the rest of the marinade, peppers, and onion into the pan and let simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Remove the pork chops, apples, and peppers from the pan and place in a serving dish.
• Mix flour and milk with the remaining liquid in the pan; simmer until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the gravy on top of the pork chops.
