Pork Chops With Bean Salad Food

PORK CHOPS WITH WARM THREE-BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Combine the fennel and coriander in a small bowl and rub all over the pork.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until browned, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast in the oven until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Reserve the skillet.
• Meanwhile, add the green beans and wax beans to the boiling water and cook until just crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Add the bacon to the reserved skillet along with 1 tablespoon olive oil; cook over medium heat until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the green and wax beans, butter beans and reserved cooking water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the butter beans are warmed through and the mixture is saucy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tarragon and vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss. Serve with the pork chops.

SPICY PORK CHOPS WITH BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat a large grill pan or grill over medium-high heat. Rub the pork chops with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup enchilada sauce, the chile powder and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Rub all over the pork and set aside at room temperature. Toss the sliced red onion with the lime juice and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Heat the remaining 5 teaspoons olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cilantro stems and remaining 2 tablespoons enchilada sauce and cook, stirring, until mostly dry, 2 minutes. Add the beans and their liquid along with 1/2 cup water; bring to a simmer. Mash about one-third of the beans against the side of the pan with a spoon. Cook until the sauce coats the beans, 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, lightly char the tortillas on the grill pan, about 1 minute per side. Stack and wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Lightly oil the grill pan. Grill the pork chops until marked and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Divide the pork chops, beans, tortillas and avocado among plates. Season the avocado with salt and pepper. Toss the cilantro leaves with the sliced red onion, then add to the plates.

EASY OVEN BAKED BEANS AND PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Brown the chops in a frypan on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder (if using); set aside.

• In a bowl mix together the pork and beans, chopped onion, chopped green pepper, BBQ sauce, ketchup, brown sugar and cayenne pepper (if using).
• Layer HALF of the bean mixture on the bottom of Dutch oven.
• Lay the pork chops on top of the bean mixture.
• Top with remaining bean mixture.
• Bake covered or uncovered for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chops are tender (if you prefer a thicker sauce then bake covered for half the time then finish baking uncovered).
• DELICIOUS.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH PEACHES AND POLE BEANS

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup olive oil and vegetable oil in a measuring cup. Combine 2 tablespoons marjoram, Dijon mustard, garlic, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk oil mixture into herb mixture until creamy. Season to taste with pepper. Transfer about 1/4 cup dressing to a small bowl; cover and chill.
• Season pork chops with 4 teaspoons salt. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag; pour remaining dressing over, spreading evenly to distribute. Seal bag; chill for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Cook beans in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Drain; transfer to a large bowl of ice water to chill. Drain beans; pat dry. Transfer beans, remaining 1 tablespoon marjoram, and shallot to a medium bowl; toss with enough reserved dressing to coat and season with salt and pepper.
• Build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Remove pork chops from bag, scraping off excess dressing. Grill chops, turning occasionally on all sides, until browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes total. (Be sure to cook thick chops on the edges, too, and melt the thin strips of white fat; they'll cook more evenly.)
• Place peaches in a medium bowl; drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat. Grill peaches, cut side down, until they begin to soften and char, 4-6 minutes. Transfer pork and peaches to a cutting board; let pork rest for 10 minutes.
• Slice peaches. Carve bones from pork and thinly slice meat. Serve pork and peaches with bean salad.
