PORK CHOPS WITH BRANDIED CHERRIES

Steps:

• Combine salt, garam masala, pepper and allspice in a small bowl. Rub mixture all over pork chops, covering their entire surface. Let chops rest for 15 to 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 24 hours, covered, in the refrigerator.
• Heat a 10-inch skillet at medium-high. Add oil. Sear pork chops until brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add garlic to pan, then sear the fatty edges of the chops, using tongs to hold them up, for about 30 seconds to 1 minute each. (Flip the garlic after it browns on one side.) If the pan starts to smoke at any point, lower the heat. Transfer the pork to a plate, and spoon off all but a thin layer of fat from pan. (Leave garlic in the pan.)
• Add brandy to pan, let it simmer until the alcohol burns off (about 30 seconds), then add cherries, thyme and 2 tablespoons water. Let simmer for 1 minute.
• Move cherries to the sides of the pan and return pork chops to the center so they can make contact with the metal. Cover pan and cook over low heat for about 7 minutes, until meat reaches 130 to 135 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. (Its temperature will rise as it rests.) Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add butter and vinegar or honey to the pan, stirring until butter melts and coats the cherries. Taste and add more honey or vinegar, and salt as needed. Serve pork with cherries and more thyme on top.

PORK CHOPS WITH GLAZED PEACHES

Steps:

• To cut chops from a bone-in pork loin, follow along the rib bone with a sharp knife to make one clean cut. Season the pork chops thoroughly with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. One at a time, cover each chop with a piece of plastic wrap and lightly pound with the back of a heavy knife or a spoon to work the seasoning into the chops.Cut the peaches into medium ½-inch chunks. Slice the garlic cloves into thin slivers. Pull the sage leaves from the stems and thinly slice.
• Heat a heavy bottomed cast-iron pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
• To the hot pan, add all of the chops standing up on their fat cap side, to render off some of the fat, and pan-sear for a few minutes. Remove two of the chops, and lay the other two down on their meatier sides, to pan sear and cook through. After a few minutes, carefully turn over and brown the other side for another few minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
• Repeat for the remaining chops. Remove from the pan and let rest with the other pork chops.Drain and discard some of the cooking oil. Add the peaches to the pan and sauté vigorously, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and sage, and immediately add the apple cider. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the butter and swirl the mixture together, to emulsify the butter into the peaches. Remove from the heat.
• Stack the rested pork chops on a platter and finish by spooning the peaches and pan juices over top. Serve immediately.

PORK WITH PEACHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C/gas 7).
• Score the skin of the pork through the fat, the incisions should be about 1 centimeter apart. Turn over. Make a pocket for the stuffing by cutting an incision at an angle, about 3 inches (7.5 centimeters) deep in the center of the streaky part of the loin, working away from the eye meat. Starting slightly in from the side of the meat, slowly slice along the loin not quite to the end, this will ensure your stuffing won't fall out.
• Chop half the thyme with 1 clove of garlic and scrunch together with the butter, 1 tin of peaches, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Push the butter into the pocket and pat back into shape. Lay the pancetta, bacon or Parma ham over the pork, leaving the skin side uncovered, and tie up firmly with 3 to 4 pieces of string.
• Place skin-side up in a roasting tray with the remaining peaches, the garlic cloves, thyme, and half of the white wine. Roast for around 1 hour until the skin is crisp and golden.
• When ready, remove the pork and peaches to a plate and leave to rest for 15 minutes whilst you finish the sauce. To do this, remove most of the fat from the roasting tray, then place the tray over a high heat. Squash the cooked garlic and add 1 tablespoon of flour. Stir and add the rest of the wine with a glass of water or stock. Simmer and leave to reduce for a few minutes. Strain and add any extra juices from the rested pork. Check the seasoning and consistency and serve drizzled over the sliced pork.

SUPER EASY PEACHY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to specified temp on the "Shake 'n Bake for Pork" box. (Mine says 425*F).
• Rinse chops under running water, pat dry, and set aside.
• Drain the juice from the can of peaches into a bowl, reserving the sliced peaches in the can.
• Put one envelope of "Shake 'n Bake for Pork" into the designated baggie.
• Place a piece of aluminum foil on a cookie sheet with low edges (for easy clean-up).
• Dredge chops thru the reserved peach juice in the bowl, letting the excess drip off.
• Place 2 chops at a time into the "Shake 'n Bake for Pork" coating, and vigorously shake them to cover completely. Place them on the sheet pan. Continue to do so with the 2 or 4 remaining chops (spacing accordingly).
• Bake according to package (my box says 15 minutes, depending on thickness, at 425*F). After they are almost cooked thru (around 10- 12 minutes, depending on thickness), add 2 -3 slices of peaches to the top of each chop and let bake an additional 5 minutes (or until chops are cooked thru. Do not over-cook).
• Here is the OPTIONAL "peachy stuffing". If not making, just skip to Step #12.
• Note: I sometimes dice up a peach slice to add to the stuffing, but that's entirely up to you. So, let's get out your box of "Stove Top Stuffing for Pork".
• Put the reserved peach juice (that we dredged the chops thru), into a measuring cup. Fill the remainder of the measuring cup with enough water to equal 1 & 2/3 cup liquid (or whatever your box specifies for liquid) and add the butter. Bring to a boil on stove-top over medium heat in a sauce pan and then reduce to a simmer for just a few minutes. Remove from heat, add the stuffing cubes (and diced peach slice, if using) and cover for 5 minutes and fluff with fork. (At this point, stuffing may be mounded onto the tray with the chops to get a little crispy during the last 5 minutes of baking), or just follow directions on box and leave it alone). It may need a splash more water before serving, but be patient. Then you can fluff it with a fork just before dinner.
• Remove chops from oven and let rest for 5 minutes (loosely tented with foil) before eating, so juices will redistribute. I love to serve fresh or frozen green peas with this dish (cooked, of course). They seem to work well together. Serve any remaining peach slices from the can with the meal.
• Enjoy!
