Pork Chops With Succotash Food

SHEET-PAN PORK CHOPS WITH HOMINY SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil with the grated garlic, oregano and paprika in a small bowl. Rub all over the pork chops on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper.
• Toss the hominy, green beans, pimientos and smashed garlic with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Scatter around the pork chops. Pour the chicken broth over the hominy mixture, then dot with the butter.
• Transfer the baking sheet to the broiler and cook, rotating the pan and stirring the hominy mixture halfway through, until a thermometer inserted into the pork registers 145˚ F, 9 to 12 minutes. Remove the pork chops to plates.
• Stir the hominy mixture and return to the broiler until some of the liquid is reduced and the green beans are charred, 1 to 2 more minutes. Stir in the vinegar, season with salt and add to the plates.

RED PEPPER PORK CHOPS WITH SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the jelly and mustard and increase the heat to high. Cook, flipping the pork a few times, until well glazed and cooked through, 3 to 6 more minutes, depending on the thickness. Remove from the heat.
• Put the lima beans in a small microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons water; cover with plastic wrap and microwave until tender, about 5 minutes, then drain. Cut the kernels off the corn cobs and run the back of the knife down the cob to get all the corn milk.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in another large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lima beans, corn and corn milk, bell pepper and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the butter and 2 tablespoons water until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons chives.
• Divide the pork among plates and drizzle with the pan juices. Serve with the succotash; top with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives.

25-MINUTE GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or large grill pan for medium-high heat.
• Put the tomatoes into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and let sit at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Put the sour cream, lime zest and juice, cumin and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Reserve.
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Brush the pork all over with 2 tablespoons of the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Arrange the pork on one side of the grill (leave room for grilling the vegetables) and cook until lightly charred on both sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the deepest part of a chop registers 140 degrees F, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, brush the corn and onion liberally with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and arrange them on the grill. Cook the corn until lightly charred, 6 to 8 minutes, rotating the ears so that they cook evenly. Cook the onion until charred and tender, 6 to 8 minutes, flipping as needed. Transfer the vegetables to a cutting board and cool for 2 to 3 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut the corn away from the cobs and quarter the onion rounds. Add the corn, onion, black-eyed peas and half of the parsley to the same large bowl with the tomatoes. Gently toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide the succotash among 4 large dinner plates and top with a dollop of the reserved sour cream mixture. Place 1 pork chop on each plate next to the succotash. Garnish the succotash with the reserved parsley and serve immediately.

FOIL-PACKET BARBECUE PORK CHOPS WITH SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Lay out four 12-by-18-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Whisk the barbecue sauce and hot pepper jelly in a small bowl. Remove 1/3 cup of the sauce to a separate bowl and brush all over the pork chops; reserve the remaining sauce.
• Mix the lima beans, corn, hominy, scallion whites, thyme and melted butter in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the vegetable mixture among the foil sheets, mounding it slightly. Top each mound with a pork chop. Bring the 2 short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal; fold in the sides to form a packet.
• Grill the packets pork-side down, 6 minutes. Flip and cook 2 more minutes. Meanwhile, heat the reserved sauce in a small saucepan or in the microwave.
• Carefully open the packets and spoon some of the sauce on the pork chops; sprinkle with the scallion greens. Serve with the remaining sauce.
