Skillet Pork Chops With Sauteed Swiss Chard Sbd P1 Food

PORK CHOPS WITH PUMPKIN GRITS AND SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the grits, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Reduce to a gentle simmer and cook, whisking, until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the cheese and pumpkin until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the vegetable oil. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip the pork and cook until almost cooked through, 2 to 3 more minutes. Add the butter and sage and cook until the butter is melted. Tip the skillet slightly and spoon the butter over the pork; cook, basting with the butter, until the pork is cooked through and the butter is golden brown, 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove the pork to a plate, leaving the butter in the skillet. Place the sage leaves on the pork chops; tent with foil to keep warm.
• Return the skillet to high heat and add the shallot and chard stems. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chard leaves and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook until dry, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper. Divide the grits and chard among plates. Top with the pork chops.

THE BEST JUICY SKILLET PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and season on both sides with salt - we use just less than 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt per pork chop. Set the chops aside to rest for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the spice rub. In a small bowl, mix the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
• After 30 minutes, use a paper towel to pat the pork chops dry, then rub both sides of the chops with the spice rub.
• Heat the oil in a skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and looks shimmery, add the pork. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Flip the pork so that the seared side is facing up. If there is a fattier side of the pork, use kitchen tongs to hold the chops, fat-side-down until it sizzles and browns slightly; about 30 seconds.
• Reduce the heat to low, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook 6 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145° F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. Cook time depends on the thickness of the chops, so check for doneness at 5 minutes, then go from there, checking every 2 minutes after that. If you do not have a thermometer, you will know they are done, if, when cutting into the chops, the juices run clear.
• Transfer pork chops to a plate, then cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
• While the pork rests, make the pan sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the chicken stock, vinegar, and honey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan so that any stuck bits of pork come up.
• Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Taste, then adjust the seasoning with additional salt, vinegar, or honey.
• Slide the skillet off of the heat and when the sauce is no longer simmering, swirl in the butter.
• Slide the pork chops back into the pan and spoon some of the sauce on top. Alternatively, slice the chops, then place them back into the pan. Scatter fresh parsley over the pork, and then serve.

SAVORY SWISS CHARD WITH PORK CHOPS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Casserole -- First remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. Brush well with 1 tablespoon olive oil and then season well with salt, pepper and paprika on both sides.
• Next, spray the casserole dish with a non stick spray and add the swiss chard and top with the sliced onions. Add some salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil (1 tablespoon). Lightly toss. Then top with the chicken broth and the 4 pork chops.
• NOTE: If you want you could pan sear the pork chops first if you want as one reviewer mentioned, but I don't. But if would give a nice color to the chops if you prefer.
• Cheese -- Sprinkle the cheeses on top of the swiss chard and onions, around the pork chops.
• Potatoes -- In a small bowl add the potatoes, remaining olive oil, salt, pepper and dried thyme and then add them on top of the swiss chard and cheese around the pork chops.
• Bake -- 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes until the chops are done.
• Garnish -- I love to put a good balsamic vinegar on the table so each person can just drizzle a little on if they want. For me the flavor is amazing.
• Just Enjoy!
