Stuffed Pork Chop With Three Onion Cherry Jam And Buttered Green Beans Food

THREE-ONION CHERRY JAM

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the yellow onion, red onion, and shallots to the pan and stir well. Season the onions with salt, and pepper, to taste.
• When the onions have cooked down and they are deepening in color, deglaze the pan with the red wine. Let the wine cook until reduced and absorbed by the onions. Cook the onions for about 5 minutes more, then add the cherry juice and red wine vinegar. Reduce the heat to medium-low heat, and let cook at a slow simmer. Add the thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Let the onions cook down until they start taking on a soft texture and the liquid is reduced and absorbed by the onions. Stir in 2 tablespoons brown sugar and honey. Cook, stirring occasionally until the liquid has reduced and the onions have absorbed most of the liquid, about 8 to 10 minutes. Taste the mixture and add more sugar if it is too tart. Test the consistency of the jam by drizzling a spoonful of it onto a plate and letting it cool. It should be thick and not runny. If it is too runny, simmer the mixture longer until more liquid is cooked out.
• Serve the jam with pork, beef, chicken, or fish, or try it with roasted vegetables.

CLASSIC BUTTERED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water; generously salt the water.
• Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until bright green and just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain and transfer to the ice water to cool completely. Drain again and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet; pat dry.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, season with salt and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the green beans to the pot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until hot, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and add 1 tablespoon water and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter; stir to coat.

PORK CHOPS WITH JAMMY-MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup water, the preserves and the mustard. Set near the stove. Pat the pork chops dry, and season all over with salt and pepper.
• In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the pork chops and cook, occasionally pressing down to make good contact with the skillet, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, flip the chops and cook until opaque on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the jam-mustard mixture, turn off the heat, and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the chops to plates, then return the skillet to medium-low heat and simmer, scraping up browned bits, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Every jam is different, so if it's too sweet, add more mustard, salt or black pepper; if it's too salty, add a little more jam; if it's too intense or thick, add a little more water; if it's flat, add salt. Spoon sauce over the pork chops.

STUFFED PORK LOIN WITH CHERRIES (4 INGREDIENTS)

Steps:

• You may brine the roast if desired to increase the tenderness of the roast - instructions are included at the end.
• You'll be slicing the roast so that you create a large rectangle. Start by slicing the roast lengthwise, cutting to - but not through - the opposite side. Spread roast in half, then slice down both halves, to but not through the opposite side, so you now have four long rectangular sections. Use a mallet to pound the roast so that you form one large flattened rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
• Prepare stuffing. Melt butter in a large glass bowl. Stir in stuffing mix, and then add about HALF the can of cherry pie filling (I try to get most of the cherries and not so much of the "gel"). Discard remaining cherry pie filling.
• Assembly: spread stuffing mixture evenly over pork. Beginning at a long side, roll up pork, jellyroll fashion, and tie securely with string at 2 inch intervals.
• Bake on a greased rack at 325 degrees for about 1 hours and 30 minutes, or until meat thermometer registers 155 degrees at the thickest part (test a couple areas and don't get stuck in the stuffing, which doesn't get as hot as the pork).
• I often put quartered carrots, turnips and onions in the bottom of the roasting pan, which will be nice and tender when the roast is done.
• Remove from oven. Allow to sit 10 minutes before carving.
• Optional: brine pork for 1 day to increase tenderness and juicy-ness. To brine the pork, dissolve 1/2 cup salt in 1 gallon water; cool completely. Then immerse pork roast in the brine liquid and keep in your refrigerator for 24 hours. Remove from brine; rinse thoroughly before proceeding with recipe.
