Sweet And Spicy Pineapple Pork Chops Food

PINEAPPLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Season the pork chops on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes, or until golden on one side.
• While the chops are searing, add the pineapple tidbits, honey, soy sauce, and garlic to a medium-sized bowl.
• Flip the chops over then pour the pineapple sauce into the pan. Continue to cook the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit and the pineapple sauce has reduced and thickened a little, about 10 minutes. If the pineapple sauce is getting too thick, add a splash of water.
• Serve the pineapple pork chops with a little cilantro over the top.

• Place a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil, and once hot add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes, or until golden on one side.
• Meanwhile in a large bowl mix pineapple tidbits, maple syrup, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic.
• Flip the chops to the other side, then pour the pineapple mixture into the pan. Continue to cook the meat until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit and the sauce has reduced and thickened a bit, about 10-12 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of water.
• Garnish with cilantro and serve.

DEEP-FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET AND SPICY RED PEPPER JELLY

Steps:

• For the pepper jelly: Combine the sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice, roasted bell peppers and jalapeno. Blend using a food processor or immersion blender. Place the puree in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Add the pectin and continue to boil for 60 seconds, at which point add the frozen peppers to stop the cooking process. Pour the jelly into a metal container and chill in an ice bath for about 1 hour until it sets, or overnight in the refrigerator.
• For the pork chops: Using the toothy side of a meat tenderizer, pound the pork chops to about 1/2-inch thickness. Add the blackening seasoning, salt and pepper to the flour and mix thoroughly. Dredge the chops in the seasoned flour, dip in the buttermilk and then back into the flour (using one hand to work in the flour, and the other for dipping in the buttermilk). Allow to rest for at least a minute or so to allow the breader to set up.
• Pour the oil into a deep, heavy pot (cast iron is best), enough so that the pork chop has room to float, but there needs to be a few inches of clearance so that it doesn't overflow when you are frying. Heat the oil to 355 degrees F. Use a deep-fry thermometer to get the temperature right; too high and your food will burn on the outside before it is cooked on the inside, and too low your food will come out greasy and soggy.
• Gently the drop pork chops, 1 or 2 at a time, into the oil; don't crowd the pot. Fry until golden brown on the outside, about 7 minutes. Serve with the pepper jelly.

SWEET AND SOUR PINEAPPLE PORK

• In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients except the cornstarch mixture, blend well and bring to a boil. Add cornstarch mixture. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently until thickened. Be sure and bring your sauce to a boil before adding the cornstarch, otherwise the sauce may retain an unpleasant starchy taste.
• Heat oil in a Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove pork pieces from marinade and roll in cornstarch to coat well. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy.
• In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil on medium-high heat. Stir-fry red and yellow pepper and diced onion for 2 minutes, then add sweet and sour sauce and fold in fried pork. Let simmer for 2 minutes, arrange on serving platter and garnish with long strips of green onion and toasted sesame seeds.
