SWEET-AND-SAUCY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Season pork chops with salt and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 tsp. sugar. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook chops, undisturbed, until well browned underneath, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook just until second side is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Transfer chops to a plate (they won't be fully cooked); reduce heat to medium.
• Pour remaining 1 Tbsp. oil into same skillet and add shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until softened and just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
• Add vinegar and remaining 1 tsp. sugar to skillet. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until vinegar is nearly evaporated, about 2 minutes.
• Add rosemary, capers, and 1/2 cup water to skillet; season with salt. Reduce heat as needed to maintain a very low simmer. Add butter and swirl pan continuously (and vigorously) until sauce becomes smooth, glossy, and emulsified.

• Transfer pork chops to plates and spoon sauce over.

SWEET AND SPICY GLAZED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
• Remove the pork chops from their package and rub the seasoning mixture over all sides of each chop. The moisture from the meat will help the seasoning to adhere to the surface.
• Heat olive oil in a large, oven­-safe skillet over a medium flame. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the pork chops. Cook the chops for about 5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.
• If your chops are greater than one-inch thick, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven for another 5­-10 minutes to finish cooking. Test the chops with a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature has reached 145ºF. Cook longer if needed.
• Dredge the chops through the thick sauce in the bottom of the pan just before serving.

PORK CHOPS AND SWEET POTATO GRAVY

Steps:

• Season the pork chops with the rub. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chops, about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer the chops to a warm platter and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the flour and, stirring constantly, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the roux is chocolate brown. Add the onions and water and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until wilted. Add the pecans, water, salt, and cayenne and mix well. Bring to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and blend to make a smooth mixture. Stir in the syrup and green onions. Return the pork chops to the pan, reduce the heat and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, basting the chops with the gravy.
• Serve immediately.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

SKILLET PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Pat dry pork chops with a paper towel.
• Rub pork chops with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
• In a small bowl mix salt, pepper and paprika and rub onto the pork chops. Set aside.
• Place a medium skillet (to which you have a lid for) over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and once it is hot add the pork.
• Cook until golden, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Flip the pork chops to the other side, cook for one minute and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook 5 to 12 minutes (check every 2 minutes after 5 mins), or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. If you do not have a thermometer.
• Transfer pork chops to a plate or cutting board and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes.
• Using the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the cherry tomatoes, sear them until lightly charred, remove and set aside on a plate.
• Add the chicken stock, vinegar, maple syrup, and brown sugar to the skillet, stir and add 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary.
• Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the skillet to remove any bits that stuck to it. Bring the mixture a simmer and cook until reduced by half.
• Taste and adjust for salt, acidity or sweetness.
• Take the skillet off the stove, and when the sauce is no longer simmering, stir in the butter. Discard rosemary.
• Add back the pork chops back into the pan and drizzle some of the sauce on top. Add back the tomatoes.
• Sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley on top and garnish with a few fresh rosemary sprigs before serving.

SWEET AND SPICY CHILI PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork, cooking 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove pan from heat and let pork stand for 30 seconds.
• While pork cooks, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, chile paste, hoisin and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
• Pour sauce over the pork, scraping the pan to loosen the fond. Turn the pork over to coat. (The recipe does not call for this, but I often will return over low heat just to make sure the sauce is heated through, if there is not enough residual heat in the skillet).
• Serve garnished with the green onion slices.
• I had a couple of thick boneless chops sitting around, so I cut them into thin, flat slices and cooked as above; then doubled the sauce ingredients, tossed it all together and served with saffron rice. A nice variation.
