Yvonne And Kevs Pork Chops With Black Pudding Cheese And Apple Food

PORK CHOPS AND APPLE SHEET PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the parsnips in the center of the baking sheet and drizzle generously with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss with 3 sprigs of thyme. Spread the parsnips into an even layer leaving an empty space on both sides. Roast until the parsnips become tender and begin to brown in spots, about 20 minutes. Use tongs to give the parsnips another toss.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the parsnips closer together in the center of the pan. Core the apple and cut it into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place the apples on one side of the parsnips, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the cinnamon. Pick the leaves from the remaining 2 sprigs thyme and sprinkle them on top of the apples. Lay the pork chops on the other side of the parsnips and brush with the Dijon mustard. Sprinkle each chop with the herbes de Provence and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast until the apples are soft, the parsnips are completely tender and golden brown, and the pork chops read an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 20 minutes more. Divide evenly between two plates, top the apples with the parsley leaves and serve.

YVONNE AND KEV'S PORK CHOPS WITH BLACK PUDDING, CHEESE AND APPLE

Steps:

• Turn the grill on to medium high.
• Season the pork chop with salt and pepper and grill for 4-6 minutes each side, you want the pork rind to be slightly browned and crispy.
• At the same time, grill the black pudding but only for 3-5 minutes each side.
• Put the black pudding on top of the chop, spread the apple sauce on top of that and cover with the grated cheese.
• Return to the grill until the cheese is slightly browned and bubbling.
• Wonderful!

SAGE PORK CHOPS WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE GRITS

Steps:

• For the cheese grits: Stir together 2 cups of the chicken stock and the cream in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan over high heat. Stir in the garlic, thyme leaves and 1 teaspoon salt until the salt dissolves. Rain in the grits, stir well and let them come to a simmer. Once you reach a simmer, reduce the heat to low and stir every 2 minutes, making sure nothing sticks to the bottom. The grits will take about 20 minutes, so while they're cooking, let's make the pork chops.
• For the pork chops: Pat the pork chops dry, season generously with salt and pepper and rub with the sage. Place the cornstarch on a large plate for dredging.
• Heat a large 9- to 11-inch skillet over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the olive oil and swirl to hit all sides. Give the chops a quick dredge in the cornstarch on both sides and carefully place down and away from you in the skillet. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the chops over and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chops to a large plate while you finish the sauce.
• Turn the heat to high and add the broth and apple juice to the skillet. Bring to a boil while stirring and scraping up all the delicious brown bits from the skillet. Once the liquid reduces by about a quarter, about 2 minutes, turn down the heat to a low simmer, then stir in the heavy cream and butter. Cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper, if needed. Return the chops to the skillet, cover, and cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, 2 to 4 minutes.
• After simmering the grits for about 20 minutes, taste to make sure they are soft and the raw corn taste has cooked out. Grate the cheese on the large holes of a box grater. Stir the cheese into the grits until melted, taste again and add up to 1 cup of the remaining chicken stock as needed if the mixture is too stiff. Add any additional seasoning as necessary. Pour the cheese grits onto a large platter with medium sides. Top with the pork chops and spoon over the pan sauce. Garnish with the scallions.

CREAMY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Trim the fat from the pork chops; brown in about 1 Tbsp oil. I like them very brown. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Whisk together the soup, milk and ranch mix and pour over the chops.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, 5 minutes or until done.
• Sprinkle with paprika and serve with mashed potatoes.

PORK CHOP MELTS

Steps:

• Turn on the grill. Season the chops on both sides with a good sprinkling of salt and pepper. Grill under a moderate heat for 12-16 minutes, turning once, until just cooked.
• Add the topping. Thinly slice the cheese (don't worry if it breaks up a bit). Spoon the apple sauce over the chops and top each one with a couple of slices of cheese. Slide back under the grill for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and tinged brown. Serve with mashed potatoes and a green veg such as leeks or broccoli, and with any melted cheesy bits from the bottom of the pan.

BLACK PUDDING - BLOOD SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 160°C/300°F/Gas Mark 2.
• Assemble meat grinder and prepare the casings: Choose long pieces of the casings so that you have more control over the size of the links that you wish to make.
• Soak the casings in cool water about 5 minutes (more soaking will make the casings very tender and prone to bursting) about an hour in advance of stuffing to remove the salt on the outer surface.
• Rinse under cool running water.
• To remove excess salt from the inside, hold one end of a casing in place on a faucet nozzle and turn on cold tap water to fill the casing with liquid.
• If you spot any holes in the casing at this time, discard or cut the damaged bit off.
• Remove from faucet and squeeze out water; cover the rinsed and drained casings and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Mix all of the ingredients together thoroughly, making sure that the seasonings are evenly distributed.
• Fill the casings and make links by twisting the sausage two or three turns at the points where you wish them to be (a 4-inch link is a good snack or lunch size, but smaller ones make good hors d'oeuvres).
• Place into an ovenproof dish with a cover, standing in a larger dish half filled with water.
• Bake for 1½ hours.
• Allow to cool.
• Fry with bacon and eggs for breakfast or use as a part of a Mixed Grill.
