Braised Pork With Peppers And Onions Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Trim fat off pork chops and season generously with seasoning salt.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a plate.
• Pour chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add mushrooms, onion, and butter; simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer 2 tablespoons of sauce to a small bowl.
• Add flour to the sauce in the bowl and mix with a fork until no lumps remain. Pour slurry back into the skillet and stir until combined with the sauce.
• Return pork chops to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove lid and continue cooking until gravy has reached desired thickness and pork chops are no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). For a thicker gravy, mix in more flour.

PORK CHOPS SMOTHERED WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Sprinkle the chops with liberal amounts of salt and black pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. When the oil begins to smoke, add the chops and brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• While the chops cook, slice the garlic, onion and peppers.
• Remove the chops from the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon oil. Then add the fennel seeds, garlic, onions and peppers and toss to soften, 5 minutes. Next, add the tomato paste and stir 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the wine, add the stock and stir. Nest the pork into the pan and move the peppers and onions on top of the meat. Place in the oven and roast to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes.

SKILLET PORK AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Slice the pork on an angle into 1-inch-thick pieces; season with salt. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the onion and bell peppers; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender and slightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add the pork and sear over high heat until browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to the plate with the onion and peppers.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, sage and tomato paste to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste turns brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the pepperoncini slices and their liquid, then pour in the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add the broth and return to a simmer. Arrange the pork in a single layer in the skillet; add the onion and peppers and sprinkle with cheese. Transfer to the oven and broil until the pork is cooked through, 4 to 7 minutes.

BRAISED PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium until shimmering. Add peppers, onion, garlic, cumin, bay leaves, a large pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are completely tender and the mixture is not runny or watery, about 30 minutes. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent any browning.
• Allow mixture to cool, then store in sealed containers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

HERB BRAISED PORK CHOPS WITH CREAMY ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• If using half-and-half or light cream, you may need to thicken.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Brown pork chops well on all sides--you may have to do this in shifts depending on how large your chops are
• Remove browned pork chops from pan and set aside.
• Add onion to the same pan and saute over medium-low heat until onions are translucent.
• Add the stock, thyme (or herb of choice) and the au jus mix; stir to blend.
• Add pork chops back to the pan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
• The au jus gravy mix added enough salt for my taste, but taste the liquid at this point to see if you need to add any to your own taste.
• TO MAKE GRAVY
• Remove pork chops to a plate and keep warm (I usually put them on an oven-proof plate and pop them in a 200F oven).
• Turn heat to medium-high, add the cream, stirring to blend it well, and allow the liquid to reduce by about one third. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
• Thicken if you want thicker gravy.
• SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS
• Brown chops as in original recipe. Set aside.
• Deglaze browning skillet with stock.
• Add stock, chopped onions, au jus mix and herb(s) to crock pot; stir.
• Lay chops on top of liquid.
• Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours (4-6 on high)**
• Remove chops and stir in cream.
• Turn cooker to high and thicken with either flour or cornstarch (see ingredient list for suggested thickening), if desired (but you'll probably have to).
• Cook on high about 10 minutes.
• **slow cooker times are approximate. Always check at MINIMUM time

BRAISED FENNEL WITH ONIONS AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fennel, onion, and bell pepper and saute 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want to make sure all of the veggies get a chance to be on the bottom of the pan. At this stage, you will have a little bit of caramelization, but if you see too much browning your heat is probably too high.
• Place the fennel seeds on a cutting board and gently press on them with the back of a chef's knife or rolling pin. You want to lightly break the seeds to release their flavor but not break them to bits or powder. Add broth and next four ingredients (broth through garlic).
• Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in basil and fennel fronds.

PORK LOIN BRAISED IN WINE AND RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the seasoning salt, black pepper, minced garlic and pinch allspice.
• Cut small slits in the loin about 3/4-inch deep and stuff with the halved garlic cloves.
• Rub the loin with the seasonings on all sides.
• Place in a glass dish, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove from the fridge and let the loin rest on top of the counter to come down to almost room temperature before browning.
• Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• Add in the pork loin and brown on all sides (this should take about 10-15 minutes) remove to a plate.
• Add in onions (adding in more oil if needed) saute for about 10 minutes.
• Add in chopped garlic and red bell peppers; saute for about 5 minutes.
• Add in wine, crushed tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaves, button mushrooms and marjoram; mix to combine with a wooden spoon.
• Add in the browned pork loin (fat side-up) and all the drippings from the plate; bring to a boil.
• Cover with an oven-proof tight fitting lid and place in oven to cook for about 45-60 minutes, or until the pork is tender (might take longer than 1 hour).
• Transfer the loin to a serving plate and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
• *NOTE* although this next step is only optional, I prefer to reduce the sauce slightly, but you do not have to do this, just serve the sauce as is without reducing.
• Place the Dutch oven on top of the stove and boil the sauce (uncovered) to reduce slightly while the pork is resting (about 15 minutes).
• Slice the pork and drizzle the sauce on top, pass the rest of the sauce at the table.
• Delicious!

Serving Suggestion: On the side, try steamed broccolini, buttered noodles or orzo pasta, or roasted potatoes. And to vary the recipe, try using bone-in chops, or using white wine, chicken broth, or vegetable broth instead of red wine. You can also add herbs, like thyme or rosemary. And you can swap other vegetables for the peppers - try green and yellow zucchini
