CIDER-BRINED PORK CHOPS WITH PERFECT PAN SAUCE



Cider-Brined Pork Chops with Perfect Pan Sauce image

This brine has a higher concentration of salt than most, allowing it to add flavor and moisture to your chops in as little as 30 minutes. If you have more time, brine them up to 4 hours for maximum flavor, but no longer or the pork will be too salty. Add the easy pan sauce to your repertoire and make it your own by using white wine or dark beer instead of cider and varying the herbs based on what you like and have on hand.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/3 cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
2 teaspoons whole coriander seeds
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 teaspoon allspice berries
2 bay leaves
4 fresh thyme sprigs
One 12-ounce bottle or can chilled hard cider (1 1/2 cups)
4 bone-in, center-cut pork chops, about 1 inch thick
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus more sprigs for garnish
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus more sprigs for garnish
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup hard cider
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the brine: combine the salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, coriander, mustard seeds, allspice berries, bay leaves, thyme and 1 1/2 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar and salt, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and pour in the cold cider. Let the brine cool to room temperature.
  • Put the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the brine. Press out excess air and seal tightly. Put the bag in a shallow container so it can lay flat and refrigerate for 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • Drain the chops, rinse and pat dry. Discard the brine.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the chops (work in batches if necessary; do not crowd the pan) and cook, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, 13 to 14 minutes. (If the chops are browning too quickly or the pan drippings start to burn, lower the heat.) Remove to a plate.
  • For the sauce: Discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and place over medium heat. Add the garlic, rosemary and thyme and cook until sizzling, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to make a paste. Whisk in the cider and bring to a simmer.
  • Simmer until very thick, about 1 minute. Add the stock, bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the cream and simmer to bring the sauce together, about 1 minute. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, vinegar and parsley. Season to taste with salt. Add the chops to the pan and simmer, turning occasionally, until just heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve garnished with fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs.

4 1/4 cups apple cider
3 tablespoons coarse salt
6 allspice berries
1 bay leaf
4 10-ounce bone-in center-cut pork rib chops
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
5 large leeks (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced
1 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, halved, each half cut into 4 wedges
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
1/3 cup Calvados
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Meanwhile, rewarm leeks, thinning with 1 to 3 tablespoons water if necessary. Bring apples to simmer. Spoon leeks onto plates. Top with pork, then apples.

CIDER BRINED GRILLED STUFFED PORK CHOPS



Cider Brined Grilled Stuffed Pork Chops image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 bone-in, or boneless pork chops, about 2 pounds total
4 cups apple cider
2 cups oatmeal stout or other dark beer
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup raw sugar
1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
2 cups apple cider
1 1/2 apples (Pink Lady, Honey Crisps, or Cameo) cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick, grilled, about 1 minute each side, and diced
1 tablespoon mesquite honey
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Red Chili Caramelized Pecans, recipe follows
1/2 pound white cane sugar
1/4 cup water
1 pound whole pecans
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon red chili powder

Steps:

  • For the brine:
  • Combine all ingredients in a large container with a tight fitting lid.
  • Take the pork chops and insert a fillet knife into the side of each pork chop. Create a 2-inch slice along the side moving your knife along the inside of the chop creating a pocket. Be careful not to pierce the outer sides of the chop. Place the pork chops in the brine for anywhere from 1 hour or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
  • For the reduction:
  • Add the cider to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook the cider, skimming off any scum that comes to the surface, until is becomes syrupy and is reduced to about 1/4 cup.
  • For the stuffing:
  • Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Preheat grill to high.
  • Remove the pork chops from the brine, rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Stuff the cavity with the apples and grill for about 10 minutes on each side. Remove from grill to a serving platter and let rest for about 10 minutes. Brush with the cider reduction, sprinkle with the chopped caramelized pecans and enjoy!
  • In a heavy-bottomed pot, cook the sugar and water until the temperature reaches 275 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Add the pecans and stir to coat with the sugar. Once the sugar begins to caramelize add the vanilla extract and stir gently but constantly until fully caramelized. Pour onto a silpat lined baking sheet to let cool, then sprinkle with the red chili powder.

APPLE CIDER PORK POT ROAST



Apple Cider Pork Pot Roast image

Chunky apples, plus onion, thyme, and cider make this comforting pork braise especially appropriate for the holidays.

Provided by Sabrina Snyder

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (5-pound; 2.3 kg) boneless pork shoulder (6 pounds; 2.7 kg if bone-in)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, cut into 2-inch (5 cm) wedges
2 cups (475 ml) apple cider
2 tart apples (I like Granny Smith), cored and cut into 2-inch (5 cm) cubes
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • Season the pork with the salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork and brown well on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Remove the pork and add the onion wedges to the pot. Cook for a few minutes, letting them get a little color but being careful not to let them burn.
  • Return the pork to the pot, placing it on the bed of onions. Add the cider and 1 cup (235 ml) water and bring to a simmer, then wedge the apple pieces under the meat among the onions. Toss in the thyme.
  • Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook for 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender, shreds easily, and is a deep brown color; the apples will have caramelized.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND CIDER



Pork Chops With Apples and Cider image

There are some culinary combinations that cannot be improved upon, and apples and pork is surely one of them. This recipe calls for pan-frying boneless pork chops and serving them with butter-browned apples and a Normandy-style sauce made with cider and cream. It makes for a perfect cold weather meal.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
3 cloves
4 allspice berries
2 tablespoons roughly chopped sage
1 and 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
6 boneless pork chops, 4 ounces each, about 1/2-inch thick
2 large apples
2 tablespoons butter
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 cup hard cider, plus 2 tablespoons
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 and 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons potato starch dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water
3 tablespoons crème fraîche
1 tablespoon Calvados, apple brandy or Cognac, optional
2 tablespoons finely cut chives
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Make the spice salt: Put peppercorns, cloves, allspice and sage in a spice mill or mortar and grind to a powder. Remove to a bowl and stir in salt. Season pork chops on both sides with salt mixture. (There will be some salt mixture remaining; use it to season the sauce, Step 4.) Cover and leave chops at room temperature to absorb seasonings for at least 30 minutes.
  • Peel, quarter and core apples, then cut each apple into 12 wedges. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a wide skillet and raise heat to medium-high. Add apple wedges in one layer and brown gently on one side, about 2 minutes. Brown on the other side and cook for 2 minutes more, or until apples are cooked through but still firm. Remove apples from pan and keep warm.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to pan and swirl to melt. Dust pork chops with flour, and place in pan and brown gently for about 4 minutes per side. Adjust heat if necessary to keep pork from cooking too quickly. Remove chops and keep warm on a platter in a low oven. Discard remaining butter.
  • Add ½ cup cider to pan, raise heat to high and cook down to a syrup. Add mustard and chicken broth, and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Add potato starch and stir with a wire whisk as the sauce thickens. Stir in crème fraîche. Season to taste with remaining spiced salt. Add 2 tablespoons cider and the Calvados, if using. Cook for 1 minute more.
  • Spoon sauce over the chops, then spoon the apples around the platter. Sprinkle with chives and parsley.
