Guinness Glazed Pork Chops Recipe 435

GUINNESS GLAZED PORK CHOPS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Bring stout, sugar, coriander seeds, peppercorns, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a 2quart nonreactive saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then continue boiling (keep an eye on it and reduce heat to keep it from boiling over) until glaze is syrupy and reduced to about 1/2 cup, 20 to 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and discard solids. Preheat broiler. Pat chops dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Divide glaze between 2 small bowls and set 1 aside for use later. Brush both sides of chops with glaze (from remaining bowl) and arrange on rack of a broiler pan. Broil 5 inches from heat, 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium rare. Note: I use a meat thermometer to check for doneness-- Lamb about 140°F and Pork about 145-150°F. Transfer chops to a platter and drizzle with reserved glaze.

GUINNESS & HONEY GLAZED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• THE GLAZE: Put the Guinness, honey and sugar into a pan, and reduce by almost half to form a sweet, syrupy glaze, then allow to cool.
• Heat the oven to 200ºC/fan 180ºC/gas 6.
• Season the pork with pepper and salt, if you want, place on a baking tray, and roast for 20 minutes. Then turn the heat down to 160ºC/fan 140ºC/gas 3. Remove the pork from the oven and brush all over with most of the glaze (reserving a few tablespoons), cook for a further 40-50 minutes, brushing and basting the pork as it cooks until it's beautifully caramelised and glazed.
• Remove the pork from the roasting tray and leave to rest.
• Pour the remaining glaze into the roasting tray, then add the wine, Champagne or water. Place the pan on the heat and bring everything to the boil. Simmer for a few minutes until you have a thick gravy.
• Carve the pork into thin slices and place on top of the colconnan (see Colconnan recipe #123663). Glaze with the Guinness syrup, drizzle a little on the plates and finish with a sprig of parsley.
• My Notes: I really don't think you could get any clearer instructions than Kevin Dundon's. Yet the recipe is far from prescriptive. And I just love his catering for varied tastes in his "Season the pork with pepper and salt, if you want" instruction! And the option of using "wine, Champagne or water". I'll be looking closely at any more of his recipes I come across.

GUINNESS GLAZED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Trim fat from chops. Place chops in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For the marinade, stir together the stout, onion, honey mustard, garlic, and caraway seed; pour over chops. Close bag. Marinate chops in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
• Remove chops; pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until marinade is reduced by about half. Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper. Arrange preheated coals around a drip pan in a grill with a cover. Test for medium heat above the pan. (Hold your hand, palm side down, in the same place where the chops will cook. count ?one thousand one, one thousand two,? etc. Being able to keep your hand there for a count of four is equal to medium.) Place chops on grill rack directly over drip pan. Cover and grill for 30 to 35 minutes or until the juices run clear, brushing chops frequently with marinade during the last 10 minutes of grilling. Discard any remaining marinade. Makes 4 servings.
• To broil: Prepare marinade and chops as directed, except place chops on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil with surface of chops 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 18 to 22 minutes or until juices run clear, turning once and brushing frequently with marinade the last 10 minutes of broiling. Discard any remaining marinade.

HONEY-GLAZED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
• Coat a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add chops to the hot skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
• While the chops are browning, combine brown sugar and honey in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until brown sugar has softened or melted, about 20 seconds. Stir to combine.
• Transfer browned chops to the prepared baking dish and spoon 1/2 of the honey glaze evenly over top.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, turn over, and spread the remaining honey glaze over top. Bake until no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
