Pork With Blueberry Herb Sauce Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH SAVORY BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Salt and pepper both sides of each pork chop. Heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in an oven-proof skillet big enough to hold all four pork chops.
• Brown the pork chops, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the chops from the pan and transfer to an ovenproof platter; place in oven. Remove when the pork is just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
• While the pork chops are in the oven, prepare the sauce. Heat a tablespoon of oil on medium high heat in the same skillet you used to brown the chops.
• Sauté the shallots until soft and golden. Add the wine and water and let boil down for 1-2 minutes, scraping up the brown bits.
• Add the blueberries. When the skins begin to burst, add the lemon zest and juice. Let the sauce continue to boil and thicken until the pork chops are ready.
• Once the pork chops are ready, remove the pan from the oven and place the pork chops on a cutting board and let them rest while finishing the sauce.
• Turn the heat off under the saucepan and stir in the butter until it is completely melted. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt.
• Serve the pork chops either whole or sliced, topped with the blueberry sauce and fresh parsley.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BLUEBERRY-BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Sprinkle salt and cracked pepper on pork. Heat oil in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook quickly on both sides to sear, about 1 minute per side. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes; turn pork over and continue cooking until no longer pink inside, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, combine blueberries, balsamic vinegar, and sugar in a small pot. Combine water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and add to the pot. Bring glaze to a boil, about 5 minutes, and stir until slightly thickened. Reduce heat and simmer until pork is finished, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• Serve pork with accompanying glaze.
