MAPLE MUSTARD PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Make the sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add in bacon, onion, and garlic; cook until golden brown, 4-5 minutes; stir in tomato paste; cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in maple syrup, mustard, and vinegar; let the sauce simmer until thick and flavorful, about 10 minutes; taste for seasoning, add salt and pepper if needed, also more vinegar.
• You can serve the sauce hot or at room temperature; can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated, covered; bring the sauce to room temperature before serving.
• The chops: place the pork chops in a baking dish and season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with the mustard powder, using about 1 teaspoon per side and rubbing it onto the meat with a fork or your fingertips.
• Drizzle the soy sauce over the chops, patting it onto the mustard with a fork to make a flavorful paste.
• Place the maple syrup and oil in a small bowl and stir to mix.
• Pour this mixture over the chops, turning to coat both sides, and let marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for 30 minutes.
• Set up grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
• When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate; drain the marinade from the chops and discard the marinade.
• Arrange the chops on the hot grate, placing them on a diagonal to the bars.
• Grill the chops until cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chops.
• Rotate the chops a quarter turn after 2 minutes to create nice grill marks.
• When ready to turn, the chops will be nicely browned on the bottom; test for doneness with instant-read thermometer side-ways into a chop; internal temp should be about 160°.
• Transfer the grilled chops to a platter; let rest for 2 minutes.
• Serve the chops with the Maple-Mustard Barbecue Sauce.

MAPLE MUSTARD BARBECUED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat grill pan or nonstick griddle pan over medium high heat. Preheat electric table top grills to high. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine maple syrup, mustard, cider, onion, allspice and cumin in a small saucepan and cook together over moderate heat for 5 minutes until sauce begins to thicken a bit.
• Coat chops lightly in oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook chops on hot grill pan or indoor grill 3 minutes on each side. Baste chops liberally with sauce, cook 2 or 3 minutes more. Transfer chops to a baking sheet. Baste again with sauce and transfer to a hot oven to finish cooking them. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until your apples are ready to come off the grill pan.
• Wash apples but do not core or peel. Coat apple slices with a drizzle of oil. Season with grill seasoning or salt and pepper. Cover grill pan or indoor tabletop grill with as many pieces of apple as possible. As the apples get tender, pull them off and replace with more slices. Apples should cook 3 minutes on each side, you don't want them too soft, just tender.
• Platter chops with apples along side and serve.

MAPLE MUSTARD PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Add pork to oil/butter in skillet. Lightly brown in batches. It will finish cooking in the sauce so don't worry about cooking through. Remove from skillet as it browns.
• Combine water, maple syrup, mustard, salt and pepper in skillet and whisk till hot and bubbley. Add pork back in to sauce and cook over med-low heat for 20 minutes or till cooked through. The flour from the pork will thicken the sauce.
• We like to serve it with rice-a-roni and a veggie.
