SPICY & SWEET PORK CHOP STEAKS FOR TWO

Steps:

• Chop the onion, and the garlic if you are using fresh garlic and not the jarred minced version.
• In a bowl mix the water, onion, garlic, jam, salsa and salt together until well mixed.
• It's okay to taste it a little bit so that you can see if you need to add more of something, but don't over-do it!
• Next take out the pork.
• Leave the chops whole, but with a knife cut random areas so that the mix's juices that you made will go through the pork.
• In any cooking pot with a lid (that will allow you to put two pork chops into it)- throw the sauce into the pot.
• Place the pork chops also into the pot.
• With a spoon dig up some of the sauce in the pan and put some of it on the top of the pork chops.
• Turn your stove on with a medium to high heat, until the sauce starts to heat up.
• Then lower the heat enough (medium heat), and now cover, and allow to cook well, flipping it over every 8-10 minutes.
• Remember to keep putting the sauce on the sides of the pan on top of the pork every time you flip them over.
• Don't let the sauce burn into the bottom of the pot.
• When done, the sauce should not be too watery.
• Top with the sauce that you made to cook the pork with into a plate.
• Serve with rice!
• My husband loves this quick to make and cook dish!
• Note: If you want to add more pork for more people just increase the salsa and jam.
• And add the rest of the ingredients to your taste.

STICKY GARLIC PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, garlic, rice vinegar, and fish sauce in a bowl for the marinade. Add a splash of soy sauce and a plop of ketchup. Finish off with black pepper and hot sauce.
• Pour 1/2 of the marinade into a baking dish and lay pork chops over marinade. Pour the remaining marinade on top and toss pork chops until well coated. Wrap with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, flipping chops every 30 minutes, 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove chops to a plate, scraping any excess marinade back into the baking dish.
• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place chops in the hot oil. Cook until outsides are nicely charred and meat springs back when lightly prodded, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chops to a plate to rest.
• Pour the marinade into the skillet. Raise heat to medium-high. Cook until marinade is reduced and sticky, 3 to 5 minutes. Return pork chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook pork chops, flipping and basting occasionally, until the centers are slightly pink and sauce is to your desired degree of stickiness, 6 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork should read about 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Plate each pork chop and spoon a portion of the sticky garlic sauce on top.

BRINED SWEET AND SPICY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients for brine in a large non-reactive container, making sure salt and sugar are dissolved well. Place pork chops in brine and place in refrigerator overnight.
• Once you are ready to cook, rinse pork chops and pat dry. Season with salt and cracked black pepper (make sure not to add too much salt because the pork chops absorb salt from the brine as well.).
• Heat a skillet and melt the butter. Once the pan is hot, add pork chops and cook until done, adding more butter if needed. Once pork chops are done, remove from skillet and set aside.
• Add jalapeño strips and cook for about 2 minuted to release the flavor. Add more butter if needed.
• Add pineapple chunks, reserving the juice. Add grape tomatoes. Cook for about 1 minute.
• Add half the pineapple juice to the skillet. In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch with the remaining pineapple juice. Once the mixture in the skillet starts to lightly simmer, add the cornstarch mixture and let the sauce thicken.
• Serve and enjoy!

SWEET AND SPICY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients above salt in a bowl, heat for about 30 seconds in the microwave and combine.
• Place pork chops on grill over medium high heat, season with salt and pepper and top with sauce. Grill about 5 minutes on each side, re-basting often with sauce.
• You can also cook these in the oven, or on the George Foreman.
• *For a kid friendly sauce omit the adobo sauce, I set a small bowl aside for my son without the adobo sauce and make sauce with the added kick for my husband and I.

SWEET N SPICY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Line large broiler pan with foil (if not using heavy duty foil. line it twice, makes for easy clean up) Also. you just need the bottom of the pan, not the rack.
• Place chops in pan, and season heavily with, pepper, and garlic (and note I mean HEAVY). Lightly salt, if desired. Then top with about 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Place under broiler, (if using gas - use 2nd from top slot, if electric, either 2nd from top, or 3rd). If chops are really thick, for gas broiler, put on bottom slot.
• Cook about 10 - 15 minutes, until sugar is bubbly and turning quite dark. The dark color is mostly just the sugar getting brown, not the meat.
• Turn chops, then repeat with spices and sugar (yes another 2 tablespoons), and cook another 10 or 15 minutes, till done. Just keep watching them to make sure they don't burn, but remember the sugar is going to bubble and get dark, so account for that--just make sure pork is cooked totally through (or to the doneness you prefer). Cooking time is of course going to vary based on how thick your chops are.
• Hope you enjoy.

SWEET AND SPICY CHILI PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork, cooking 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove pan from heat and let pork stand for 30 seconds.
• While pork cooks, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, chile paste, hoisin and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
• Pour sauce over the pork, scraping the pan to loosen the fond. Turn the pork over to coat. (The recipe does not call for this, but I often will return over low heat just to make sure the sauce is heated through, if there is not enough residual heat in the skillet).
• Serve garnished with the green onion slices.
• I had a couple of thick boneless chops sitting around, so I cut them into thin, flat slices and cooked as above; then doubled the sauce ingredients, tossed it all together and served with saffron rice. A nice variation.
