Chipotle And Honey Glazed Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Purée chipotles in adobo with garlic and honey in a blender until smooth. Pat pork dry and season with salt. Put pork on a foil-lined baking sheet and spread with chile glaze to coat well. Roast in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer registers 155°F, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes on a cutting board before cutting into thin slices.

Steps:

• Combine the chiles and adobo sauce, garlic, bay leaves, cumin, thyme, cinnamon and 5 teaspoons salt in a food processor and pulse to make a paste. Transfer to a shallow dish and add the onion, tomatoes, cilantro and 1/3 cup olive oil; mix well. Add the pork chops, turning to coat; cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Meanwhile, remove the pork chops from the marinade, scraping off the excess, and transfer to a plate. Transfer the marinade to a skillet; add 1/4 cup water and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid simmers and the onions start sizzling, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside for basting. (You can also do this in a cast-iron skillet on the grill.)
• Brush the chops with olive oil and transfer to the grill. Cook until marked, 7 to 8 minutes, rotating the pork 45 degrees halfway through to create a crosshatch pattern and brushing with the liquid from the marinade. Flip and repeat, brushing with more marinade, including some pieces of onion and tomato. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Rinse chipotle chiles under running water. Slit them open and remove seeds. Pat chiles dry on a paper towel. Chop them and put them in a small bowl. Add honey, water and salt. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides and set aside. Add oil to pan. When hot, add pork chops and brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. If needed, brown chops in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan.
• Return all chops to skillet or a rimmed baking sheet and brush both sides with chipotle-honey glaze. Place in the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on thickness of chops, until they are cooked through. Watch closely as honey glaze scorches easily. Serve chops on a platter and drizzle with any leftover pan juices.

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine the maple syrup, orange juice concentrate and chipotle.
• Preheat grill pan. Sprinkle both sides of the chops with salt. Brush 1 side of chops generously with glaze. Place on grill pan glaze side down. Brush other side with glaze. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side over medium-high heat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Purée chipotles in adobo with garlic and honey in a blender until you have a smooth glaze.
• Pat pork dry and sprinkle with salt and allspice, rubbing the mixture into the meat.
• Put pork on a foil-lined baking sheet and spread with the glaze to coat well.
• Roast the pork in the middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer registers 155°F, about 20 minutes.
• Let pork stand 5 minutes on a cutting board before cutting into thin slices.
