Grilled Pork Chops With Plum Ginger Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork chops generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the pork chops until lightly charred with strong grill marks, about 6 minutes. Flip and continue to grill until just slightly pink near the bone, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer the pork chops to a cutting board to rest for about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the plums with 2 teaspoons of the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, flipping once, until softened with grill marks, about 2 minutes per side. Cut into wedges.
• Toss the arugula and parsley with the lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 plates and top with the plum wedges. Serve with the pork chops.

Steps:

• In a shallow container, mix together orange juice, soy sauce, ginger, orange zest, garlic, chile paste, and salt. Add pork chops, and turn to coat evenly. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Turn the pork chops in the marinade occasionally.
• Preheat grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Grill pork chops for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a medium (10-inch) ovenproof saute pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add the plums, apple, brown sugar, orange juice, Port, cinnamon, star anise, mace, and salt. Bring to a boil on top of the stove, place in the oven, and roast for 25 to 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and syrupy.
• Remove from the oven and discard the star anise and cinnamon stick. (Be careful; I wrap a kitchen towel or oven mitt around the handle of the pan to remind myself that it's very hot!) Mash the fruit roughly with a dinner fork. Serve at room temperature or cold with cheese and crackers.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the five-spice powder, brown sugar and cayenne in a small bowl. Butterfly the pork: Slice lengthwise down the center, stopping about ½ inch before cutting all the way through. Open the pork like a book and flatten slightly with your hands. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on top and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet or a skillet until ½ inch thick. Season with salt and black pepper, then rub all over with the five-spice mixture; set aside. (This can be done up to 2 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
• Make the dressing: Whisk the vinegar, honey, soy sauce, mustard and ginger in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup vegetable oil until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Brush the pork with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Grill until well marked and just cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.
• Toss the plums and scallions with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill, turning, until lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the cutting board.
• Combine the cabbage, snow peas, carrots, bean sprouts, mint and cashews in a serving bowl. Chop the pork, plums and scallions and add to the bowl along with the dressing; season with salt and black pepper and toss.

Steps:

• Quarter and pit plums and mince garlic. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown pork chops about 2 minutes on each side, transferring to a plate. Add garlic and gingerroot to skillet and sauté, stirring constantly, 30 seconds. Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and anise and bring to a simmer. Return pork chops to skillet and arrange plums around them. Simmer mixture, covered, over moderately low heat 50 minutes, or until meat is very tender. Transfer chops to a platter and, if necessary, simmer sauce, uncovered, until thickened slightly. Discard star anise, if used. Pour sauce over chops and garnish with scallion and plum.
