Milk Braised Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, pepper, granulated onion and garlic, and herb seasoning in a zip-lock bag, add chops, and shake to coat. Remove chops to a plate and transfer remaining flour mixture to a small bowl and stir well into that 1/2 C of the milk.
• In a skillet large enough to hold the chops without crowding, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat and brown the chops about 3 minutes on each side. After the first side is browned, turn the chops, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms and continue browning for the 3 minutes.
• Add the oregano and rosemary and the flour-milk mixture and stir well. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occassionally.
• Add the remaining milk, stir and cover again. Cook for another 30 minutes, stirring occassionally.
• Remove chops to platter and stir the remaining sauce well (it has a slightly curdled appearance which is lessened by further stirring). Continue cooking until the sauce reduces to the desired consistency. 5 minutes of cooking will yield about 1/2 C of thick gravy.
• Pour gravy over chops, or serve on the side for rice or potatoes. Sprinkle gravy with parsley or scallions, if desired.

Steps:

• Combine the rosemary, sage, garlic, and salt and pepper in a small bowl and rub it all over the pork. Place the pork on a large plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a few hours.
• Place a medium heavy pan that will hold the roast somewhat snugly over medium heat and add the butter and oil. When the butter begins to foam, add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly golden on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. (Keep your eyes on the butter so it doesn't burn and reduce the heat a bit if needed.)
• Add 1 cup of the milk and stir to loosen the browned bits attached to the bottom of the pan. As soon as the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pan, and simmer until almost all the milk has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Add 1 more cup milk and continue cooking, basting and turning the meat a few times, until most of the milk has evaporated. Cook the pork in this manner, adding the milk 1/2 to 1 cup at a time, until it reads 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 hours. (The pork can be cooked up to this point 1 hour or so ahead. In that case, cook only until it reaches 155 degrees F, because it will keep on cooking as it sits in the hot pan juices.)
• Remove the lid and raise the heat to high. If no more milk is left in the pan, add 1/2 cup or so more. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to release the browned bits and turning the pork once or twice, until most of the milk has evaporated and the meat has a rich, golden brown color. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for about 10 minutes while you finish the sauce.
• Spoon off some of the fat from the pan. Add 1/3 cup water and stir quickly, over medium heat, scraping the bottom of the pan until only the brown glazed clusters of milk particles remain.
• Cut the meat into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve topped with a bit of the pan juices.

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and 1/4 cup salt in a shallow bowl; whisk in 3 cups water. Pierce the pork all over with a fork, then add to the bowl and soak 10 minutes. Remove and pat dry.
• Put the flour on a plate. Season the pork with pepper, then dredge in the flour. Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; add the pork and cook, undisturbed, until golden on the bottom, 5 minutes. Add the sage to the skillet; flip the pork chops so they rest on top of the sage. Scatter the garlic, lemon slices and pepperoncini around the pork. Cook, undisturbed, until golden on the other side, about 5 more minutes.
• Add the tomatoes, chicken broth and 1/2 cup water to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer, flipping the pork halfway through, until the liquid is reduced by half and the meat is tender, about 15 minutes. Serve with the couscous; top with the parsley.

Steps:

• Place pork in a container, and rub all over with chopped sage and chopped garlic. Cover, and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, bring to room temperature. Scrape off and discard sage and garlic; season generously with salt and pepper.
• In a deep, heavy casserole or Dutch oven fitted with a lid, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add pork loin, and brown very well on all sides, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine milk, half-and-half and cream. Bring to a boil, then shut off heat. Using a vegetable peeler, remove peel from lemons in long strips. Set peel aside, and reserve fruit for another use.
• When pork is browned, transfer it to a plate and discard fat that's in casserole. Reduce heat to medium, and add butter to pan. When it is foamy, add garlic cloves. Stir until lightly browned on edges. Add sage leaves, and stir to coat. Put pork back in casserole, and pour in enough of the warm milk mixture to come 1/2 to 2/3 up the sides of pork. Bring to a simmer, add lemon zest and season to taste with salt.
• Partly cover, and simmer until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees (about 15 to 30 minutes; cooking time will vary according to shape of roast and degree of browning). Liquid will form a skin and custard around pork. Shut off heat, and allow to cool. Cover, and refrigerate until shortly before serving.
• To serve, remove pork from milk mixture and carve into 1/8-inch slices. Meanwhile, place casserole over medium heat and reduce liquid to a soupy custard. While the liquid is still a little loose, return sliced pork to casserole and spoon sauce on top. Allow pork to heat through. Serve, spooning some custard, lemon zest and sage on top and sprinkling with coarse salt.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat. Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, if necessary, sear until brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork to a large plate or baking sheet.
• Pour off fat from skillet, and return to low heat. Return pork and any accumulated juices to skillet; add milk and thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer until pork is cooked through and tender, turning once, about 45 minutes.
• Transfer pork to a serving platter, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Return skillet to medium-high heat, and bring remaining liquid to a boil. Whisk together cornstarch and the water in a small bowl; whisk into liquid in skillet, and boil 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a blender or food processor. Add thyme leaves, and puree until smooth. Pour sauce over pork, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high until shimmering. Season pork all over with salt and pepper and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 12-15 minutes. Pour off excess fat from pot. Add sage, lemon peel, and milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Roast pork until very tender, 3 1/2-4 hours.
• Transfer meat to a serving platter. Discard lemon peel, then gently toss Swiss chard in remaining sauce in pot until wilted. Using tongs, transfer Swiss chard to platter alongside pork. Top both with remaining sauce and serve.

Steps:

• Spray skillet with non stick spray.
• brown chops on both sides, then add the water and all the spices.
• cover and simmer for 20 - 30 minutes until the chops are cooked thoroughly.
• take the chops out of the pan, set aside and keep warm.
• Combine milk and corn starch, cook in skillet until thick, stirring constantly.
• Place the chops on plates and pour the gravy over them.

Steps:

• Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper. In a 4-quart heavy kettle heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown pork on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Carefully add milk and cook pork, covered, at a bare simmer 2 hours. Continue to cook pork, partially covered, at a bare simmer until very tender, about 1 hour. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Season cooking liquid generously with salt and pepper and boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Thinly slice pork and transfer to a platter. Skim fat from cooking liquid and spoon liquid over pork.
