Plum Chutney With Pork Recipes

Steps:

• Make the brine: Combine 1 cup water, the gin, vermouth, 1/2 cup each sugar and salt, the rosemary, bay leaves and coriander in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in 6 cups water and 2 cups ice; let cool to room temperature. Pour the brine over the pork chops in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the chutney: Combine the red onion, the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the vinegar, mustard seeds, ginger, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook 3 minutes, then add half of the plums and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the plums are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining plums and cook until the first batch of plums starts falling apart and the second batch is just tender, about 8 more minutes. Stir in the mustard and let cool to room temperature. Preheat a grill to medium high. Drain the pork chops, discarding the brine, and pat dry. Sprinkle with pepper and grill, turning once, until grill marks appear and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with the chutney. You can make the plum chutney up to 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate, then bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper; cook in the hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove pork chops to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir the garlic in the skillet just until fragrant, 10 to 20 seconds. Pour in the soy sauce, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and cloves; bring to a boil. Stir the mixture until the brown sugar dissolves; add the plums. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer the mixture until the sauce has thickened and the plums are very soft, about 45 minutes. Mash the plums with a potato masher to an applesauce-like texture. Place the pork chops back into the pan and cook in the sauce until no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes. A meat thermometer inserted into the middle of a chop should read 145 degrees (63 degrees C).

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.
