Pork Chops Fricasse With Green Plaintains Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Puree the cilantro, mint, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a blender. Transfer 1/4 cup of the mojo sauce to a large bowl. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and add to the bowl; toss to coat and set aside.
• Bring 3/4 cup water, the rice, beans and 1/2 cup of the remaining mojo sauce to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat (reserve the remaining mojo sauce for topping). Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
• Remove the pork chops from the marinade and arrange on a broiler pan (or a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet). Add the plantain halves cut-side up to the pan. Broil until the pork and plantains are golden and the pork is cooked through, about 7 minutes.
• Top the pork with the remaining mojo sauce and cilantro. Serve with the rice, plantains and lime wedges.

Steps:

• In a large pan, brown the pork chops ( in batches) with the olive oil....about 2 mins a side
• add the rest of the ingredients, cover and simmer for about 30 mins....Yes, it's that simple...
• I served with jasmine rice and plantains....flavors are outrageous...

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the shallots, garlic, thyme, oregano, and parsley. Rub the mixture all over the pork and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the pork loin in a roasting pan and bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove pork from the oven, and when cool enough to touch, spread the paste all over the loin. Return the pork to the oven and cook until it has developed a crunchy crust on the outside and is cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 25 to 30 more minutes. Remove the pork from the roasting pan to let the pork rest. Pour the juices from the meat into a fat separator. Add the meat juices only, not the fat, and the chicken stock to a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until reduced to the consistency of a sauce. Meanwhile, start the Mushroom Fricassee.
• To serve, cut the pork loin into slices, pour the Mushroom Fricassee and sauce over, and serve immediately.
• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add all of the sliced mushrooms and saute until just beginning to brown. Add the tomato paste and stir to incorporate. Season, to taste, with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and pepper. Spoon over the pork slices.

Steps:

• In a kettle heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it brown the pork, patted dry, in batches, transferring it as it is browned to a large bowl. Pour off the fat from the kettle, return the pork to the kettle with the onion, the celery, the bay leaf, the broth, and the water, and simmer the mixture, uncovered for 1 1/2 hours, or until the pork is tender. Add the carrots, simmer the mixture, covered for 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender, and transfer the pork and the carrots with tongs to a bowl. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl return the cooking liquid to the kettle, and boil it until it is reduced to about 3 cups.
• In a large heavy skillet cook the mushrooms in the butter over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid the mushrooms give off is evaporated, sprinkle the mixture with the flour, and cook it over moderately low heat, scraping up the brown bits, for 3 minutes. Stir in the cream, stirring until the mixture is combined well, add the mushroom mixture to the cooking liquid, and simmer the sauce, stirring, until it is thickened. Stir in the lemon juice, the pork, the carrots, salt and pepper to taste . The fricassee may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Stir in the parsley and serve the fricassee over the paprika rice.
