Pork Chops Monterey Recipes

Steps:

• Place pork chops in an 11x7-in. microwave-safe dish coated with cooking spray; top with onion. Combine the chili sauce, brown sugar and lemon juice; pour over chops. Cover and microwave on high for 15 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. , Meanwhile, cook rice according to package directions. Serve with pork chops.

Steps:

• Heat the oil over med-low heat in a large skillet. Place the chops in the skillet and top with the onions. Place a lid on the skillet but do not cover completely. Cook until about 2/3 done.
• While the chops cook, stir together the remaining ingredients. Pour over the meat and replace the lid leaving it cracked to allow excess steam to escape as before.
• Cook until juices run clear and the sauce becomes a bit thicker like a glaze. Serve with long-grain rice.
• NOTE: The original recipe was cooked in a microwave. Here are those directions. Place the pork chops in an 11x9 glass baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray; top with onions. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the chops. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 15 minutes or until meat juices run clear. I don't know that I would cook these chops in the microwave for fear they'd be tough.

Steps:

• For the grits: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the bacon and onions until the bacon is chewy and the onions are translucent, about 1 minute. Pour in the grits and add the chicken broth. Stir together and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 40 minutes. Add the cream and cayenne, stirring them into the grits. Cover the pot and keep cooking over very low heat, stirring occasionally to keep them from sticking, until the grits are tender but still have a bite to them, another 20 to 30 minutes.
• Just before serving, stir in the cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• For the pork chops: Melt the butter with the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. (They'll finish cooking in the skillet later.) Remove the pork chops to a plate.
• Put the skillet back on the heat, add the Applesauce and pour in the wine and vinegar. Cook until the liquid reduces by half, about 5 minutes. Pour in the maple syrup, stir it in and allow it to come to a bubble. Add the pork chops to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for another 20 minutes.
• To serve, spoon a generous helping of grits onto a plate. Lay a pork chop on top of the grits, and then spoon the apples over the top. Be sure to get a little extra pan sauce onto the plate.
• Throw the apples, apple juice and lemon juice into a pan and bring it to the boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat and simmer until the apples are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir through the sugar and mix until melted. Add the cinnamon and stir through.
• Puree the mixture in a food processor, blender or food mill. If not using right away, leave to cool and then refrigerate.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the pork chops all over with salt and the Cajun seasoning. Pour the flour into a shallow bowl. Dredge the chops in the flour, turning to coat, and tap off any excess. Reserve the remaining flour. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chops; cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the butter, onion, thyme and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour to the skillet and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by one-third, about 2 minutes. Add the buttermilk and return the chops to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the sauce is thickened and the chops are just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with biscuits.

Steps:

• In large skillet, heat oil on high heat. Add chops and brown one one side (about 3-4 minutes), then turn. Remove to plate.
• To skillet, add onion, garlic and spices and sauté, stirring occasionally until softened. Add tomatoes with liquid and corn kernels, stirring occasionally.
• Add chops back to skillet. Bring all to boil, then reduce heat, cover partially, and simmer 30-40 minutes or until chops are done. Taste to correct seasoning and add pepper and cilantro, if desired.
• Serve with rice (spoon tomato and corn sauce over the top) and sprinkle with grated Monterey Jack cheese if desired.

• Uncover and top with the Monterey Jack cheese. Return to oven and let cheese melt.

Steps:

• Take each pork chop and place it between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound it out with the flat side of a meat hammer to about 1/4 inch in thickness. Continue with each chop.
• Dredge the flattened chops in corn meal. Heat oil in 12 inch sauté pan and sear on both sides, approximately 2 to 3 minutes each side. Remember your chop is very thin and will only take a short time to cook. Place on a plate until all the pieces are done.
• Top the pork "tortilla" with refried beans, a little chili and some cheddar cheese and place in an oven that has been preheated to 350°F just until the cheese melts and the chili and beans are heated through, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove to warm plates. Have all the toppings ready and allow your guests to garnish their "tostada" as they wish.

Steps:
