Pork Chops With Pineapple Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the onion in a bowl of cold water, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, puree 3/4 cup pineapple with the lime juice, peanut butter, fish sauce and jalapeno until smooth. Toss the cucumber and the remaining 1 1/4 cups pineapple in a bowl, then add the pureed pineapple dressing and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pat the pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat, then add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Lay 3 chops in the pan and sear until golden on one side, about 3 minutes; flip and finish cooking, 1 to 2 more minutes. Transfer the chops to a plate and loosely cover with foil. Repeat with the remaining chops, adding the remaining 2 tablespoons oil as necessary.
• Drain the onion and add to the pineapple relish. Serve with the pork chops.

Steps:

• Place pork chops in a large resealable container and season liberally with rub. Pour marinade over and seal. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
• While pork is marinating, combine pineapple, onion, serrano peppers, vinegar, brown sugar, pineapple juice, ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a slow, simmering boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes, until thickened, about 45 minutes total. Remove chutney from heat, top with golden raisins, and allow to cool slightly, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor charcoal grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove pork from the refrigerator; discard remaining marinade.
• Cook pork chops on the preheated grill, making sure the coals are not too hot, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 4 to 8 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Top with chutney.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and brown the pork chops about 5 minutes on each side. Remove chops from the skillet, and set aside.
• Mix the chicken broth, soy sauce and vinegar into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Return the pork chops to the skillet, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove chops from the skillet, reserving broth mixture, and set aside.
• In a bowl, blend the brown sugar, cornstarch, and pineapple juice. Mix into the skillet with the chicken broth mixture. Bring to a boil. Serve with the cooked pork chops.

Steps:

• Combine the rice and 1 2/3 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, cut off a 2-inch piece of the pineapple and grate it on the coarse holes of a box grater into a large bowl. Stir in the ginger, vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder. Add the scallions and pork chops and turn to coat; let marinate at room temperature, 10 minutes. Rub the remaining pineapple with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Grill the pork chops until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Grill the scallions and pineapple, turning occasionally, until charred, about 3 minutes.
• Roughly chop the pineapple and scallions and transfer to a bowl. Add the red pepper flakes and a splash of soy sauce and toss. Serve the pork chops with the pineapple salsa and rice.

Steps:

• Toss together pineapple, onion, chile, thyme, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Grind coriander seeds in an electric coffee/spice grinder (or crush with flat side of a knife). Pat pork dry; sprinkle all over with coriander, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté pork, turning once, until well browned and just cooked through but still juicy, 6 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer pork to plates. Add pineapple mixture and rum to skillet and sauté, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Serve pork with relish.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the oil onion and green pepper. Saute until the vegetables are soft. Add the pineapple, the salt and the pepper. Cook over medium heat, uncovered, until the liquid reduces, about 30 minutes.
• Deglaze the saucepan with the vinegar and add the lime zest, mustard and garlic. Cook uncovered over low heat until the liquid is reduced again, about 20 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl, let cool then refrigerate, covered, until ready to use. Aloha!

Steps:

• For Pork Chops Brine: To brine pork, combine salt, sugar and the 4 cups water in a large glass or enamel bowl, mixing until dissolved.
• Add peppercorns, thyme and bay leaves and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
• Place pork chops in a large resealable ziplock bag, cover with brine and close tightly. Place the bag in a large bowl and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• To Finish Pork Chops: Preheat a barbecue grill to 400°F.
• Line a plate with paper towels. Using tongs, remove pork chops from the brine and set on the lined plate to absorb any liquid. (If the pork chops are damp, the meat will flame on the barbecue.) Discard the brine. Allow pork chops to come to room temperature, 15-20 minutes, then season with salt and black pepper and brush lightly with olive oil.
• Grill chops for 5 minutes, then turn them 45° and cook for another 5 minutes. Turn chops over, and grill for 5 minutes, then turn them 45° and grill for 5 minutes more. Insert a meat thermometer; once the meat reads 160°F, immediately remove chops from the heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• Fold pecans into the apple-pineapple relish. Divide the Brussels sprouts mixture between each of 4 plates. Place a pork chop over the sprouts and spoon a tablespoon of the apple mixture on top. Serve immediately.
• To Make Apple-Pineapple Relish: In a large bowl, toss apple with lemon juice until well coated. Add pineapple, rice vinegar and honey and set aside. This relish will keep (without the pecans, which are added just before serving) refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• For the Braised Brussels Sprouts: Line a small plate with a paper towel. In a medium frying pan on medium heat, cook bacon until lightly crispy, about 5 minutes. (If the meat begins to smoke, reduce the heat.) Remove bacon from the pan and drain on the lined plate. Carefully pour off some of the rendered fat, then add shallots and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in Brussels sprouts and cook for 2 more minutes, then add bacon and butter and toss lightly. Season with salt, black pepper and lemon juice. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Make marinade:
• In a saucepan combine marinade ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Cool marinade completely.
• Put chops in a large resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over them. Seal bag, pressing out excess air, and set in a shallow dish. Marinate meat, chilled, turning bag once or twice, overnight.
• Pour marinade into a saucepan and boil 5 minutes. Grill chops on an oiled rack set about 4 inches over glowing coals 7 to 8 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through, basting with marinade during last 5 minutes of cooking. (Alternatively, meat may be grilled in a ridged grill pan or broiled.)
• Serve pork chops with relish.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine hoisin, vinegar, soy, garlic and sesame oil.
• Place the chops in a shallow pan and pour the marinade over them. Refrigerate 2-3 hours.
• Preheat grill hot.
• Brush the green onions with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill until almost cooked through, 4-5 minutes, and finely slice.
• Place in a bowl and add the rest of the relish ingredients. Stir to combine.
• Remove the chops from the marinade, shaking off the excess and discard the marinade.
• Season chops with salt and pepper and grill until medium well.
• Arrange on a large serving platter and serve with relish alongside.
