Pork Chops With Pumpkin Grits And Swiss Chard Recipes

Steps:

• Slice the stems into 1-inch pieces and reserve. Stack the chard leaves into a pile. Roll together into a bundle and slice into 1/2-inch ribbons.
• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and saute until browned, rendering the fat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Add the red pepper flakes and the chard stems, cook for 3 to 4 minutes and then season with salt and pepper.
• Begin to add the chard ribbons in batches. Once the chard wilts down, add the next batch. Stir occasionally until completely tender, about 5 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and serve.

Steps:

• Mix water, soy sauce, vegetable oil, lemon pepper seasoning, and minced garlic in a deep bowl; add pork chops and marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove pork chops from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook the pork chops on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Casserole -- First remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. Brush well with 1 tablespoon olive oil and then season well with salt, pepper and paprika on both sides.
• Next, spray the casserole dish with a non stick spray and add the swiss chard and top with the sliced onions. Add some salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil (1 tablespoon). Lightly toss. Then top with the chicken broth and the 4 pork chops.
• NOTE: If you want you could pan sear the pork chops first if you want as one reviewer mentioned, but I don't. But if would give a nice color to the chops if you prefer.
• Cheese -- Sprinkle the cheeses on top of the swiss chard and onions, around the pork chops.
• Potatoes -- In a small bowl add the potatoes, remaining olive oil, salt, pepper and dried thyme and then add them on top of the swiss chard and cheese around the pork chops.
• Bake -- 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes until the chops are done.
• Garnish -- I love to put a good balsamic vinegar on the table so each person can just drizzle a little on if they want. For me the flavor is amazing.
• Just Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Prepare Swiss chard:
• Cook shallots and garlic in butter in an ovenproof 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add chard stems and center ribs and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add leaves and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer chard to a heavy saucepan and wipe out skillet.
• Cook pork chops:
• Pat chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chops, about 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer skillet to oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally 2 inches into meat registers 155°F, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer chops with tongs to a platter, leaving fat in skillet, and cover chops loosely with foil to keep warm.
• Make sauce:
• Sauté shallots in fat remaining in skillet over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add wine and deglaze by boiling over high heat, scraping up brown bits, until reduced by half. Add cranberries and stock and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cranberries begin to burst, about 2 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and thyme and simmer, stirring, until berries are collapsed, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter until incorporated, then season with salt and pepper.
• Assemble dish:
• While sauce is cooking, reheat chard over moderate heat, stirring. Divide among 4 plates and top with chops, then spoon sauce over.

Steps:

• In a 4-quart pot, bring milk and 5 cups broth to a boil over medium-high. Gradually whisk in polenta. Continue to whisk until polenta thickens. Reduce heat to low, season with salt and pepper, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until cooked, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, flatten pork pieces into medallions between the palms of your hands. Season pork with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil over medium-high. Add half the pork and cook until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil; repeat with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and pork.
• Return skillet to heat and add 1 teaspoon oil, onions, chard stems, and cup broth. Cook, scraping up browned bits, until vegetables begin to soften, 5 minutes (reduce heat to prevent burning as needed). Add chard leaves and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar, 3/4 cup broth, and pork with any accumulated juices; cook until liquid has almost evaporated, 4 minutes.
• Pour 4 cups polenta into a lightly oiled 8-inch square baking dish; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for later use. Stir butter into remaining polenta. Season pork and vegetables with salt and pepper and serve over polenta.
