Porkchopssantafe Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the salt and pepper and dried thyme and rub on the pork chops. Press a sprig of thyme into each chop. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the pork chops, thyme-side down. Sear 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until just browned and the interior is no longer bright pink. Transfer to a warm plate.
• Pour off the fat from the skillet, return to the heat, add the stock and wine, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a broiler or light a charcoal grill.
• In a small nonreactive bowl, whisk together the syrup, vinegar, sugar and cinnamon.
• Place a small pan over medium heat, add the pecans and about 2 tablespoons of the maple-syrup sauce and cook for a few minutes, until the nuts are glazed and fragrant. Transfer the nuts to a plate and spread them out to cool. Transfer the cooled nuts to a cutting board, chop roughly and set aside.
• Season the pork chops aggressively with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil. When the broiler is hot, or the coals are covered with gray ash and you can hold your hand 5 inches above them for only 1 to 2 seconds, broil or grill the meat for approximately 7 minutes per side. Brush with some of the remaining maple glaze every 2 or 3 minutes, turning them frequently to prevent the sugar from burning.
• When the chops are cooked, remove from the broiler or grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Meanwhile, slice the cored apples into thick rounds, drizzle with olive oil, season lightly with salt and pepper and place on the broiler pan or grill until tender when pierced with a fork. These, too, should be brushed with the maple glaze and turned frequently.
• Serve chops with the apple slices, sprinkled with pecans and candied ginger.

Steps:

• Season the chops with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the pork chops until browned on both sides.
• In a 13x9x2-inch baking dish, combine the rice, water, tomato sauce and taco seasoning mix. Stir to combine.
• Place the pork chops over the rice mixture and top with the green pepper. Cover the dish and bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
• Uncover and top with the Monterey Jack cheese. Return to oven and let cheese melt.

Steps:

• Sprinkle half the chili powder evenly onto both sides of chops.
• Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chops; cover. Cook 3 min. on each side or until done (145ºF). Remove from skillet; cover to keep warm.
• Add broth, corn and remaining chili powder to skillet; stir. Bring to boil. Stir in rice; top with chops. Pour salsa over chops; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 5 min. or until rice is tender. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, 5 min.
