Spiced Pork Chops With Red Cabbage And Raisins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the rice, raisins and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, toss the cabbage, tomatoes and garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon curry powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread in a single layer, leaving some room in the middle for the pork.
• Rub the pork with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1 teaspoon curry powder. Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Add the pork to the baking sheet with the cabbage, transfer to the oven and roast until the cabbage is tender and a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest 2 minutes, then slice. Serve with the vegetables and rice. Season with pepper.

Steps:

Measure fat and, if less than 2 tablespoons, add enough vegetable oil to bring total to 2 tablespoons. Heat fat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook onion, stirring occasionally, until it begins to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add cabbage and turn with tongs until coated with fat. Stir in red-wine vinegar, water, sugar, caraway seeds, 3/4teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and braise cabbage over moderately low heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 25 to 35 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown seasoned chops, turning over once, 5 minutes total, and transfer to a shallow baking pan (1 inch deep). Season remaining 2 chops and brown in oil remaining in skillet in same manner, transferring to baking pan.

• In a mixing bowl combine the water, brown sugar, sea salt, apple juice concentrate, peppercorns, and thyme. Give it a good stir to dissolve the sugar and salt. Transfer the mixture to an extra-large re-sealable plastic bag. Submerge the pork chops in the brine, seal up the bag, and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours to tenderize the meat. Do not brine longer than that or the meat will break down too much and get mushy.
• Remove the pork chops from the brine and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of the meat with salt and pepper. Put a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add a 3-count drizzle of olive oil and get it hot. Lay 2 pork chops in the pan (most likely only 2 of these massive pork chops will fit comfortably) and brown 4 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops to a large baking pan; brown the remaining 2 chops and add them to the others in the pan. Put the baking pan in the oven and roast the chops for 30 minutes. The pork is done when the center is still rosy and the internal temperature reads 140 to 145 degrees F when tested with an instant-read thermometer.
• While the chops cook, melt the butter in a clean skillet over medium-low heat. Add the apples and thyme and coat in the butter; cook and stir for 8 minutes to give them some color. Toss in the raisins and add the apple juice, stirring to scrape up the brown bits. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and dry mustard; season with salt and pepper.
