25 Minute Unstuffed Pork Chops Recipes

UNSTUFFED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in your largest skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and begin to brown it while breaking up the meat with a spatula, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the diced onion, bell pepper, celery, and apricots to the pan and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Make room for the pork chops and nestle them into the pan among the sausage mixture. Sear each side of the pork chops until golden brown, a couple minutes per side.
• Pour in the broth or water, cover the pan, turn down the heat to low, and cook until the pork chops are done all the way through (no longer pink), about 5 to 6 minutes.
• Take the lid off the pan, stir in the cream until well combined, and serve warm.

25-MINUTE GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or large grill pan for medium-high heat.
• Put the tomatoes into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and let sit at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Put the sour cream, lime zest and juice, cumin and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Reserve.
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Brush the pork all over with 2 tablespoons of the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Arrange the pork on one side of the grill (leave room for grilling the vegetables) and cook until lightly charred on both sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the deepest part of a chop registers 140 degrees F, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, brush the corn and onion liberally with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and arrange them on the grill. Cook the corn until lightly charred, 6 to 8 minutes, rotating the ears so that they cook evenly. Cook the onion until charred and tender, 6 to 8 minutes, flipping as needed. Transfer the vegetables to a cutting board and cool for 2 to 3 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut the corn away from the cobs and quarter the onion rounds. Add the corn, onion, black-eyed peas and half of the parsley to the same large bowl with the tomatoes. Gently toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide the succotash among 4 large dinner plates and top with a dollop of the reserved sour cream mixture. Place 1 pork chop on each plate next to the succotash. Garnish the succotash with the reserved parsley and serve immediately.

• NOTE: I use whatever bread i have on hand for stuffing.
• This was particularly good with sunflower bread, as you could taste the sunflower seeds.
