Date Night Pork Chops Recipes

DATE NIGHT PORK CHOP WITH APPLE AND ENDIVE SALAD | EPICURIOUS

Steps:

• Pat pork chop dry with paper towels; season generously with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour.
• Heat a medium skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium. Drizzle 1/2 tsp. honey over 1 side of pork chop, then drizzle with 1 Tbsp. oil. Rub all over; repeat on the other side. Cook until deeply browned, about 3 minutes per side. Turn upright onto fat cap and hold with tongs; cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low; cook 1 more minute on each side (an instant-read thermometer inserted about ½" from bone should register 130°F; cook another minute if needed). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
• Add hazelnuts and 2 Tbsp. oil to same skillet; cook over medium-low heat, tossing, until nuts are golden, about 3 minutes. Add shallot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until shallot is softened and browned, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tsp. honey and squeeze in juice from a lemon half; toss well. Remove from heat.
• Cut around apple core to remove flesh in 3 lobes. Thinly slice 2 lobes (do as you will with remaining apple). Toss apple slices, endive, and Parmesan in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil, squeeze in juice from remaining lemon half, and toss again.
• Cut bone away from pork chop and slice meat 1/2" thick. Arrange on a plate and drizzle juices over. Mound salad alongside and spoon hazelnut mixture over.

CRISPY PORK CHOP WITH HONEY MUSTARD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Marinate the pork chops: Place the pork chops in a gallon-size ziplock bag. Add ½ cup French's Creamy Yellow Mustard, warmed honey, the apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and McCormick® Paprika. Massage through the bag until the pork chops are completely covered, then seal the bag and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Make the honey mustard sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pot with the white wine, then whisk in the chicken broth, French's® Creamy Yellow Mustard, honey, heavy cream, and lemon juice. Simmer until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the McCormick® Dried Parsley flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Make the crunchy green salad: In a large bowl, toss together the kale, radicchio, dried cranberries, and apple.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the grapeseed oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.
• Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook the pork chops: In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1 egg, the milk, and the remaining tablespoon of French's® Creamy Yellow Mustard. In a separate shallow bowl, stir together the flour, McCormick® Garlic Powder, and McCormick® Onion Powder. Add the panko to a third shallow bowl.
• Dip the pork chops into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then into the panko, pressing the bread crumbs into both sides of the meat to coat completely.
• Heat the grapeseed oil in a medium high-walled skillet over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, cook the pork chops until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt.
• Serve the crispy pork chops with the honey mustard sauce and crunchy green salad alongside.
• Enjoy!
