Grannies Belly Busting Pork Chops Recipes

"PORK ON PORK" CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a food processor, combine the pancetta, thyme, rosemary and garlic. Pulse until the mixture is finely ground. Set aside.
• Make sure the pork chops are at room temperature, then liberally season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat the canola oil in a large ovensafe skillet or grill pan over high heat. When the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for about 2 minutes on each side.
• Stick the pan in the oven to finish cooking the pork, 5 to 6 minutes. Depending on your oven, of course, and the thickness of your chops, this should result in a medium to medium-well chop, still slightly pink in the middle. If you prefer a more well-done chop, add a minute or 2 to the cooking time.
• While the pork chops are in the oven, heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add the pancetta and herb mixture. Turn the heat down to low and continue to cook the pancetta, stirring continuously to break up any large chunks, until all the fat is rendered and the pancetta is crispy, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Serve the pork chops topped with the crispy herbed pancetta and rendered fat. Serve while hot and bubbling!

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet with a lid, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through but not crisp, about 6 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside to cool. Chop into small pieces.
• Sear the pork chops until browned on each side.
• Place the pork chops, bacon, onion, and potato slices into the skillet, and pour the water over the ingredients. Cover the skillet, bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce the heat, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.

CHEF JOHN'S CARAMEL PORK BELLY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Lay a large sheet of aluminum foil on a flat work surface. Lay 1/2 the green parts of the green onions down in the center of the foil. Place pork belly, fattiest-side down, on top of the green onions and top pork belly with remaining 1/2 the green parts of the green onions; sprinkle with salt. Fold aluminum foil tightly around pork and green onions. Wrap pork belly again in another sheet of aluminum foil. Place wrapped pork, seam-side up, in a loaf pan.
• Cook pork belly in preheated oven for 5 1/2 hours. Turn off the oven heat and let cool in the oven for 2 hours. Remove from oven and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
• Remove pork from foil and discard green onions. Cut pork into 8 pieces.
• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp all over, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• Whisk brown sugar, rice vinegar, fish sauce, ginger juice, and soy sauce together in a bowl.
• Remove most of the fat from the skillet and discard. Add 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar glaze and increase heat to medium-high. Cook until pork is glazed on all sides and pieces are caramelized, about 10 minutes. Make a well in the center of the skillet and add chopped white parts of the green onion, garlic, and peppers. Saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Pour water and remaining brown sugar glaze into skillet; simmer until sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.

GRANNY'S SLOW-COOKED SUNDAY SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Rinse the pork chops and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle salt and pepper over chops, then dredge in flour to lightly coat. Reserve the remaining flour.
• In large, deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add two of the pork chops and cook, turning once until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to a plate. Repeat with remaining chops.
• Add onions and garlic to the fat in the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and add reserved flour. Cook, stirring, until it begins to brown, about 8 minutes.
• In a small bowl combine the stock, water, Worcestershire, vinegar, mustard, molasses and allspice. Add to pan and stir until well incorporated. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Return the pork chops and their accumulated juices to the pan.
• Cover and simmer until the chops are very tender, about 45 minutes, turning the chops halfway through cooking. Serve hot.

GRANDMA'S PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Rub both sides of the chops with the dry rub, coating them generously. Place them in a deep baking dish, overlapping if necessary. Stir the citrus juices, vinegar, and garlic together in a bowl until blended. Pour over the chops and massage into them.
• 2. Marinate the chops at room temperature for up to 1 hour or in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
• 3. Pour enough oil into a large, heavy skillet to film the bottom. (If necessary, work in batches or use two skillets - if you have them and space on the stove to hold them.) Heat the oil over medium heat until rippling. Remove the chops from the marinade and discard the marinade. Add as many chops as will fit in the pan without touching. Cook until the chops are well browned on the underside, about 6 minutes. Turn the chops and cook until they are firm near the bone when you poke them with a finger, about 8 minutes. Keep warm while cooking the second batch, if necessary. Serve immediately.
