PORK CHOPS AND CARAMELIZED APPLES RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• *Preheat oven to 400° F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush pork chops lightly with oil then season with a little salt and black pepper and place in hot skillet. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes on each side, until pork has a nice golden crust. Transfer to a baking pan and bake about 20 minutes, or until chops are done. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, stir together the brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt and pepper. Set aside. Melt butter in a medium skillet (that has a cover) then stir in the apples and brown sugar mixture. Cover the skillet and cook until apples are crisp tender. (I checked with a toothpick.) Remove apples from the syrup with a slotted spoon. Continue cooking the syrup in skillet, uncovered, until thickened somewhat. Arrange the apples over the cooked pork chops then spoon the syrup over apples and chops. NOTE: *I finished the pork chops on the stovetop instead of baking them. After searing them on both sides in the hot skillet, I reduced the heat, covered the skillet, and cooked until they were done.

STEAMED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Remove and discard any loose or discolored leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Trim the stems flush with the bottom of the sprouts and cut each sprout in half.
• Pour about an inch of water into a skillet or wok and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Put the Brussels sprouts in a steamer basket and season with salt. Set the steamer basket over the boiling water and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes depending on the size of the Brussels sprouts. Transfer the sprouts to a plate, sprinkle with black pepper and serve.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Mix flour, sage, garlic, thyme, salt, allspice, and paprika together in a small bowl. Set aside 2/3 of the spice mixture for later use. Sprinkle remaining spice mixture onto the pork chops, coating all sides.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove pork from the skillet.
• Add onion to the skillet and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add apples; cook and stir for 2 more minutes. Stir in apple juice, brown sugar, and reserved spice mixture; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until pork is longer pink in the center, and reaches desired level of doneness, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH APPLE-PINEAPPLE RELISH

Steps:

• For Pork Chops Brine: To brine pork, combine salt, sugar and the 4 cups water in a large glass or enamel bowl, mixing until dissolved.
• Add peppercorns, thyme and bay leaves and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
• Place pork chops in a large resealable ziplock bag, cover with brine and close tightly. Place the bag in a large bowl and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• To Finish Pork Chops: Preheat a barbecue grill to 400°F.
• Line a plate with paper towels. Using tongs, remove pork chops from the brine and set on the lined plate to absorb any liquid. (If the pork chops are damp, the meat will flame on the barbecue.) Discard the brine. Allow pork chops to come to room temperature, 15-20 minutes, then season with salt and black pepper and brush lightly with olive oil.
• Grill chops for 5 minutes, then turn them 45° and cook for another 5 minutes. Turn chops over, and grill for 5 minutes, then turn them 45° and grill for 5 minutes more. Insert a meat thermometer; once the meat reads 160°F, immediately remove chops from the heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• Fold pecans into the apple-pineapple relish. Divide the Brussels sprouts mixture between each of 4 plates. Place a pork chop over the sprouts and spoon a tablespoon of the apple mixture on top. Serve immediately.
• To Make Apple-Pineapple Relish: In a large bowl, toss apple with lemon juice until well coated. Add pineapple, rice vinegar and honey and set aside. This relish will keep (without the pecans, which are added just before serving) refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• For the Braised Brussels Sprouts: Line a small plate with a paper towel. In a medium frying pan on medium heat, cook bacon until lightly crispy, about 5 minutes. (If the meat begins to smoke, reduce the heat.) Remove bacon from the pan and drain on the lined plate. Carefully pour off some of the rendered fat, then add shallots and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in Brussels sprouts and cook for 2 more minutes, then add bacon and butter and toss lightly. Season with salt, black pepper and lemon juice. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.
