Jamie Olivers Pork Chops W Roasted Carrots And Beets Recipes

SIMPLE PORK CHOPS - JAMIE OLIVER

Steps:

• Score the fat at the edge of the chops at 1/2" intervals. Sprinkle both sides of each chop with salt and pepper. Stick a large sage leaf to the meat over the "eye" of the chop; press in firmly.
• Pour olive oil into a hot non-stick skillet. Add chops, sage side down. Apply the remaining sage leaves to the now upper side of the chops.
• Place skillet in a preheated 425F (220C) oven for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown, turning once half way through. Remove to a plate.
• Pour fat out of pan. Deglaze with lemon juice and drizzle over chops.

ROASTED CARROTS & BEETS WITH THE JUICIEST PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Carrots and beets are particularly good when roasted as it brings out their natural sugars. The best advice I can give you is about flavouring them. A few smashed garlic cloves, a woody herb like rosemary, thyme, sage or bay, and a splash of vinegar, or squeezed lemon or orange juice, can accentuate their natural flavour.
• Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas 7. Put your carrots into a large pot and your beets into another, and add enough water to cover them. Season with salt and bring to the boil. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until just tender, then drain and place in separate bowls. Peel your beets, and cut any larger carrots and beets in half or into quarters. Smaller ones can stay whole.
• Now add your flavourings while the veg are still hot. Toss the carrots with half the smashed garlic and a lug of olive oil, then lightly season. Add the orange juice and the thyme leaves and toss again. Mix the beets with the rest of the garlic, the rosemary, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper. You can now put the veg either into separate ovenproof dishes, or together on a large roasting tray with the carrots in one half of the tray and the beets in the other. Place in middle of the preheated oven and roast for around half an hour or until golden.
• While the carrots and beets are cooking, lay the pork chops on a board and score through the skin and the streaky-looking part of the meat. This will give you lovely crackling. Look at the picture - you'll see what I mean. Firmly press a sage leaf on to the eye meat on both sides of each chop. Season with salt and pepper.
• When the vegetables start to colour, heat a large ovenproof frying pan or small roasting tray on the hob, add a good lug of olive oil and put in the chops. As soon as you've got nice colour on one side, turn the chops over and place the tray in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the chops are crisp on the outside and just cooked through and juicy in the middle. Remove the chops to a warmed plate. Pour most of the fat away from the tray and add a squeeze of lemon juice to it. Stir and scrape the lovely sticky bits off the bottom and drizzle all over the chops. Remove the carrots and beets from the oven - they should be nice and sticky by now. Serve them with the chops and a glass of wine.

MY MOORISH PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• To make the chops: Pound most of your oregano leaves with a small pinch of salt and pepper in a pestle and mortar. Roughly chop the raisins, then add them to the pestle and mortar with a splash or 2 of sherry and a splash of extra-virgin olive oil. Muddle everything together to make a paste, then put to one side for a minute. Lay each pork chop in front of you so the side with the fat is farthest away. Carefully insert a knife into the side nearest you and move it around to make a pocket inside. Use your fingers to fill each pocket with the raisin paste. Cook's Note: To see what I mean, go to www.jamieoliver.com/how-to.
• To make the beans: Fry the strips of fat from your pata negra or bacon in a medium pan on a high heat for a few minutes, then add the offcuts (or bacon) and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir in the chopped onion and pepper, then turn the heat down and cook for about 5 more minutes, or until the vegetables have softened. Roughly chop your rosemary leaves and add those to the pan along with your bay leaves. Add the beans to the pan with 1 1/2 cups/350 ml water. Stir, then leave to tick away for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the beans and add a splash more water if they look dry. Get a barbecue or griddle pan really hot. Rub some olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper all over the pork chops. Put them on the very hot side of your barbecue and sear them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side to get some good colour going, then move them to the gentler side of the barbecue so they can cook slowly. If you're using a griddle pan, turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for a further 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Meanwhile, finely chop the stalks of the Swiss chard and add them to the pan with the beans. Roughly chop the leaves and add them to the pan for the last minute or 2 of cooking so as not to lose the flavour. Taste the beans and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few more minutes if you want to achieve a thicker consistency. Divide the beans evenly among 4 plates and lay a pork chop over each. Sprinkle over the reserved oregano leaves, finish with a drizzle of olive oil and serve.

JAMIE OLIVER'S ROAST POTATOES, PARSNIPS, AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°.
• Peel the vegetables and halve any larger ones lengthways. Break the garlic bulb into cloves, leaving them unpeeled, and bash them slightly with the palm of your hand. Pick the rosemary leaves from the woody stalks.
• Put the potatoes and carrots into a large pan - you may need to use two - of salted, boiling water on a high heat and bring back to the boil.
• Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then add the parsnips and cook for another 4 minutes.
• Drain in a colander and allow to steam dry. Take out the carrots and parsnips and put to one side.
• Fluff up the potatoes in the colander by shaking it around a little - it's important to 'chuff them up' like this if you want them to have all those lovely crispy bits when they're cooked.
• Add the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary leaves.
• Put the vegetables into the tray with a good pinch of salt and pepper and stir them around to coat them in the flavours.
• Spread them out evenly into one layer - this is important, as you want them to roast, not steam as they will if you have them all on top of each other
• Cook for approximately 40 minutes or until the vegetables become browned and crispy.

CIDER-DIJON PORK CHOPS WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND APPLES

Steps:

• 1. Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature while the oven preheats. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a large rimmed baking sheet in the oven and heat until very hot.
• 2. To cook the vegetables and apples: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes, apples, fennel, and rosemary with the olive oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread the vegetables and apples on it. Roast, turning the ingredients over halfway through, for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are nicely browned and tender.
• 3. Meanwhile, cook the pork: Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then add the chops to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and barely pink when pierced in the center with the tip of a small sharp knife. Transfer to a platter (reserving the oil in the skillet) and let stand for 5 minutes.
• 4. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon of the oil from the skillet, leaving the brown bits in the pan. Return the pan to medium-low heat, add the apple cider, and bring to a simmer, scraping up the brown bits with a wooden spoon. Whisk in the mustard and simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter to lightly thicken the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• 5. Divide the sweet potato mixture among four dinner plates. Place a pork chop alongside the vegetables on each plate. Drizzle with the pan sauce and serve.

BAKED PORK CHOPS WITH ROASTED POTATOES, PARSNIPS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes in half, (leave peel on) Peel and slice the parsnips and carrots lengthwise.
• Place the parsnips, carrots, onion, potatoes, and all the garlic cloves in a tray and coat and toss generously with extra virgin olive oil.
• (I use my lasagna pan) Add some he fresh thyme (including sprigs), salt and pepper, toss again.
• Then place in oven for 15 minutes.
• While the vegetables are in the oven, sprinkle some thyme, lemon zest, salt and pepper onto the chops.
• Then place them in the tray on top of vegetables and add the apples.
• Sprinkle a little extra virgin olive oil, and the juice of half the lemon on top of chops.
• Return to oven.
• Cook for around 45 minutes until the meat is tender and the vegetables are golden.
• Tip: I like to serve a piece of the quartered apple per plate, and I also take the peel off the cooked garlic and serve a couple cloves per plate.

JAMIE OLIVER'S PORK WITH PEACHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Score the skin of the pork about about 1/2 an inch apart through the fat nearly to the meat.
• Turn over the roast & slice a pocket into the side of the loin by going about 3" horizontally into the meat. Depending on the size of your loin, you may have to cut more or less into the roast. Be careful not to cut all of the way through the roast because you're just trying to make a pocket.
• Smoosh up your butter & chopped thyme with salt & pepper and smear about half of this mixture inside the pocket you just made.
• Push the peaches into the pocket & pack the rest of the butter mixture on top of the gap.
• Snuggly tie up the roast in 3-4 places with butchers twine to keep the pocket closed.
• Salt & pepper the outside of the roast & place in roasting dish, skin side up, with any peaches that wouldn't fit inside the roast & any other roasting veggies you like. (i.e potatoes, carrots, parsnips, Jerusalem artichokes, etc).
• Cook for 50 minutes to an hour or until the pork is done,depending on your oven.
• Take it out of the oven and transfer roast to a plate to let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
• Optional: To make gravy, I remove the veggies from the roasting pan & place the pan on top of the stove (don't do this if it's a glass dish). De-glaze it with a little white wine or water. I let the liquid reduce a bit, add whatever juice is in the plate from the resting roast then add a little pat of butter to make it glossy. This gravy is kinda gooey & sweet from the peaches.

PAN SEARED PORK CHOPS WITH GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F Dredge the pork chops (or steaks) in the spices (except oil). Let them sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavor of the spices.
• Heat frying pan (that is oven safe) over medium high heat with the oil. Place the chops/steaks into the heated pan and sear until golden brown (about 5 minutes each side).
• Cut carrots into thin slices and toss them in a bowl with the thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the carrots to the saute pan with the pork chops.
• Place the saute pan into the oven for about 10 minutes or until chops are cooked thru.
• Remove the chops/steaks from the pan onto serving plates, and leaving the carrots, deglaze the pan with the orange juice.
• Place carrots atop the chops and drizzle with glaze.
