Mustard Soy Braised Pork Chops With Celery Recipes

CRISPY MUSTARD BRAISED PORK BELLY

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Massage the rub all over the pork belly, then cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Remove the belly from the refrigerator. Coat a large straight-sided pan with olive oil and put over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, fennel, and garlic. Season the vegetables with crushed red pepper and salt, to taste. Cook the vegetables until they start to soften and become very aromatic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the wine and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the mustard and 2 cups of the chicken stock. Taste to make sure it is delicious. Add the pork belly and toss in the thyme and bay leaves. Cover and put in the preheated oven. Braise the belly for 6 hours, checking occasionally. If the liquid level goes down add the remaining stock.
• When the belly is done it will be very tender and succulent. Remove the lid and set the oven to broil. Broil the pork belly until it turns golden, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the belly, from the braising liquid, to a cutting board. Cut the belly into 6 or 8 equal portions depending on your appetite. Arrange the pork on a serving platter and ladle the braising liquid on top.

Steps:

• Season chops with 1/4 tsp thyme, salt and pepper (both sides).
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat; add chops and brown well on one side before turning over to brown the other side.
• After turning, scatter onion in skillet around the pork, and stirring them to coat with the oil.
• Once the chops are thoroughly browned, reduce heat to medium-low; add orange juice, water, and remaining 1/2 tsp thyme to the skillet.
• Bring to a simmer and cover, cooking at a slow simmer for 15 minutes (if you find that your liquid is reducing too quickly, adjust your temperature a bit downward, and add an additional tablespoon water if needed).
• Meanwhile, combine sour cream (or yogurt) with the mustard in a small bowl and set aside.
• After the 15 minutes simmer time, remove the cover from the skillet and continue simmering until most but not all of the liquid has evaporated (about 5 minutes).
• Remove the chops (but not the onions) to serving dishes and remove the skillet from the heat.
• Stir the sour cream/mustard mixture in to the skillet; reduce heat to very low and return to stove.
• Heat just until the sauce is warmed, stirring all the while and never allowing to boil (just a minute or so).
