Grilled Pork Chops With Onion And Bell Pepper Relish Recipes

Steps:

• For the hot and sweet pepper relish: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Toss peppers with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in oven, turning once, until charred on both sides, about 25 minutes total. Remove to a bowl, cover top with plastic and let steam for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and seeds and thinly slice.
• Whisk together the balsamic, garlic, honey and parsley in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper. Add the red and yellow peppers and cherry peppers and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
• Relish can be made up to 8 hours in advance and stored, covered in refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.
• For the balsamic reduction: Put the vinegar in a nonreactive (such as stainless steel) pan, bring to a boil and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup. Then stir in the honey, transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature; it will thicken as it cools.
• For the pork chops: Whisk together the vinegar, honey, 1/4 cup oil, parsley and thyme and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to take the chill off.
• Heat your grill to high or a cast iron grill pan over high heat. Brush the pork chops on both sides with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on one side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn over and grill until the other side until golden brown. Brush with some of the glaze, turn, brush with more glaze and turn again until a crust forms and pork is cooked through, (it should register 145 degrees F on instant read thermometer), about 10 to 12 minutes total.
• To serve: Transfer the chops to a plate, top with some of the relish and drizzle with balsamic reduction. Garnish with parsley leaves.

Steps:

• Dust the pork chops on both sides with the flour; season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until golden brown, 4 minutes. Flip; cook until lightly golden on the other side, 2 more minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium high; heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Add the bell peppers, onion, chopped garlic, pepperoncini, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 10 minutes. Stir in the pepperoncini brine and chicken broth. Return the pork to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium low; cook, flipping the pork halfway through, until cooked through and the liquid is reduced, 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Combine the butter, grated garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt; spread on the bread. Transfer to a baking sheet and broil until toasted, 1 minute. Slice the bread and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with the pork chops and vegetables.

Steps:

• 1. In a zip-top bag or a large container with a lid, combine the pork, onions and 1 cup mojo. Seal bag and transfer to refrigerator; chill at least 3 hours, or overnight.
• 2. Prepare a grill to medium-high heat, or heat a large, lightly-greased grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove pork and onions from the marinade; discard any leftover liquid. Season pork with adobo. Cook pork until golden brown and internal temperature registers 160°F on a quick-read thermometer, basting with remaining mojo, flipping once, 15 - 20 minutes. Cook onions until soft and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• 3. Divide pork and onions evenly among serving dishes.
• * If you do not have a self-sealing bag, be sure to use a non-reactive container such as a glass or stainless steel baking dish to marinate your chops. Do not use aluminum.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Sprinkle the chops with liberal amounts of salt and black pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. When the oil begins to smoke, add the chops and brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• While the chops cook, slice the garlic, onion and peppers.
• Remove the chops from the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon oil. Then add the fennel seeds, garlic, onions and peppers and toss to soften, 5 minutes. Next, add the tomato paste and stir 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the wine, add the stock and stir. Nest the pork into the pan and move the peppers and onions on top of the meat. Place in the oven and roast to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Make the brine: Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Turn off the heat, add the tea bags and let steep 10 minutes. Discard the tea bags. Stir in 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup salt, the bay leaves and coriander seeds. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar and salt are dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, pour into a large heatproof pitcher (reserve the pot) and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate the brine until very cold, at least 1 hour. Pour the brine into the reserved pot and add the pork chops. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the pepper relish: Put the bell peppers, onion and chiles in a food processor and pulse 2 or 3 times until slightly broken down but not pureed. Transfer to a small saucepan and add the vinegar, preserves, remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until slightly reduced but still juicy, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve. (You can make the relish up to 1 day ahead.)
• Preheat a grill to medium. Oil the grill grates. Remove the pork chops from the brine and pat dry. Season the chops with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, until well-marked, 14 to 16 minutes (rotate the chops 90 degrees if they get too dark). Flip the chops and cook, covered, until well-marked on the other side and a thermometer inserted sideways into the center registers 145 degrees F, 14 to 16 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest about 10 minutes. Serve with the relish.

Steps:

• Place all peppercorns on a cutting board and use the flat bottom of a heavy pan to crush them as finely or coarsely as you like. Transfer crushed pepper into the pan.
• Make 3 cuts through the fat on each pork chop and season generously with salt. Apply a generous coating of crushed peppercorns to both sides, pressing into the meat firmly as you do, until fully coated.
• Transfer chops to a rack set over a pan and let sit out at room temperature for 1 hour, turning halfway through and reapplying crushed peppercorns as necessary. Or, place in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours.
• Meanwhile, prepare the pepper relish while the chops are dry-brining: combine poblano pepper, orange and red bell peppers, garlic, salt, cayenne, and rice vinegar. Mix to combine and cover with plastic wrap. Leave on the counter for 1 hour.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat until very hot and starting to shimmer. Add pork chops and sear for 5 minutes per side. Use tongs to turn chops while you brown the edges for another 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium if the pan is too hot and begins to smoke. Chops should firm up and spring back to the touch. Do not overcook. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Turn off the heat and transfer chops to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and let rest.
• Add chicken broth to the hot pan. Turn heat to high and bring to a rolling boil. Add pickled pepper relish and stir with a spoon, scraping all the bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until liquid in the pan reduces by about half, about 3 minutes.
• Turn off the heat. Add cold butter and any accumulated juices from the plate of pork and stir until butter has melted.
• Serve pork chops with plenty of hot pickled pepper relish over top.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high. Place chops on greased grill.
• Grill 12 to 15 min. or until cooked through (160°F), turning every 4 min. and brushing with 1/2 cup of the dressing. Meanwhile, mix corn, pepper, cucumber and remaining 1/4 cup dressing.
• Serve chops topped with the corn mixture.

Steps:

• Make the pork chops: In a food processor, blitz the jalapeños, garlic, cilantro stems, rice vinegar, olive oil, salt and sugar until smooth. Place the pork chops in a large bowl or resealable container and pour the marinade over them; turn the chops to evenly coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
• While the chops marinate, prepare a charcoal grill for direct high-heat cooking, or heat a gas grill to medium-high.
• Make the relish: In a small bowl, toss the jalapeño, red onion, rice vinegar, salt, sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Set aside to quick-pickle until ready to serve, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
• Carefully grease the grill grate: Use tongs to grip a wadded paper towel dipped in oil and then rub the grates with the oiled towel. With the marinade clinging to them, place the pork chops on the hot greased grate. Grill until the chops are charred at the edges and no longer pink in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. The meat is ready to flip when it releases easily from the grates. (If using a gas grill, close the lid between flips.) Alternatively, cook the chops on the stovetop in batches. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high. Add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan, and heat until shimmering. Add the chops, with the marinade clinging to them, to the pan. Sear until browned and caramelized at the edges and no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Serve the chops with the relish and cilantro on top. If you'd like, serve rice alongside.

Steps:

• In a small bowl of ice water, soak onion for 10 minutes; drain, blot dry, and return to bowl. Add peaches, honey, lemon juice, and cayenne; season with salt and pepper. Let stand 15 minutes. If storing, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day.
• Heat grill to medium-high; lightly oil grates. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Top with peach relish and serve.
