Pork Chops With Pineapple Gravy And Mexican Couscous Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the onion in a bowl of cold water, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, puree 3/4 cup pineapple with the lime juice, peanut butter, fish sauce and jalapeno until smooth. Toss the cucumber and the remaining 1 1/4 cups pineapple in a bowl, then add the pureed pineapple dressing and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pat the pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat, then add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Lay 3 chops in the pan and sear until golden on one side, about 3 minutes; flip and finish cooking, 1 to 2 more minutes. Transfer the chops to a plate and loosely cover with foil. Repeat with the remaining chops, adding the remaining 2 tablespoons oil as necessary.
• Drain the onion and add to the pineapple relish. Serve with the pork chops.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and brown the pork chops about 5 minutes on each side. Remove chops from the skillet, and set aside.
• Mix the chicken broth, soy sauce and vinegar into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Return the pork chops to the skillet, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove chops from the skillet, reserving broth mixture, and set aside.
• In a bowl, blend the brown sugar, cornstarch, and pineapple juice. Mix into the skillet with the chicken broth mixture. Bring to a boil. Serve with the cooked pork chops.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and black pepper, and brown them on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Set chops aside.
• Mix the water, rice, tomato sauce, picante sauce, and taco seasoning in the prepared baking dish. Lay the chops into the rice mixture, and top with the green bell pepper slices. Cover the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chops are no longer pink inside and the rice is tender, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Uncover the dish, and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
• Return to the oven, and bake uncovered until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 5 to 10 more minutes.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium; add garlic, and cook, stirring, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add couscous and raisins; cook, stirring, until couscous is lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until liquid is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season pork with paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. In a small nonstick skillet, heat remaining teaspoon oil over medium-low. Cook pork until browned and interior is opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Remove couscous from heat; stir in broccoli, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper; let stand, covered, until broccoli is warmed through, 2 minutes. Serve pork with couscous.

Steps:

• In a medium container, mix onion, Sauterne wine, soy sauce, vegetable oil, and dry mustard. Place pork chops in the mixture. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours, or overnight. Turn pork chops once while marinating.
• Prepare an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Arrange pork chops on the grill, and cook 5 to 7 minutes on each side, to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Top with crushed pineapple and brown sugar before removing from heat. Discard remaining marinade.
