PORK CHOP RESTAURANT RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat a broiler or light a charcoal grill.
• In a small nonreactive bowl, whisk together the syrup, vinegar, sugar and cinnamon.
• Place a small pan over medium heat, add the pecans and about 2 tablespoons of the maple-syrup sauce and cook for a few minutes, until the nuts are glazed and fragrant. Transfer the nuts to a plate and spread them out to cool. Transfer the cooled nuts to a cutting board, chop roughly and set aside.
• Season the pork chops aggressively with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil. When the broiler is hot, or the coals are covered with gray ash and you can hold your hand 5 inches above them for only 1 to 2 seconds, broil or grill the meat for approximately 7 minutes per side. Brush with some of the remaining maple glaze every 2 or 3 minutes, turning them frequently to prevent the sugar from burning.
• When the chops are cooked, remove from the broiler or grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Meanwhile, slice the cored apples into thick rounds, drizzle with olive oil, season lightly with salt and pepper and place on the broiler pan or grill until tender when pierced with a fork. These, too, should be brushed with the maple glaze and turned frequently.
• Serve chops with the apple slices, sprinkled with pecans and candied ginger.

Steps:

• Marinating Sauce:.
• Take soy sauce, water, brown sugar, molasses and salt - mix together in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Let cool.
• Put chops in a pan with bone side up.
• Pour marinade over the pork chops and let stand overnight in refrigerator.
• Take chops out of marinade, place in baking pan and cover tightly with foil.
• Put in 375 degree oven and bake until tender - about 2 hours.
• Red Sauce.
• While chops are baking, combine all red sauce ingredients in heavy saucepan or double boiler.
• Mix well - leaving no lumps.
• Bring all ingredients to a slight boil.
• After chops are tender, remove from oven and dip in red sauce.
• Take chops after dipping and place in baking pan and bake for 30 minutes in 350 degree oven or until slightly glazed.
• Both sauces can be reused if brought to a boil and stored in refrigerator or frozen.
• For an extra flavor keep at room temperature until you are ready to put on a charcoal pit or grill. Have grill as high as possible from coals, not a large bed of coals is needed. Place finished chops on grill, let cook slowly, a little blacking does not hurt chops -- grilling should not take more than 15 minutes.
