Hoisin Pork Chops With Fennel Slaw Recipes

HONEY HOISIN PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk together the oyster sauce, Dijon mustard, hoisin sauce, ginger, honey, and soy sauce in a bowl until combined; stir in the green onions. Spread about 1/4 of the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the pork chops over the sauce in a single layer, and pour the remaining sauce over the chops, covering them completely.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chops are no longer pink at the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Baste once or twice while baking.
• Drain the liquid in the baking dish into a saucepan. Turn on the oven's broiler, and place the chops underneath the broiler until caramelized and brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Whisk the cornstarch with water in a small bowl, and whisk the mixture into the pan juices. Set the saucepan over medium heat, and bring the sauce to a simmer, whisking constantly until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve sauce with chops.

HOISIN GINGER SESAME PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix honey, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, chili-garlic sauce, garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Place pork chops in a resealable plastic bag. Pour 1/2 of the marinade over the pork chops; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight. Place remaining marinade in an airtight container and refrigerate.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly spray the grate. Remove pork chops from the bag and shake off excess marinade; discard marinade from the bag. Grill pork chops, basting with refrigerated marinade, until browned and no longer pink inside, 8 to 10 minutes per side.
• Pour remaining marinade into a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Spoon sauce over the pork chops.

PORK CHOPS WITH WARM FENNEL-APPLE SLAW

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Season the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper and sear in the pan until deep golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chops to a plate and let them rest.
• Return the same skillet to medium heat and add in the fennel, onion and caraway seeds. Saute, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to tenderize, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mustard, vinegar and whiskey (if using) and continue cooking until the liquids have mostly reduced, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated apple and reserved fennel fronds; adjust the seasoning as needed with salt and pepper.
• Serve the pork chops over the warm fennel-apple slaw.
