Neapolitan Pork Chops Recipes

A MESS OF PORK CHOPS WITH DIJON DRESSING

Steps:

• Season chops on both sides with salt, pepper and allspice. Place thyme sprigs on each. Reserve 1 tablespoon thyme leaves. Put chops in a large bowl or container, making layers, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove chops from refrigerator. Heat grill and brush grates with oil. While grill is heating, heat tablespoon of oil in a skillet, add shallots and sauté until tender and starting to brown. Stir in mustard, soy sauce, lemon juice and wine. Bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in thyme leaves. Set aside.
• Grill chops - with thyme sprigs still stuck to them - just a few minutes a side until lightly browned, in more than one shift if needed, depending on size of your grill. Pile them on a platter. Warm sauce and serve alongside.

NEAPOLITAN RED PEPPER PORK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F or preheat a grill over high heat. Rub the peppers with canola oil, put them on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. They can also be grilled until blackened all over. Remove the peppers to a bowl and cover the bowl. Let rest until cool enough to handle, then remove the skin and seeds and dice. Do not rinse.
• Put a Dutch oven on the stove top over high heat, coat with some canola oil and add the capicola. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes. Season the ribs with salt and pepper and add them to the pot with 3 tablespoons of oil. Brown well on all sides, then remove them to a plate. Add the onions and saute until they are starting to caramelize, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the capers and caper juice. Mix to combine and allow the mixture to caramelize a bit more. Deglaze with the white wine. Stir in the agave, chicken stock and red wine vinegar. Bring to a boil, then add the seared ribs along with the diced peppers.
• Cover and bake for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove the pork from the oven to a serving platter and serve with the sauce.
• Guy's tip: you can uncover 3/4 of the way through to allow the sauce to reduce for serving. Another alternative is to remove the Dutch oven from the oven, put the pork onto a serving platter and simmer the sauce over high heat to reduce for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

PORK CHOPS PUTTANESCA

Steps:

• Mash 1 clove garlic with dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon chile flakes and salt to a paste in a mortar. Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil and the vinegar. Spread this mixture on both sides of the pork. Set aside. Heat grill. Heat oven to 225 degrees.
• Heat remaining oil in a small skillet, add onion and sauté until translucent. Mince remaining garlic and stir in. Add tomatoes, anchovies, remaining chile flakes, olives, capers and raisins. Stir in wine and cook on low until mixture is thick, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Grill pork close to source of heat, turning once, until nicely browned but not cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. (You can also cook the chops in a grill pan or skillet over high heat for about 2 minutes per side). Transfer pork to a baking dish, slather with tomato mixture and place in oven for 45 minutes for medium, longer for more well done. Arrange pork on a serving platter, spoon any pan juices over it, scatter with oregano and serve.
