Pan Roasted Frenched Pork Rib Chop With Five Spice Caramelized Onion Chutney And Orange Dusted Merlot Demi Recipes

FIVE-SPICE PORK RIBS WITH SMOTHERED ONIONS AND SPICY DRIED CRANBERRY BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the ribs: Whisk together the water, five-spice, sugar and salt until dissolved. Cut the racks in half and submerge fully in the brining liquid. Refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F.
• Line a sheet tray with enough foil to completely cover and seal the pork ribs. Evenly spread the sliced onions on the foil and place the butter on top. Remove the ribs from the liquid and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the ribs in one layer on top of the onions, and fold the foil over making sure to tightly seal the package. Roast undisturbed for 2 hours.
• To make the sauce: Coat a small saucepan with the canola oil. Over medium heat, sweat the onions and garlic until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add the sugar, cranberries, cranberry juice, vinegar and chipotle peppers. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Puree the sauce in a blender until very smooth, season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• Remove the ribs from the oven, unwrap and baste the ribs with the sauce. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake the ribs uncovered for 10 minutes until the sauce is lightly browned.
• Divide the smothered onions onto 4 plates and serve with half a rack per person, or serve family style on a platter.

PAN ROASTED FRENCHED PORK RIB CHOP WITH FIVE-SPICE, CARAMELIZED ONION CHUTNEY AND ORANGE DUSTED MERLOT DEMI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add the onions, and cook until slightly browned. In a small bowl, combine the raisins, sugar, cloves, wine, stock, and vinegar. Stir it into the onions and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir and cook for 3 to 5 minutes more or until it is reduced and thick. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Dust chops with the five-spice powder and salt and pepper, to taste. Heat the oil in an oven proof skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chops for 2 minutes on each side. Put the pan with the chops into the oven and roast until cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the chops to a plate, cover, and keep warm. Stir the flour into the drippings in the pan. Pour in the Merlot and add the orange zest and beef stock. Put the pan onto medium-high heat and cook until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
• To serve, put the pork chops on warm plates, spoon on the chutney, and drizzle with sauce. Serve with roasted root vegetables and garnish with fresh rosemary.

PAN-ROASTED PORK RIBS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Pour the olive oil into a 12-inch sauté pan, turn the heat to high, and when the oil is hot, slip in the meat. Turn the ribs two or three times to brown them well. If the pan is crowded, do a batch at at time, then return them all to the pan. Pour in the wine and turn the ribs once or twice while the wine bubbles completely away.
• Add the sliced onions, salt and chili pepper, cover the pan and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 2 to 3 hours, turning the ribs occasionally, until the meaty part of the ribs feels very tender and the onions have cooked down to a creamy consistency.
