Pork Chops Pancetta And Cheese Parcels Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND PANCETTA

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crisp and light golden, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pancetta and drain on paper towels.
• Melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the apples and sprinkle with the sugar and cook until tender and deep golden brown, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Transfer the apples and any juices from skillet to a small bowl.
• Sprinkle the pork chops with 1 teaspoon of the salt and 3/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Add the pork chops and 2 teaspoons of the oil into the same skillet and brown for 2 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to a plate and cover to keep warm.
• Add the remaining teaspoon of oil, cream, brandy, apple juice, thyme and onions to the same skillet and bring to a simmer. Return the apples and pork chops back into the pan and simmer until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Season the sauce with the remaining salt and pepper.
• Garnish with the reserved pancetta bits.

PORK CHOPS, PANCETTA AND CHEESE PARCELS

Steps:

• Remove any visible fat from chops, flatten them lightly with a meat mallet and brush with olive oil. Season with black pepper.
• Sear the chops for 2 minutes on both sides in the hot grill pan on. Put aside to cool slightly.
• Lay out 4 slices of the pancetta so they overlap. Place a seared chop on top of each pile of pancetta.
• Divide the sliced apple and Brie between the pancetta piles, on top of the pork.
• Wrap the pancetta around each of the pork, apple and brie parcels to hold it all in place. Place the pancetta parcels on a baking tray and bake in the oven at 200°C for 15 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
• Serve with mashed potato and cooking juices from the parcels.
