     Title: Cider-Cured Pork Chops
Categories: Five, Pork, Fruits
     Yield: 6 Servings

     8 tb Kosher salt; + more for
          - seasoning chops
     2 tb Fresh ground black pepper; +
          - more for seasoning chops
     4 c  Apple cider; + more as
          - needed
     6    (1 1/2" thick) center or
          - loin-cut pork chops; bone
          - in
     6 tb Extra-virgin olive oil

 To make the brine, dissolve the salt in 1/2 gallon of
 warm water in a large bowl. Add the pepper, pour in the
 apple cider and mix. Drop the pork chops into the brine
 and add enough additional apple cider so that the chops
 lurk in the liquid like frogs in a pond. Cover and
 refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 72.

 To prepare the chops, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
 Remove chops from brine and dry with paper towels. Rub
 them with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season well
 with salt and black pepper.

 Heat the remaining olive oil in two oven-safe skillets
 and brown the chops, three to a pan, for 4 minutes a
 side. Place skillets in oven for 6 to 8 minutes and then
 remove chops to a warm platter. Cover loosely with foil
 and allow them to rest for about 10 minutes.

 Serve with caramelized onions and apples, and drizzle
 with mock Bordelaise sauce.
