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 Pork chops (1-1/2" thick);
- bone in, center or
- loin-cut
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 F. Remove chops from
brine and dry with paper towels. Rub them with 2 tb 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.
