Here's a really good one that my grandmother always made on special occasions. Not like Christmas and stuff, but if, say, a certain grandson of hers won his boxing match, or did well on a test, or something like that. FutureGirlfriend doesn't do porkchops, so hopefully one of you guys will try it out. It's so easy, that I'm pretty much giving you an entire meal to go with it, too.
MARINADE:
2 ounces bourbon
2 ounces Worcestershire
1 handful juniper berries, crushed
Freshly crushed black pepper
Pinch of rosemary, thyme, sage, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
Marinade the pork chops for 2 to 3 hours, but best if done overnight.
APPLE CIDER GLAZE:
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup brown sugar
3 cups apple cider
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh sage
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Caramelize the honey and brown sugar in a pan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Combine the apple cider, vinegar and garlic and add to sugar, bring to boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain into a small sauce pan and add thyme, sage, and pepper and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Remove herbs and reserve for pork chops.
METHOD: Preheat grill to medium. Remove the chops from the marinade and wipe off any excess. Grill chops, basting with cider glaze until desired temperature. Medium temperature is 15 to 18 minutes.
SWEET POTATO-ANDOUILLE HASH:
1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced fine
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup andouille sausage, diced
2 whole sweet potatoes, peeled and diced 1/4x1/4
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, finely ground
1 cup chicken stock
3 tablespoons heavy cream
Saute onions and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat in sauce pan until translucent. Add andouille sausage and stir well to combine. Once some of the fat begins to render from the sausage and the diced sweet potato and cook for stirring frequently for 10 minutes. Add chicken stock until evaporated then add cream and reduce until gone. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
