Cut: Chops
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
Pork:
4 Canadian pork loin chops, boneless, 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick
1/2 tsp (125 mL) salt
1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground black pepper
1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil
Chutney:
2 Tbsp (30 mL) canola oil
1/4 cup (60 mL) red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup (250 mL) whole berry cranberry sauce
3 Tbsp (45 mL) apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp (30 mL) brown sugar
2 Tbsp (30 mL) grated ginger root
1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground black pepper
1 large peach, cut into slices
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C ). Season chops with salt and pepper.
In large oven-proof skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Sear chops on both sides and transfer pan to oven. Alternatively, brown chops in large frying pan on both sides and transfer to a rack on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil for easy cleanup.
Roast chops 5-6 minutes per side or until a safe internal temperature of 155°F (68°C). Remove chops from oven onto a clean plate and tent loosely with foil; let rest 3-5 minutes to a Health Canada-recommended final internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) before serving with chutney.
For the chutney:
In small saucepan over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, except peach slices; simmer, about 3 minutes.
Add peach slices and simmer an additional 1-2 minutes, depending on firmness of peach.
Tip: Chops and other cuts from the loin are their tender and juicy best when cooked to a rosy centre. Always allow larger cuts of meat to rest for a few minutes before serving.
