Recipe courtesy of Alton Brown Show:Good Eats Episode:Chops This recipe is absolutely delicious. The best pork chops anyone in my family had ever had! I left out the walnuts and raisins and doubled the dried cherries and used dried poultry seasoning instead of the fresh sage. Ingredients:
4 double thick bone-in loin end pork chops |
1 cup kosher salt |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 tablespoon black peppercorns |
1 tablespoon mustard powder |
2 cups cider vinegar, heated |
1 lb ice cube |
1 1/2 cups cornbread, crumbled |
2 tablespoons golden raisins |
1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped |
1/4 cup dried cherries, halved |
1/4 cup buttermilk |
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper |
2 teaspoons fresh sage, thinly sliced |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
Directions:
1. In a plastic container put the salt, sugar, peppercorns, and mustard powder. Add the hot vinegar and swirl to dissolve. Let mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes to develop flavor. Add ice cubes and shake to melt most of the ice. Add chops and cover with brine.
2. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. Remove chops from container and rinse. Cut horizontal pockets in each pork chop for stuffing.
4. Combine rest of ingredients, and put into piping bag that is not fitted with a tip. Pipe each chop full with cornbread mixture.
5. Grill the chops on medium high heat for 6 minutes on each side. Turn each chop 45 degrees after 3 minutes to mark.
