Apple Pork Chops
Oven-baked chops with a light, non-rich gravy.
Ingredients
5-6 (750g) pork loin chops
25ml flour
2ml turmeric
2ml salt
1ml ground cinnamon
20ml oil
Onion rings
Dried apple rings, soaked (soak apple rings in water to cover,
until soft)
Method
Remove rind and excess fat from chops and rub with a mixture of
flour, turmeric, salt and cinnamon. Heat oil and brown chops on
both sides, then arrange in a single layer in baking dish to fit
without crowding. On each chop place two large onion rings and two
apple rings. Sprinkle each chop with 2ml freshly chopped sage and
1ml brown sugar. Pour in apple juice at the side, then cover and
bake just below centre of oven at 180ºC for about 1 hour or until
cooked through. Remove chops to warm serving dish and tip juices
into a small saucepan. Reduce by rapid boiling until syrupy - this
takes only a few minutes - then pour over chops and serve. Serves
5-6.
Roast Pork with Orange and Port
Gently seasoned with herbs, spices and orange rind, the gravy
flavoured with orange juice and a dash of port, this is a simple
but rather special way of treating a leg.
Ingredients
1 x 2kg leg of pork
7ml salt
5ml paprika
5ml dry mustard
5ml ground ginger
5ml dried sage
5ml finely grated orange rind
375ml water
1 onion, chopped
250ml fresh orange juice
100ml port
Method
Remove rind from leg and score underlying fat. (The rind may be
salted and roasted separately.) Wipe leg with vinegar. Mix salt,
paprika, mustard, ginger, sage and orange rind and rub into the
leg. Place on rack in large roasting pan. Pour in the water and add
onion. Roast at 180ºC for 1 hour, then reduce temperature to 160ºC
for 1 hour 30 minutes, adding more water to the roasting pan as
necessary to prevent scorching. When nicely browned, cover the top
loosely with foil, shiny side up. Pour the orange juice and port
over, and roast for another hour, basting twice. (Total cooking
time about 3 hours 30 minutes.) Remove to serving platter and leave
in warming drawer for about 15 minutes before carving. The gravy
should have reduced sufficiently, but may be thickened if desired.
Serves about 8.
