  • Apple Mustard Pork Chops

    Apple Mustard Pork Chops

    How to Make Apple Mustard Pork Chops

    Apple juice, mustard, and shallot create a flavorful and slightly sweet marinade for these pork chops. Great on the grill, or you could cook the chops on the stovetop or in the oven. Pair with a simple side salad, or a seasonal vegetable side, like this Braised Cabbage and Apples.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Trim the pork chops of excess fat.
    2. Add the rest of the ingredients to a large bowl or zip-top bag. Add the pork chops and turn to coat. Let the pork chops marinate for 6 to 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
    3. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, and add the excess marinade to a small saucepan. Set the marinade aside.
    4. Coat a grill rack from an outdoor gas grill with cooking spray and set it 6 inches from the heat source. Preheat the grill to medium heat.
    5. Add the pork chops to the grill, and sear on each side for about 3 minutes. Then cover the grill and cook for about 15 minutes until the chops register 145 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes (to retain the juices) before serving.
    6. Heat the excess marinade on medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Serve the heated marinade over the pork chops.

    Everyday Herb Oil

    How to Make Everyday Herb Oil

    This herb infused olive oil makes a great base for a vinaigrette or a simple seasoning for fish, chicken, or vegetables. For this recipe, I use a combination of parsley, oregano, rosemary, and thyme, but you should feel free to experiment with whatever herbs you have on hand or growing in your herb garden.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Fill a medium bowl with ice water and set it nearby.
    2. Add the parsley, oregano, rosemary, and thyme leaves to the boiling water. Blanch the herbs for 10-15 seconds, then immediately remove the herbs with a slotted spoon and transfer them to the ice water. After a few seconds, remove the herbs from the ice water with a slotted spoon and pat them dry with paper towels.
    3. In a blender or food processor, puree the blanched herbs with the olive oil.
    4. Pour the herb oil into a dark-colored glass bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid, seal the container, and set in a cool, dark place (such as your pantry) to infuse for at least 5 days. After it has been fully infused, keep the oil in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. Or freeze the herb oil in ice cube trays for future use. (Note that each ice cube is 2 tablespoons of oil.)
