Hot Honey Pork Chops With Escarole And White Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over high. Season pork chops on both sides with 1 1/2 tsp. salt. Cook pork until underside is golden brown, about 1 minute. Turn and cook on other side about 1 minute before turning again. Repeat, turning every minute, until chops are deep golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 135°F, 6-8 minutes total.
• Transfer pork to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Pour off and discard all but 1 Tbsp. fat from skillet. Add garlic to skillet, heat over medium, and cook, stirring, until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Add honey, red pepper flakes, and 1 Tbsp. vinegar and cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbling, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Taste and add more red pepper flakes, if desired.
• Working one at a time, return pork chop to skillet, spooning hot sauce over, making sure to thoroughly coat both sides. Transfer to plates or a platter. Add beans, black pepper, and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil, 1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. vinegar, and 1 tsp. salt to sauce in skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until beans are warmed through, about 4 minutes.
• Place escarole in a large bowl. Pour hot beans and sauce over escarole and toss to coat thoroughly and wilt escarole slightly. Serve alongside pork.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown pork chops 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
• Whisk honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and butter together in a bowl and pour over the pork chops in the baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let pork chops sit in the baking dish 5 minutes more to soak up juices.
• Serve pork chops topped with extra sauce.

Steps:

• Combine honey, mustard, garlic, chile flakes, 3 tablespoon olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; mix until fully combined.
• Place pork chops into a resealable zip-top bag. Pour in marinade, seal the bag, massage to coat, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Remove pork chops from the marinade and place on paper towels. Pat chops as dry as possible with the paper towels. Set excess marinade aside.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high or high heat until it shimmers. Working in batches if necessary, sear the pork chops in the hot pan until the first side is a dark golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Turn the heat down to low and continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
• While pork rests, pour leftover marinade into a skillet. Bring to a boil and continue to cook until it reduces and becomes as thick as you like, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour over pork chops.
