Pork Chops and Apple Sauce

Pork Chops with homemade apple sauce is just about the best fall comfort food one can make in their own kitchen. Of course you can save a lot of time with this one by using jarred apple sauce, but that's just not as much fun as making your own. If you are a big fan of apple sauce (like I am) you can double the batch recipe below and jar some of your own for later use!

Lobster Recipe From Lobster Gram
Ingredients
For pork chops

  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 8 (1/2-inch-thick) pork chops
  • 3 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried, crumbled
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried, crumbled
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
For applesauce
  • 3 lb mixed McIntosh and Gala apples
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Recipe Directions:
Marinate pork chops: Stir together milk and 2 teaspoons salt in a shallow 3-quart dish, then add pork chops. Marinate, covered and chilled, turning over once, at least 1 hour. Make applesauce while chops marinate: Peel, core, and coarsely chop apples, then stir together with remaining applesauce ingredients in a 3-quart heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat to moderately low and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until apples are falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf and mash apples with a fork. Keep applesauce warm, covered.
Fry pork chops: Preheat oven to 200°F. Stir together bread crumbs, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and remaining teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Lift pork chops from milk 1 at a time, letting excess drip off, and dredge in bread crumbs, lightly patting crumbs to help adhere, then transfer to a tray, arranging in 1 layer. Heat 2 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté pork chops in 2 or 3 batches, without crowding, turning over once, until golden brown and just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Transfer as cooked to a platter and keep warm in oven. (Add more oil and butter to skillet as needed.) Serve pork chops with applesauce.

Grilled Buffalo Steak with Radicchio and Beet Skewers

I love cooking big game meat. Bison (better known as buffalo) is higher in protein, and lower in cholesterol than pork, chicken or beef. Buffalo steaks are just as tender and flavorful as their beef brothers, but with a whole lot more nutrition to offer! Try this recipe on for size, and don't tell your family it's bison. Watch their reactions, I bet no one will suspect they are eating healthier!

Buffalo steak Recipe From Lobster Gram
Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese
  • 4 teaspoons white-wine vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 5 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 small heads radicchio
  • 1 (15 ounce) can baby beets, drained (the liquid can be reserved for Pickled Eggs)
  • 1 pound buffalo New York strip steaks cut into portions
Recipe Directions:
Preheat grill to high. Place cheese in a medium bowl and mash it with the back of a spoon until creamy. Add vinegar, dry mustard, shallot, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; whisk to combine. Continue whisking and slowly drizzle in 1 tablespoon oil until blended. Set aside. Cut each radicchio head in half, core and quarter each half. Thread radicchio chunks and beets onto skewers. Drizzle the skewered vegetables with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil. Rub steaks with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil. Season the steaks and skewered vegetables with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Grill the steaks 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Grill the vegetable skewers, turning frequently so the radicchio doesn't burn, until the radicchio is wilted and lightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes total. Transfer the steaks to a plate; let rest for 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skewers. Serve the steaks and vegetables drizzled with the sauce.

Seared Buffalo Salad

If you are looking for a super healthy dinner tonight, this recipe is for you! Bison is a great source of protein and has very little cholesterol. Of all the meat you can purchase, Bison is probably the most healthy for you. It also helps that it is just as flavorful as beef. This great bison salad recipe is my favorite! It's also good with a grilled and cut up rib eye steak.

Grilled Steak and Onions with Rosemary Balsamic Butter Sauce

Rosemary is a very under appreciated herb. It makes steaks, stews, pasta sauces...anything more fresh and flavorful. I prefer using fresh rosemary for recipes. Not only is it more fresh and flavorful, it's actually less expensive than dried herbs! If I ever move somewhere with a yard, I fully intend to have my own herb garden for cooking. It's an easy way to improve your cooking, and save money! And who is not down for better tasting food that costs less?

Pork Chops with Sweet and Sour Glaze

I love this easy pork chop recipe. The apple cider glaze for this recipe is really great for an assortment of pork products. Last spring I made a ham and used this glaze for it, and it turned out better than I ever could have imagined, and next time I know to double the glaze to cover the huge ham!

New York Strip Steaks with Lobster Sauce

I can never resist a great Surf & Turf recipe. This culinary masterpiece combines my favorite cut of steak, and my favorite sea faring creature...the Lobster. Since this is a long and involved recipe, I usually reserve it for nights I am entertaining a group of friends. It never fails to get the "Wow" out of the crowd!

Ingredients
  • 1 2 1/3-pound live lobster

Scallops with Mango Vinaigrette

This is one of my favorite scallops recipes. It's so easy to make, it can be dinner any night of the week!

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds Maine Sea Scallops
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (5-ounce) bag baby spinach
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 cup rinsed and drained black beans
  • Mango Vinaigrette

Directions
Toss scallops with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Grill over medium-high heat 2 minutes on each side or until opaque. Arrange spinach, bell pepper, black beans, and scallops on a serving plate. Drizzle with Mango Vinaigrette. Thaw frozen scallops for several hours in the refrigerator or wrapped in plastic wrap under gently running cool water. Drain well before use. Many people prefer to remove the opaque "foot" that sometimes comes on the side of the sea scallop. Although edible, this oblong piece is slightly tough. Preheat the grill (or skillet) thoroughly, or the scallops will stick and tear when turned. The scallops may initially stick on hot grill grates while browning, but will release when it's time to turn them over.
