Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 3/4 inch -- ¥
1 thick pork loin chops -- trimmed to leave
-- 1/4-inch fat
salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne or paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons minced gingerroot
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
2 teaspoons dijon-style mustard
1 cup diced fresh or canned pineapple
1 cup diced watermelon -- seeded
2 scallions -- thinly sliced
1/2 jalapeno -- seeded and finely
-- minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons lime juice
Season the chops with salt, pepper and cayenne. In a skillet heat the
oil over moderately high heat until almost smoking. Cook the pork
chops until well browned on either side, about 2 to 3 minutes per
side. Remove chops to a plate, cover with foil and keep warm. Deglaze
the skillet with 2/3 cup pineapple juice, stirring to remove browned
bits from bottom of pan. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the minced gingerroot
and the brown sugar and bring sauce to a simmer. Return the chops and
any juices that have collected to the skillet, reduce heat and simmer,
covered, for 6 to 8 minutes until meat is cooked through. Remove chops
to a plate, cover with foil and keep warm. If necessary simmer sauce
until slightly reduced. Mix together the cornstarch and cold water and
stir into the simmering sauce, continuing to stir until thickened.
Reduce heat, stir in mustard and adjust seasoning with salt and
pepper.
In a bowl combine pineapple, watermelon, the remaining tablespoon of
gingerroot, scallions, jalapeno, parsley, lime juice and the remaining
1/3 cup pineapple juice, mixing well.
Serve the chops warm, glazed with the sauce and garnished with the
pineapple & watermelon relish.
