Garam Masala Pork Chops
Sounds like a good use for garam masala, on my to cook list for certain. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 4 thick cut pork chops, 3/4 to 1 inch thick
- vegetable oil, as needed
- 2 tablespoons garam masala, OR make from a shortcut
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 3/4 cup cranberry-raspberry juice blend, or just chicken stock
- 1/4 cup chicken stock, powder or homemade
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- salt and pepper, as desired
Instructions
- Rinse the chops, trim excess fat off if desired, pat dry with paper towels. Rub each chop on both sides with oil, about 1 teaspoon for each chop.
- In a small bowl, mix together the garam masala and garlic powder.
- Rub the garam masala mix all over the chops, both sides and edges.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non stick pan on medium heat. When hot, add the chops, work in batches if needed. Brown each side for about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Same pan, stir in the juice and stock, if no juice, stock will work fine, season with salt and pepper to taste, add the chops, then bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook the chops for 15 minutes, turn them half way through. Cut one chop open to check for doneness, if cooked through, remove the chops to a serving platter using a slotted spoon. Cover with foil and set aside.
- In a measuring cup, mix together the corn starch and 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry, stir into the pan and heat the pan to boiling and whisk and cook for 2 minutes to thicken. Remove from heat, taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Pour over the chops.
- Serve.
