Bourbon Glazed Brined Pork Chops

This is similar to my earlier recipe for balsamic glazed pork chops, but the glaze this time uses bourbon. I got a bottle of Wild Turkey and this looks like a good use for it. 🐖🥩🥃

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 servings

Cooking time :

1 hour

3 tbsp

kosher salt

1 tbsp

water

pork chops

1/2 tsp

smoked paprika

1/2 tsp

dried thyme

1/3 cup

bourbon

3 tbsp

soy sauce

3 tbsp

brown sugar

2 tbsp

red wine vinegar

1/2 tbsp

cornstarch

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Mix the brine ingredients in a zip plastic bag. Soak the pork chops in the brine for at least 20 minutes up to 8 hours.

* Step 2

Mix the bourbon, soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar in a saucepan, and bring to a boil on medium heat. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes.

* Step 3

Mix water and cornstarch in a small bowl, and stir into glaze. Let cook for another 1–2 minutes until it thickens. Set aside.

* Step 4

Remove pork chops from brine. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.

* Step 5

On a pan or heat-proof dish torch the chops with a blowtorch until nicely seared on all sides. Alternatively, sear the chops on a pan with medium high heat for about 5 minutes per side.

* Step 6

Grill the chops on a pan or over charcoal, brushing generously with the glaze, until internal temperature reaches 65°C. Let rest for five minutes and serve with remaining glaze on the side.
