  • 1 gallon warm water
  • 3/4 lb kosher salt , about 1 3/4 cups
  • 1 1/2 cups honey
  • 1 tbsp ground cloves
  • creole mustard reduction sauce, recipe follows

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Heat the water, salt, and honey in a stockpot. Stir to dissolve the honey and salt. Remove from the heat. Add the thyme, pepper, and cloves, and refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours. Once cool, submerge the pork chops in the brining liquid. Marinate for 2 hours, refrigerated.
  3. Remove from the refrigerator and pat the chops dry with paper towels.
  4. Heat a large, heavy, non-stick grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chops in batches, as necessary, and sear on each side, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a roasting pan or baking sheet and roast until cooked through, about 18 minutes.
  5. Serve with Creole Mustard Reduction Sauce.

  7. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  8. 1 tablespoon minced shallots
  9. 1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
  10. 1 cup dry red wine
  11. 2 cups chicken stock
  12. 1/4 cup Creole mustard or other spicy, whole-grain mustard
  13. Heat the oil a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the wine. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced to a thick glaze, 18 to 20 minutes. Add the chicken stock and Creole mustard, stir well, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
