Step By Step

Instructions

Brining Liquid

1
Mix salt, honey, cider vinegar, rosemary, peppercorns and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a low simmer, and stir to dissolve honey.
2
Add ice, and stir to cool. Place pork chops in storage container and cover with brine. Seal container. Refrigerate for 8 hours.

Pork Chops

1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Preheat cast-iron skillet over high heat.
2
Remove chops from brine, pat dry, and season with pepper.
3
Add ghee to skillet. Once melted ghee is hot, add pork chops and sear for 2 minutes per side. Add butter, shallots and rosemary, then baste for 1 minute.
4
Place skillet with chops in oven for 8-10 minutes, or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part reads 145°F.

Cider Mustard Vinaigrette

Whisk all ingredients together excluding olive oil in a medium bowl. Add olive oil slowly, whisking constantly to emulsify.
