COOK’S NOTE – SKILLET PORK CHOPS WITH GRAPES:

  • When you’re searing the pork chops on the stovetop, you’ll want to open a window and/or turn on your vent fan.
  • I like serving these pork chops with wild rice, quinoa, or mashed potatoes.

This Skillet Pork Chops with Grapes and Caramelized Shallots recipe is a delicious dinner for easy weeknight meals, and it’s dressy enough for company.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups water
  • ¼ cup salt
  • 4 pork chops weighing about 1 pound each
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 3 large shallots
  • olive oil
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 cup Holland House Red Cooking Wine
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 cups red seedless grapes washed and dried
  • freshly chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • BRINE PORK CHOPS: In large measuring cup combine water and salt, and let mixture sit 5 minutes, or until the salt dissolves. Place pork chops in 9x13-inch dish and pour brine over chops. Cover and chill for 30 minutes (up to 3 hours).
  • CARAMELIZE SHALLOTS: While the chops brine, heat butter in cast-iron skillet or another heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-low heat. Once butter has melted, add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. Remove shallots from skillet, and set aside.
  • COOK PORK CHOPS: Move oven rack to middle position and preheat to 400 degrees F. Turn the heat up to medium-high and preheat skillet.
  • Take pork chops out of brine, and pat dry and rub both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place pork chops in preheated pan (depending on pan size, you may need to work in batches) and cook until chops are golden, about 2-4 minutes. Turn chops over, and cook until golden again, about another 2-4 minutes.
  • Remove chops from pan, and turn heat down to medium-low. Add Holland House Red Cooking Wine, chicken broth, and caramelized shallots and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Nestle pork chops into liquid, and bake skillet for 15 minutes. Add grapes to skillet and bake another 5 minutes. Sprinkle parsley over pork chops and serve.

  2. I would love to have this for dinner tonight! What a lovely dish. I definitely agree with your tip for cooking pork chops on the stovetop – turn on the fan and open the windows!

    1. Exactly! You need to open the windows!

  3. Karen @ Seasonal Cravings says:

    I am loving the grape and pork combo! Perfect for fall.

    1. Exactly, it’s a great dish for fall!

    Yum! Those pork chops look succulent! The combination of grapes and shallots sounds wonderful.

    1. It really is, I especially love the caramelized shallots!

    I really love the addition of the grapes. I love that pop of sweetness.

  6. Pork and fruits go so well together, this red wine sounds like the perfect way to combine all the flavours together.

  7. I think my boyfriend would really like this recipe, can you make it on the BBQ?

    I love the addition of wine to this dish – it looks delicious!

  9. Love how you added grapes to this recipe! I’m sure they make everything taste even better!

    I like your clever pairing of the red cooking wine with the juicy red grapes. It looks delicious, I think I’d serve these chops with your suggestion of creamy mash first time around.

    This is quite literally one of the BEST meals I’ve ever prepared. The only tweak I’ve made is to use boneless pork chops, which works equally as well. My family raves about it, and loves the sauce so that they always request it now to be served with mashed potatoes, over the suggested rice.

    1. Pamela, I am so glad that you and your family loved this recipe! 🙂
