Ingredients
- 8 cups chicken stock
- 6 ounces frozen concentrated Granny Smith apple juice
- 1/4 cup tightly packed dark brown sugar
- 8 whole black peppercorns
- Salt
- 1 1/2 cups maple syrup
- 1/4 cup prepared horseradish, drained
- 2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
- 1/2 cup ancho chile powder
- 1/2 cup pasilla chile powder
- 1/2 cup chopped garlic
- 1 center cut pork loin (9 bones)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
- 2 tablespoons finely diced ginger
- 2 medium oranges, zest removed and finely sliced, flesh cut into segments
- 2 cups fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons finely diced red pepper
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Combine the stock, apple juice, sugar and peppercorns in a medium saucepan over high heat and reduce to 3 cups. Season to taste with salt and strain through a fine strainer.Mix all ingredients until well combined.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the chile powders and garlic.
- Season the pork loin to taste with salt and pepper and rub all surfaces with the chile mixture. In a large roasting pan, roast the loin until medium rare, about 40 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, cut between the bones into 8 chops. In a heavy ridged grill pan, sear the chops 3 minutes on each side until grill marked. Place on a serving platter and brush with maple glaze. Serve with sauce and chutney on the side.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the onion and jalapeno until the onion is translucent.
- Add the ginger, orange zest, orange juice, vinegar, brown sugar and honey and cook until the sauce is reduced by half and has a glazed appearance. Reduce the heat to low, add two thirds of the apple slices, and cook until the fruit is just tender.
- Turn off the heat and gently fold in the remaining apples and the orange segments. Pour the chutney into a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Mix in the cilantro, red bell pepper and salt and pepper to taste.
