Husker Pork Chops and Summer Squash

[Ryan]

The wife picked these up today. I've got a backyard comp Sunday with tenderloins. Loins are my weakness. After talking to Rich he suggested a apple/white wine reduction for a glaze. I whipped some up. Half bottle of wine, some apple juice concentrate (no apples on hand) onions and a bit of butter. Reduced not far enough. Then added a touch of honey.

Now onto the cook. Got the cast iron pan out. Cubed up 3 summer squash. Added 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, tablespoon of basil, and drizzled with EVOO. Onto the redhead weber. S &P on the chops and gave a quick sear. Moved indirect and applied the glaze.

When the squash was tender I added 8oz of cream cheese.
Supper

If I cut back on the onion and have more wine to reduce even more than I did, I think this will compliment the pork brine very well. I wasn't sure about the squash recipe but it had very good reviews. Got to say it worked very well together. Will be doing again. Thanks Rich for the help. And thanks everyone for looking!

It kinda had that creamed spinach taste. We'll be eating this a lot. I may have planted to many squash and zucchini plants. I'm off to get some zucchini cobbler!

I'll be making another batch this weekend. I got another honey glaze I'm thinking about. Might work to combine the two. If nothing else I can just go with MH, the way I make them for sales.
