Your best pork chop recipe?

[muffinmom]

I have never been much of a pork person, so I've never actually made them. But we have found ourselves with a couple of huge pork chops from a local CSA.

 

Would love to hear your favorite way to prepare them.

[melik]

Salt and pepper

brown in a little oil on both sides

a couple squeezes of maple syrup

little mustard

cover

simmer until done

 

Yum!!

[hornblower]

Trim off bone & fat.

 

Beat with a meat tenderizer on both sides until very thin.

 

If you're starting with a large pork chop, you may need to cut it in half when you're beating with the tenderizer or it won't fit on a frying pan.

 

I start with 4 in. fast fry (thin) chops & they usually double in size once I've finished whacking them.

 

Prepare 3 plates or soup plates:

 

1) flour with salt & freshly ground pepper

 

2) beaten egg

 

3) bread crumb

 

Dip each chop in 1, 2, 3 & then fry in a bit of safflower oil, without crowding, Often that means one at a time on a big shallow pan. Place in warm oven, directly on rack while cooking the others.

 

Serve with slice of lemon on top, mashed potatoes, & steamed veg (traditionally cooked sauerkraut)

 

This is often served here in Ukrainian, Polish & German restaurants as "breaded pork schnitzel".

Crushed corn flakes

Dip pork chops in evaporated milk and then pat crushed corn flakes on chops. Arrange in baking dish. Drizzle with a little melted butter. Cook at 375 for 45 minutes.

I lived in Eastern Europe for a year (many years ago) and am very familiar (and fond of!) schnitzel! Thanks for reminding me of the possibility.:)

can you all tell a difference in moisture, depending on whether you pan-fry or bake pork chops?

We love this one from Alton Brown. I serve them with roasted, mashed squash or a brussel sprout hash.
