I've got some pork chops thawing out.

I don't know what to do with them.

Oh yea though I walk through the valley of hunger I shall not want....



Please to post your best pork chop recipies below but alas don't get too fancy schmancy on my cooking challenged arse.

Thanks to all who offer up a yummy treat.

Yours in Christ,
--Robert Alphonso Booey

Update [2008-5-27 9:57:35 by Bob Abooey]: - I should note I would ideally like to bake them (with some kind of stuffing or something) but I won't neglect a recipe based solely on this criteria.

I'm off to help a buddy put in a new kitchen floor - I'll be back this afternoon to check for tonight's dinner goodness!!

Pork chop by Merekat (4.00 / 1) #1 Tue May 27, 2008 at 09:41:41 AM EST
Recipe may require translation.

Season pork chop with salt, pepper and (ideally fresh) thyme. Shallow fry in a little regular olive oil, turning once. Don't poke at it while it is frying - you want tasty caramelised burnt bits to form. When done, remove the pork chop and leaving the pan on the heat, throw in a small glass of cider (the kind with alcohol preferably) and stir until all the tasty burnt bits are mixed in. Keep it on the heat until it goes kind of syrupy and then pour that over the pork chop. Serve with mashed potatoes.

buy lots of by sasquatchan (4.00 / 1) #3 Tue May 27, 2008 at 09:47:17 AM EST
'kraut, and put said chops in the kraut, and bake most of the day at around 230 F. Serve with heaps of buttery mashed taters. (country/pork spare ribs might be better than chops)

Pan fry to sear the outsides, then bake ~20-30 minutes at 350 in some nice chutney.

Skip the meal entirely and consecrate the kitchen table with the nympho. Then go for a hike.

It depends on what sort of chop it is by MartiniPhilosopher (2.00 / 0) #4 Tue May 27, 2008 at 09:49:28 AM EST
If it is a big, thick chop I'll trim the excess fat off, cut it so it is half as thick and prepare it as one would a pork tenderloin. Stick it a folded over sheet of plastic wrap and pound it until thin. Usually about three-eights an inch or less. The chop can double or triple in size during the pounding depending on how thick it was to begin with and how thick you want to make it. I then dreg it in some seasoned flour and fry it in a pan with some veg & olive oil until the outside is GBD. You can serve it on a bun with sides or just as it is with your favorite sauces. Barbecue sauce is good but any sweet or savory sauce will do.

pound them thin, coat with pepper and flour, mix up some eggs, drag through eggs, coat with flour, and let chill for an hour.

Fry up, serve with a slice of lemon, applesauce, pumpernickel and a small central European country.

Bread it. Fry it. In bacon grease if you have it. Bread it with white flour and egg. Add black pepper to the flour.

Serve with wilted spinach.

Baked you say? Okay, make a mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic, lemon zest, parmesan and some random italian-style dried herbs. Put the chops into a baking dish, top with the mixture and bake for as long as it needs. Serve with some pasta in a basic tomato sauce.



Eat them. Eat them? EAT thEM?!?! by ObviousTroll (4.00 / 1) #9 Tue May 27, 2008 at 10:27:34 AM EST
Why? Make them make you some balloon animals, instead.

But, if you have to, here's what I do: Take a can of pears in light syrup and puree the contents, including the syrup. Pour into a sauce pan. Add 2 tbs or so of rhubarb or strawberry spread and a teaspoon of Accent flavor enhancer.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, stirring constantly. Remove when thick. Pour over porkchops and bake @ 350 for one hour.

Has anybody seen my clue? I know I had it when I came in here.

was created when I opened the refrigerator and said "okay, time to dump some leftovers".

Pork works well with apples by wiredog (2.00 / 0) #19 Tue May 27, 2008 at 01:26:24 PM EST
Any pork recipie that calls for white wine, such as a braise, you can substitute apple juice.

Sometimes it's useful to step back from the tried-and-true.

Pork chops with apple wedges and onions is one of my wife's favorite things to cook.

pork goes good with fruit by garlic (2.00 / 0) #22 Tue May 27, 2008 at 03:10:27 PM EST
apples, pears, peaches, apricots all turn out good with pork. As a corrolary, these fruits all go well with potato pancakes so they can go good with porkchops too.

if you'll be out all day by sasquatchan (2.00 / 0) #10 Tue May 27, 2008 at 10:29:18 AM EST
than any kind of seasoning or marinade now is right out.

So if they are thick enough, slice open one side, and stuff with what you'd like.

I've had a good pistachio/almond crusted pork chop (coated, fried), but figure you can also stuff with the nuts as well. Unsure what would make a good binder to hold the stuffing together..

I've tried this. It's delish.

I've also done one with whisky and juniper berries, but can't find the recipe now. This isn't it, but it sounds good.

If it's a really thick chop, by toxicfur (2.00 / 0) #12 Tue May 27, 2008 at 10:32:00 AM EST
you can adapt my favorite pork loin recipe and stuff with chopped apples, fresh sage, and stilton. Salt and pepper all over. Put in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake until almost done at a lowish (like 300F) temperature. Take the foil off and finish under a broiler just until the top is slightly browned.

My favorite way to eat pork chops, though, is how blixco eats them. My other favorite way is to layer them with sliced potatoes and onions, top with Campbell's mushroom soup (or, better, a homemade mushroom white sauce), and bake until done.

Pork chop recipe by ucblockhead (2.00 / 0) #14 Tue May 27, 2008 at 11:37:45 AM EST
Get a biodegradable box, and put the pork chops in. Bury this box in your back yard, adding an appropriate stone monument. Hold a small service to mourn the poor, defenseless pig, chopped down in the prime of youth and then beg forgiveness from Gaia for being an accessory to the destruction of one of her perfect creatures.

Not baked, still tasty by notafurry (2.00 / 0) #17 Tue May 27, 2008 at 12:34:11 PM EST
Season chops with salt, pepper, and a little thyme. Lightly brown, just a few minutes each side on medium-high heat in a large frying pan. Add cream of mushroom soup to cover the chops, add 2 TB peanut butter. Cover and simmer 30 minutes or until chops are done (it's pork, use a thermometer to make sure it's completely cooked.) Add green beans, simmer until beans are how you like them.

My baked recipe is better, but you already have a couple of similar ones up above.
