PORK CHOPS IN MILK MARINADE



Pork Chops in Milk Marinade image

Easy recipe for pork chops in milk marinade with lots of garlic and seared in the skillet. Served with vegetable rice.

Provided by Adina

Categories     Meat Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 pork chops (about 175-200 g/ 6-7 oz each)
5 garlic cloves
3 cups full-fat milk (750 ml/ 25 fl.oz, Note 1)
sweet paprika powder
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Generously sprinkle the pork chops with salt. Place them in a shallow, glass casserole dish (like Pyrex, Note 2).
  • Stir marinade: Grate the garlic and mix it with about one cup of milk.
  • Marinade pork: Pour this milk carefully over the pork chops. Pour more milk until the pork chops are completely covered with milk. Cover the dish with plastic foil and place it in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
  • Remove the dish from the refrigerator about one hour before cooking the meat.
  • Prepare chops for cooking: Take them out of the brine and dry them very well with kitchen paper. Coat them lightly with the flour, sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, and sweet paprika powder on both sides.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet or another pan. You should have a thin oil film on the entire bottom of the skillet; two tablespoons were enough for my 12-inch skillet.
  • Cook pork: Add the pork and cook for 3 minutes on one side until golden; turn and continue cooking for another 2 minutes until golden. You might add one minute or so if the chops are on the larger side.
  • Check internal temperature; it should be 145°F/ 63 °C.
  • Rest meat: Transfer pork chops to a warm plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for a few minutes.
  • Serve: Place the meat on serving plates and pour some of the meat juices collected in the platter over the rice and the meat. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Bone-in pork chops are best for marinating, as the bone helps to keep the meat moist and flavourful.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: There are many different types of marinades to choose from, so experiment until you find one that you like. Some popular options include olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices.
  • Marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the pork chops, the more flavour they will absorb. However, do not marinate the pork chops for more than 24 hours, as this can make the meat tough.
  • Bring the pork chops to room temperature before cooking: This will help the pork chops to cook evenly.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help to prevent the pork chops from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to the proper temperature: Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be easily marinated and cooked. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops are tender, flavourful, and cooked to perfection.
