Categories     dinner, easy, quick, one pot, main course

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 8-ounce pork chops, with bone, trimmed of fat
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan
10 ounces (about 3) medium tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
1/2 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup peanut oil, for frying
4 ounces (about 4 cups) baby spinach leaves, washed and dried

Steps:

  • Place the chops between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a mallet or rolling pin, beat around the bone, turning once, until the meaty part of the chop is half as thick.
  • In a wide, shallow bowl, combine the egg, mustard, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Beat with a fork until blended. In another wide, shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs with Parmesan. Press each chop into the egg mixture, coating each side. Then dip each into the bread crumbs, covering them evenly. Set aside on a rack or plate.
  • In a large bowl, combine the tomato, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir to blend; set aside.
  • Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peanut oil, and heat just until a bread crumb sizzles when dropped into the oil; do not overheat. Add the chops. Cook, turning once, until deep golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes a side.
  • Transfer the chops to two plates. Toss the spinach in the tomato mixture until it is well coated, and place equal portions of salad over each crispy chop.

Tips:

  • For the perfect crispy pork chops, ensure your pan is very hot before adding the meat. This will help create a nice sear and prevent the chops from sticking.
  • To achieve a flavorful marinade, whisk together olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the pork chops generously with the marinade and allow them to sit for at least 30 minutes.
  • When cooking the pork chops, resist the urge to move them around too much in the pan. Let them sear undisturbed for several minutes on each side, until a crispy crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  • While the pork chops are cooking, prepare the garlicky spinach by sautéing spinach in olive oil with garlic, salt, and pepper. This simple yet delicious side dish complements the crispy pork chops perfectly.
  • For a refreshing and tangy touch, prepare a tomato salad using sliced tomatoes, red onion, basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. This salad adds a pop of color and flavor to the meal.
