MY DAD SWEARS MY SISTER MAKES THE BEST PORK CHOPS IN THE WORLD



My Dad Swears My Sister Makes the Best Pork Chops in the World image

My sister learned the basic flour mix from her former mother-in-law, who grew up in Carruthersville, Missouri. My sister kept hearing Emeril say how well garlic went with pork, so she added it to her seasoning mix. My dad still swears that my maternal grandmother (his former mother-in-law) made the best fried chicken ever. Born in 1919, she was the eldest daughter, and second of ten children, raised on a farm outside the town of Black Oak, Arkansas. Even after my parents divorced, Dad was occasionally invited to eat Grandmommy's fried chicken. He always relished those meals, and still talks about them today. My grandmother never told anyone, except my grandfather, her secret to breading her chicken, but she did tell my sister her trick to frying it. My sister has incorporated that method into her pork chop recipe.

Categories     Pork

Time 15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb pork chop
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
water (Milk, Buttermilk or Egg Wash can be substituted)
oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Mix dry ingredients in a resealable bag (Ziplock).
  • Rinse pork chops under running water. Toss them into a ziplock bag and shake, to coat well.
  • In a cast iron skillet, cook chops in enough oil to come 1/2 way up the side of the chops, for example - 1 inch chops need 1/2 an inch of oil, on medium high heat for approximately 4 minutes each side, until golden brown.
  • For the last 30 seconds of cooking the second side, increase heat to high, to "cook the grease out of it" (Grandmommy's secret for fried chicken).
  • Blot on paper towels before serving.

FATHER'S DAY PORK CHOPS

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 bone-in pork chops (about 2 pounds total), pounded to 1/2" thickness
1 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
Zest from half a lemon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Ingredient Info: Panko is available in the Asian foods section of better supermarkets and at Asian markets.

Steps:

  • Arrange pork in a single layer in a large baking dish and cover with vinegar. Let sit 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Set up your dredging stations: one small baking dish with flour; one with eggs; and one with panko, zest, thyme, and oregano
  • Heat a large cast-iron or heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons olive oil. Season each chop generously with salt and pepper. Have the kids use a fork to dredge each chop first in the flour, then in the egg, then in the panko mixture; make sure they coat the sides as well as the tops and bottoms, as every inch of crust is crucial. Then have the kids hand them over to Mom (or whoever is cooking) so she can put them into the hot oil. Working in 2 batches, cook pork chops-wiping out skillet with a paper towel after the first batch and adding the remaining 3 tablespoons oil-until crispy and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops well: Pork chops are a blank canvas for flavor, so don't be afraid to season them liberally. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a good place to start, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. If you cook them over too high heat, they will quickly become tough and chewy.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to perfection is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chop and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops turn out perfectly cooked and flavorful every time.
