Time 1h13m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
32 ounces vegetable broth
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 large white potato, cubed
1/2 (10-ounce) box frozen corn
1/2 (10-ounce) box frozen peas
5 ounces fresh green beans, cut into bite size pieces
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
Peanut oil, to fry
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 (1-inch thick) bone-in center cut pork chops

Steps:

In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter and saute carrots, celery and onion until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the flour to the vegetables and blend well. Cook the flour until it achieves a slight blonde color. Next, stir in the tomato paste and allow to slightly cook, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth while stirring and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat and add the can of diced tomatoes and the potatoes. Simmer until potatoes are cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the peanut oil in an electric fryer or large pan fitted with deep-fry thermometer to 325 degrees F. In a large casserole dish, mix together flour, and season with salt and pepper. Dredge chops in flour mixture, patting excess off. Place chops, 2 at time, in fryer and cook until cooked through, about 6 minutes. Cool slightly and remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray.
Add the cooked chops to soup and simmer another 30 minutes, or until the meat falls off the bone. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the corn, peas, and green beans. Ladle soup into individual bowls, top with a pork chop and sprinkle with parsley.

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
One 6-ounce bone-in center-cut pork chop
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, cut in half, 1 half cut into wedges
One 14.5-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
10 ounces baby spinach

Steps:

Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Season the pork chop with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour and add to the skillet. Cook until golden, about 5 minutes, then flip and cook to desired doneness, about 3 minutes more. Give the lemon half a good squeeze over the chop.
Next, add the cannellini beans and spinach to a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through and the spinach is just wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Give the beans and spinach a good squeeze of the lemon half.
Serve the beans and spinach alongside the pork chop with the lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Fry the food in small batches so that it cooks evenly.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the food from the oil. This will help to drain off excess oil.
Season the food with salt and pepper, or other spices, to taste.
Serve the food immediately while it is still hot and crispy.
