OVEN-FRIED PORK CHOPS RECIPE WITH SWEET POTATOES AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F with oven rack 6 inches from heat. Stir together mustard, thyme, rosemary, pepper, and 1 1⁄2 teaspoons of the salt in a small bowl. Reserve 2 teaspoons of the mixture.
• Stir together panko, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a shallow dish. Rub pork chops with mustard mixture, and dredge 1 side of pork in panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Place pork on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, with dredged side facing up.
• Toss together potatoes, shallots, 1 1⁄2 tablespoons of the oil, and remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Arrange potato mixture around pork chops. Bake in preheated oven until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of pork registers 118°F, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to broil. Toss haricots verts with 1 tablespoon of the oil, and scatter around pork chops. Broil until pork registers 135°F and vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Let pork rest 10 minutes (internal temperature will increase to 145°F). Whisk together vinegar, reserved 2 teaspoons mustard mixture, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; drizzle over vegetables.

FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Place the pork chops between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Use the tenderizer side for a few whacks at the end. Sprinkle both sides of the pork chop with salt and pepper.
• Finely crush the butter crackers in a large plastic resealable bag.
• In a small baking dish, combine the flour and cayenne. In a second dish combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the crushed crackers to a third dish.
• Dredge a pork chop through the flour mixture, dusting off any excess, then through the buttermilk, letting excess drip off, and then through the crushed crackers, making sure to coat on each side. Set on a sheet tray and continue with the remaining chops. Rest the chops for 10 minutes in the refrigerator. This will help the breading stick to the chops.
• Fill a large high-sided skillet halfway with vegetable oil and heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted into the oil reaches 375 degrees F.
• Using tongs, carefully place the pork chops in batches, into the hot oil. Fry, flipping once halfway through cooking (only if the chops are not submerged), until golden brown and fully cooked, about 8 minutes. Repeat with the remaining pork and serve.

• 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.
