Cut and add apple. Add 1 tbs 7 spice powder. Reduce heat to medium. Add honey. Toast [a sliced frozen 3 oz Sami's Bakery hamburger roll or] bread. Add the cubed toasted bread to the pan and toss to mingle the ingredients. Prepare a vegetable! I either microwave broccoli for four minutes in a large bowl with a little water covered with a plate, finished with fresh lemon juice, or sauté Lacinato kale with olive oil, sliced garlic, and cracked pepper and sea salt. Or maybe some steamed julienned zucchini skins or green beans... While your are working with the veggie, transfer the apple stuffing to another vessel to hold. Return the chef's pan to high heat and sear the pork chops on both sides. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook to an internal temperature of 135 deg F, or desired doneness. Plate it. Eat it.

PAN FRIED PORK CHOPS AND CREAMY MUSHROOM RICE

Steps:

• 1. In a medium to large skillet (depending on size and number of pork chops) preheat the oil.
• 2. Season both sides of each pork chop to taste with each of the seasonings. Over medium brown the pork chops until each side is golden (watch them carefully as they burn quickly).
• 3. When each chop is browned on both sides, add enough water to the bottom of the pan (I pour between the chops) and cover the pan. Don't use too much water as it will wash the seasonings off the meat. Reduce heat to low. This steams the chops, cooking them without burning. NOTE: you will still need to turn them and rotate them and watch the water in the pan. You don't want to dry out the pan and burn your chops.
• 4. While the chops are cooking (usually only take about 8 minutes or so so watch them carefully or else they dry out), add rice and water to the pan and cook according to the package directions. You can use minute or instant rice if you would prefer or a rice cooker will also work.
• 5. When the rice is done and the pork chops are cooked, remove the chops from the pan and pour your cooked rice into the pork chop pan. You want all of the seasonings and drippings from the meat so don't pour that out. Stir the seasoning mixture and rice together and add the two cans of mushroom soup. The rice should be creamy so if it's looking dry, add 1/4 can(I use the empty soup can) of milk at a time until the rice mix is creamy-not watery. Heat until rice and sauce are hot. Serve with your favorite veggie. Enjoy!

PAN-FRIED BREADED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Lay pork chops on a baking sheet, and season well on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Combine eggs and milk in a low, flat bowl. Season with salt, pepper and the small pinch of cayenne.
• Sprinkle flour generously over the chops on both sides, then shake off excess.
• Submerge the floured chops in the egg mixture, and turn them over several times to coat well. Leave chops in egg mixture for 5 minutes.
• Use your left hand to remove a chop from the batter and drain off excess liquid. Place chop on a baking sheet and, with your right hand, heavily sprinkle with bread crumbs on both sides. Repeat with remaining chops.
• Sprinkle each chop again with crumbs, patting with your hand to make sure crumbs adhere and coat well. Refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to fry.
• Set a wide cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add clarified butter to a depth of 1/2 inch. When butter is hot, lay in the chops without crowding, and let them fry very gently, about 4 to 5 minutes per side, until beautifully golden brown. (Turn down heat if they seem to be browning too fast.) If your pan is small, cook in 2 batches and keep finished chops warm in a 250-degree oven.
• Blot cooked chops on paper towels. Transfer to a warm platter or individual plates. Serve with lemon wedges.
