Doing something exciting with a Pork Chop
Discussion
No, not salsa dancing, skydiving, snowboarding or even Lacrosse. I have some sizeable boneless pork chop things, and I fancy cooking something tasty with them, so hit me with your best pork chop recipes PH'ers. I like cooking spicy things, I'll eat pretty much anything bar aubergine, courgette and mushrooms, and I've got a reasonably well stocked kitchen, so what should I make.
The current winning idea for this evening is to slice it into small bits, and make some BBQ sauce up, some white bread, and attempt some sort of pork / BBQ toasted thing with cheese. mmmmmmmm.

i'm sorry i don't have any sensible suggestions. Hopefully the activity in the thread will attract more intelligent people? Dry each side with a kitchen towel - then stick in crushed black peppercorns - marinade in garlic/olice oil overnight.
Then put marinade in frying pan, heat, add pork chops.
When cooked, add glass of red wine to frying pan - reduce down.
Remove pork chops onto plates - add some cream to frying pan to make a nice sauce and pour over chops

How about going German on them. Trim the fat off, put them between two bits of greaseproof paper batter the hell out of them with a rolling pin till they are about 5mm thick. Whisk an egg and dunk them in, drop them into some seasoned breadcrumbs, and repeat. Shallow fry them till golden and serve with a fried egg on top with a side of potato salad sprinkled with capers. Make sure you serve them with a nice wheat beer for authenticity.
Sauté turning frequently until they brown well, deglaze with a splash of your favourite gin and reduce the liquid until almost dry then deglaze a second time with more gin. Add half a glass of white wine, a good dollop of double cream and a generous teaspoon of whole grain mustard. Reduce the heat and simmer until the pork is well cooked and the sauce reduced to your preferred consistency. Add a little dash of gin at the end for fragrance and for best effect serve with mash made from oven baked potatoes.

Gin is a surprisingly delicate flavour and reduces very quickly when it is cooked so you want to be reasonably generous with it. Deglazing with a spirit works better with several small amounts rather than one large one as you would with wine.
big dollop natural yogurt
slightly less big dollop of mango chutney
spice - chilli flakes or powder, garam massala etc whatever you want really
mix to make marinade (can also be used as a dip at this point)
marinade pork chops for a bit
place chops on grill making sure coated with marinade and grill until cooked. You get a lovely, crispy glaze on the chop from the yogurt / chutney mix.
heat remaining marinade in pan until just bubbling and you've killed off the raw pork germs, then serve with the pork chop, rice and a side of your choosing.
marinade / sauce also works well when BBQing. Can use with chicken too.

coat in flour and fry in butter
when cooked take them out of the pan, bung in a load of capers and anchovies, continue to fry until the capers beak down and then spoon them onto the chops
