Categories     main-dish

Time 1h13m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

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.

These are the tender, slow cooked, melt in your mouth pork chops that your southern grandma used to make. I cut the fattening factor by using "Enova" oil. This is comfort food at its best.

Categories     Pork     Fry     Sauté     Dinner     Meat     Pork Chop     Spice

Yield Makes 6 regular or 4 Daisy servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Six to eight 1-inch-thick loin pork chops (3 to 4 pounds)
3 tablespoons Dry Rub , homemade or store-bought
Juice of 3 oranges
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Canola or other vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 2. Marinate the chops at room temperature for up to 1 hour or in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
  • 3. Pour enough oil into a large, heavy skillet to film the bottom. (If necessary, work in batches or use two skillets - if you have them and space on the stove to hold them.) Heat the oil over medium heat until rippling. Remove the chops from the marinade and discard the marinade. Add as many chops as will fit in the pan without touching. Cook until the chops are well browned on the underside, about 6 minutes. Turn the chops and cook until they are firm near the bone when you poke them with a finger, about 8 minutes. Keep warm while cooking the second batch, if necessary. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick for best results. Thinner chops will cook too quickly and dry out.
  • Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or grill pan for cooking the pork chops. This will help to prevent the chops from sticking and will also create a nice sear.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat until they are cooked through. Do not overcook, as this will make the chops tough and dry.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Grandma's pork chops are a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
